Awesome Bar search not working properly

When I try to search from the Awesome Bar, instead of searching with Ixquick (which I set in about:config), it searches the currently active engine in the Search Bar. I have Firefox Portable 23.0 (by PortableApps.com) and run it on Windows 8.

That is a new feature in Firefox 23.

The "Awesome Bar" is not working. It does not recall anything from the Bookmarks

Just updated to new Firefox. In the past, when I would start to type a site in the address bar firefox would complete it as it was already in my bookmarks. But now it does not do anything. It just sits there waiting for me to complete the address. I could start to type Netf and it automatically finish Netflix.com
Why is this happening. Also, for the first couple days of the new version I had to go back into Tools, Options and reset things at least 3 or 4 times before they would finally stay the way I wanted them.
I would tell it Never Remember History and after while I would look and it would say, Remember History. I wanted a Blank Start page, and it kept changing it. It's okay now but the Awesome Bar is not working at all.

Do your bookmarks show up in the auto-suggest drop-down list?
''If not:'' Under Options > Privacy, in the bottom section, does it still show that Firefox should suggest Bookmarks in the Location bar?
If auto-suggest works but the autofill isn't happening, you could double-check that it has not been disabled here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''autof''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the '''browser.urlbar.autoFill''' preference is bold and "user set" to false, double-click it to switch its value back to the default value of true. That should work in new tabs.
It's it already true, hmm, I wonder whether this is a private browsing issue? (I didn't test with automatic private browsing.)

Navigation bar does not work properly in CS3

The navigation bar shows only the up and the over pictures in
all browsers. It works properly in a framed site, showing all 4
different pictures. But not in the css-layout based site with files
from the same template, which show all in the same window. Does
anyone know where this problem comes from?

> Why not use frames again?
This question is answered in detail several times a day here,
but here's the
executive summary -
1. They are difficult for inexperienced users to get right -
a) pages will not align properly if one of them throws
scrollbars
b) links will not work when targeted into different frames
without
hand-modification of code
c) new (and inexperienced users) have problems with the idea
of a single
frameset page that only specifies constituent frames
d) new (and inexperienced users) can be confused by the fact
that the
<title> tag on the frameset page is the one that
appears in the browser
e) etc., etc., etc.
2. They are difficult for your visitors
a) depending on how savvy you are, you may have removed
scrollbars to
'fix' #1b, not thinking that you have also removed those
scrollbars for
people with smaller viewports
b) search engines will index *all* pages within your
frameset, meaning
that a navigation frame or a content only page MAY be shown
in a search hit
list - imagine the confusion when the page is loaded without
navigation, for
example
And - they are so amateur. Really.

With js rollovers it's only *easy* to achieve the up and the
over states.
With CSS rollovers, you can achieve up, over, over while
down, and down.

Much of this has been removed in CS4.

The DivaHTML extension is a good deal. It is just a CSS
rollover with an
'easy' user interface.

Date Axis Line/bar Chart not working properly when rendering through SDK

Hi all,
When i render a existing Crystal report 2011 through java SDK code(Eclipse) bar chart is working fine, But the Date Axis line chart is not displaying properly. the properties are getting changed.. Any clue how to handle this? Do we have particular jar for Chart?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Mirthu
I moved your post to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse SCN Space. Unfortunately, all I know about Java is that it's in the cup in front of me . But I will get someone to have a look that should be able to help you ASAP.

Search not working properly in mail

The search feature in Lion/Mail will not find names or words in the "Subject" category even when I know they exists. I use mail for my business and often need to find old emails from clients..... the new search feature in Lion does not work. How can Apple release a product with such a obvious flaw?
Other problems with mail.....
• When I open mail no new mail will appear in my "in box" until I select another mail box like "trash" or "Sent".... then the new mail will appear.
• The "Hide Mail" feature is greyed out when mail is open.... there's no way to hide mail.
• The scroll down bar on the right side of the window is hidden until you drag the edge of the frame over to reveal it.
• Windows are locked and can't be moved.
I've been using Apple products from the earliest days in the 1980's and quite frankly have been shocked at some of the things Apple is screwing up these days. From the Final Cut Pro conversion to Final Cut X disaster that has sent thousands of professional editors running to other products, to these seemingly small but irritating flaws with the new software being released before these problems have been addressed.
A search feature that does not work? Did anyone try this out before the release? Steve Jobs would be raising **** if he were still alive!

