AJAX search box (i.e. Google Suggest)

Can anyone provide me with an example of how I can replicate the functionality of Google Suggest: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en.
I would like to provide the user with a text box and as they type in a letter at a time, the result set that is displayed is filtered accordingly.
Regards
Duncan

Hello,
There's a whole thread discussing this, with a how-to write up at one of the links from this thread.

My search box does not display suggestions even though it is set to (it displays past searches, but not suggestions). I have looked at the FAQs and everything is set for it to show suggestions.

My search box does not show suggestions although it is set to show suggestions.

MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly. I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi?

Firefox highlights search boxes in light blue and I cannot see what I'm typing. How do I fix this?

Recently firefox started highlighting the background color in search boxes/fields (ie. google) in a light blue color and I cannot see what I'm typing in the field. Please help.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

With firefox 4, google toobar seach box suggestions no longer appear in the search box itself

After installing Firefox 4:
When I start typing in the Google toolbar search box an item, like NYT and the search suggestions appear -- like NY Times -- I used to be able to click on "NY Times" and this would appear filled out in the Google search box. This no longer happens. Instead, what I have typed in is the only thing showing: NYT.

I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

Just downloaded Firefox 4.0; Google search box is failing to complete searches and then to take me to websites suggested. HUGELY FRUSTRATING!!! Want to go back to version 3.6.16 but am unable

Google toolbar white search box (top left of screen) will offer suggestions to complete searches (as it used to do): for example type 'l' and 'lloyds tsb' will come up. When I click on the offered 'lloyds tsb' nothing happens; on version 3.6.13 and previous versions I would be taken direct to website selected on click. Now I have to type in whole of desired website: not just 'l' but all of 'lloyds tsb', for example, before being redirected to where I want to go.
Have used Firefox for ages; so frustrated that I'm contemplating returning to Internet Explorer or trying Google Chrome.
I've tried reinstalling 4.0 three time and no joy.
Help me or lose me!

Cheers - other 3.6.13 downloads I've tried all come up as 'file corrupted'.
Would stil like to know why the problem with Google search not completing and if I can resolve this on version 4.0...

Google search box in Safari not displaying matches

Hello,
I just did the latest Software Update on both my MacBook Pro and iMac (the update was a new iTunes--version 10.3). I'm not sure why this is happening, but when I use the Google search box (located in the upper-right corner of the Safari window), I no longer see a list of possible matches to what I'm typing. Both of my computers now do not display them, yet it has always done this in the past.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or do you know what happened?
Thank you very much.

My guess is Google did something wrong, figured it out and fixed it. The suggestions feature went away in Safari for Google, but not for bing, and continued to work in Firefox. It is all fixed this morning. I happened to be using Google when it stopped functioning, it had nothing to do with updates to the Mac, since as it went south I restarted in an earlier Snow Leopard version and discovered it was not working there either. So it was a Google action that caused the mishap, nothing that Apple did. Anyway, all's well now.

Google search box in TOC frame?

We are looking at the Google Mini search feature for our 14
version webhelp library. At one time we could edit the TOC frame in
RH to add customized features. Is that still an option? Are there
directions!!?? Adding one Google search box there would be
friendlier than adding it to every topic, if that's possible.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Advise?
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Does that box still Shows the Google text?
Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
Check the browser.search.defaultenginename pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
*browser.search.defaultenginename
You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.

Make google.co.uk default in search box in safari

I was hoping that by version 4 of safari we really should be able to change the search engine in the search box. I am happy with it searching google but it searches google.com not google.co.uk!
This is such a simple thing, but leaves anyone outside of the US with an unusable feature.
Apple seems to neglect the non USA customers generally, such as with the US english dictionary.
Anyone have any suggestions or know how to make a request to apple?

Cursor is in URL field, not (Google) search box

This problem is referred to on so many forums, but after half the afternoon going from site to site trying out suggestions, I haven't been able to fix it...
When I open Firefox (Google is my homepage), the cursor is in the Google search box, but if I open more tabs, the cursor is always in the URL field. Why would anyone want that?
I have tried restarting Firefox with all my addons disabled, and tried using extensions like NewTabURL 2.2.3, but the problem is there just the same. Has anyone found a definitive way to fix this?
Thanks!

First, please update to the latest version of Firefox. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Currently this is the default behavior to have the cursor in the url bar when you open a new tab. However there has been another add on that has been suggested in the past: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-cursor/?src=search]

When using Google Toolbar, and I begin entering a search term, several complete choices appear, but when I click on one of them, autocomplete does not fill in the search box.

Why does the complete suggested search term not appear in the search box when I click on it?

Probably caused by search redirect Malware.

Autocomplete in google search box fails in new version 4

when typing a search term in the google box, the suggested completions appear, but will not be clicked into the search box.
What can I do?

This is a big one guys, good thing this is a BETA release, eh? I hope this bug fix is deployed before the hard launch, because man is it a pothole for efficiency.
I'm liking 4.0 on the whole though, Firefox is still the best option for my $ :)

Google search box in mid screen accepts text but is inactive. Adobe reader does not now function with Firefox. Both are new since update.Thanks

1. The google search box in the middle of the FF page accepts text but is not active since my update. The search bar box works.
2. Adobe reader does not seem to work with the new update. eg. Epost suggested I update Reader which I did but it still doesn't work. New since update. It works with Safari which I dislike or i would simply change.
Thanks
David

Why won't my "searchpreview" add-on work from my browser search box since Firefox updated to 3.6.16, but it works when I do it from the Google main page??

Since Firefox updated itself to 3.6.16 earlier today, when I search for anything in my Google search box on the browser, it always used to show me thumbnails when the Google page came up. Now there are no thumbnails appearing, except if I go on the Google main page and search from there, the thumbnails still appear. Whe it updated, the browser automatically searched for incompatability problems with my add-ons but nothing appeared to say Searchpreview was incompatible.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