Thank you. I can't find "startup volume" in the side bar. Is that my SSD (or hard disc) main boot drive you're taliking about? I hope this will work...
If it doesn't work, you might try posting a new discussion to see if others might have some thoughts on it.

from the looks of it, I'm in serious trouble as this is now becomming a common issue and one that has no resolve. This really messes everything up as I need (as well as a lot of others out there) to use the search on a daily basis for me to check on past emails. I rely on that to work. This is terrible... There is really no other way to search for anything now. What was Apple thinking?...

Mail search not working properly

Just upgraded to ML and the search function in mail just isn't working properly, I didn't think the Lion mail search was great but this one seems 10 times worse. If I search for words contained within a message, the results only show messages from the last couple of months even though I know there's dozens of messages containing the same word from the last couple years.
I tried repairing permissions and rebooting. Still same issue.
If I manually open an old message, and then perform a search, that particualar message will get included in the results, but I can't open thousands of emails just for the search to index them.

You should try rebuilding your Spotlight index, as that's what Mail uses.
Go to Spotlight preferences, and drag your boot drive (probably called "Macintosh HD") into the privacy pane. Say OK to the warning. Then after about 10 seconds, remove it. The whole drive will be re-indexed (this will take a couple hours) and then search should work again.

My scroll bar is not working properly. It works if I click the outline only. How do I fix this?

I have tried reinstalling the lastest version but it did not fix the problem. I am running windows 7 on a hp envy. My scroll bar was working fine before the firefox version 4 update. Also the up and down arrows do not work unless I click on the outline of the boxes either. Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated as this is vary annoying.

Does your MacBook have a removable battery?
If so, try removing the battery and running just on the power adapter. Don't do anything too important as the computer will power off if the power adapter comes loose! Just do this for a few minutes to see if your trackpad works any better.
If your battery isn't removable, run your hand over the bottom of the computer - or run a level over it if you have one - to see if it's flat.
In either case, it's possible your battery has swollen and is applying pressure on the connection for the trackpad, which in turn means the trackpad won't work as expected.

Search not working Properly in Portal

Hello Experts,
we are using standard KM search iview for displaying custom search results in Portal,we have maintained Search Control set and Search option set properties of iview.
We have created custom control set and option set in KM ,we also configured the indexing in index management.
After this configutration search is working for documents which resides in 1 Folder of KM but with same configuration it is not working for the documents residing in 2nd folder.
Any input ,help and suggestion are most welcome.
Thanks & Regards,
Siddharth

Hello Siddharth,
Check what is the the indexing status of the files in the second folder ? File --> Details --> View --> Index information. Ideally it should be indexing status okay.
If the status is okay, then check for any filters in your search option set.
If it is not okay, then check whether approval or any time based publishing is enabled in the folder. Or is there any special characters in the folder name which is preventing the files inside from getting indexed.

The "awesome bar" is not working. There is no drop-down no matter what I do. If I click on the arrow or just start typing, nothing happens. ???

It used to work before the last Firefox update. It still works on my husband's computer and our settings are the same as far as I can tell. How do I fix this?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
See [[Smart Location Bar]]
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

Blog Searches not working properly

I am using the blog format for part of my website. When I use search it works great, except, when you click on the link to where your result is located it takes you to a site that doesn't exist. I think this is because I am using www.dougsQCcollectibles.com as my address, but the site is actually located at the .mac address. Is there a way to get search to link to the page at the .mac address rather than the mask at my purchased domain name?

I have the same experience. I have successfully setup a personal domain forwarding but the blog search results points to a not working URL.
Looking at this URL I think the search function gives the correct URL, but the URL forwarding does not work for deep links.
Anyone having the same problem?

Spotlight search not working properly : IOS 5.0.1

Hello, hope I can find some help here...
My partner is having some issues on her 4S since the IOS 5.0.1 update : when she does a spotlight search (swipe left on first home screen) and starts typing, nothing appears. Not as she's typing, not after she's finished typing for what she's looking for.
A restart of the phone fixes the problem for a while, but it just comes back.
I don't seem to be having the same issue on mine, but I don't use the search as much as she does.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

I am experiencing the same issue. My email accounts are fine. There is no issue with that. The issue appears to be between the Mail app and the Spotlight Search feature. If the Mail app is running then the spotlight search works fine. However, when the Mail app is closed it fails to work.
This is such a pain. I use the feature a TOn and to have it not work is a joke. I wish Apple would address all of the issue associated with iOs 5. Upgrading to a iPhone 4S along with iOS 5 has been a complete nightmate. I have seriously considered returing my phone and switching to an Android based phone. Apple is losing their edge by putting out shotty products coupled with poorly developed software.
Time is running short Apple. Fix the issues or you may have larger problems ahead.
It appears as if the operating system is becoming too complex for Apple to manage. The demise of the great phone and software combination if immenent. Apple reigh of supremecy is begining to diminish.

My bookmarks are gone, and the awesome bar is not working anymore.

Yesterday morning I had a short problem with my internet connection. I used the qwest quick care to try and solve the issue, but it didn't really help. The internet connection was restored later in the day. Now, however, all my bookmarks are gone and the "awesome bar" no longer makes suggestions for sites when we start typing.

Keyword search not working properly in Mail since iCloud upgrade

Since I upgraded to iCloud from MobileMe and Lion from Snow Leopard, the new Mail (Version 5.2 (1278)) does not execute keyword searches properly. With the previous version I could start entering a keyword and all potential matches based on my criteria (email contents, from, to, subject etc.) would populate the window with all possible matches from whichever folders I specified or all folders. That is not happening now. I have entered numerous keywords in the search box for matches I know exist, but they are not being found.
Anyone also seeing this issue? I am using Mail to access an IMAP email account for my business. Again, this was not a problem before the migration to iCloud and the forced Mail version upgrade.

Search not working properly in Artist or Genre tabs?

Hi - I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.1 on Mountain Lion (MacBook from about the end of 2010, beginning of 2011) a day or two ago from the app store, and I've just discovered a problem I can't find a solution to. When in the Artist or Genre tabs and using the search function, the main window doesn't update to reflect the search, even after hitting enter. The side bar updates, and it works fine in the Song and Album tabs.
An example of what I'm talking about:
I type linkin in the search bar, press enter (which is supposed to apply the search in the main window, rather than the little popup below the bar), and the sidebar updates, but the main window still shows everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.

TM Search not working properly?

Ok, so I had a video I downloaded (the IGN Video Review of Crysis) in my downloads folder, time machine in this period ended up backing them up, after which, I deleted the files off my computer and just to test out time machines capabilities, I opened it up, clicked on my downloads folder, typed in Crysis and did the search... However, it did not find the file by simply just typing Crisis into the search field. Oddly enough, if I didn't type anything in the search, and just browsed by time, it was there.....
I'm slightly confused by this, because if i delete a very important file at some point, remembering only the name of the file, but not its location, its got me thinking that it's going to have troubles actually finding the file for me.. Does anybody know why this happened?

Well I am not completely sure how you did your search but this seemed to work for me. I also deleted a document that wasn't too important to test out Time Machine's capabilities. I opened Time Machine and typed in the name of the file and clicked enter. It came up with some results that had a similar file name but I couldn't find the file I was looking for. I clicked the arrow sending me "back in time" and alas there the file was. I didn't have to continuously check every dated back-up to search for it; I simply typed it in the search bar, couldn't find it in the results, clicked the arrow sending me "back in time" and boom there it was, one-click restore and I was good. Hope this helps.
