Deleting auto text in Google search using 3G S

In Safari when I tap the Google search window and begin to type in some text it automaticaly shows suggestions that I want deleted. I have tried all previous suggestions about chaging to Yahoo then clearing the history, cookies, and cache under settings then switching back to Google. However, this does not work. Any suggestions??

Try this...
When you open Safari...then you tap the google search bubble... type anything...allow google to search...
When the page has loaded...goto the bottom of the web page...you should see links "Advanced search" "Preferences" and "more"
Click the preferences link...
It should take to to the Google settings area...
Here you should see one of the selections as Save recent Searches...change the radio button to NO then scroll down and click save

How do I get rid of "inbox search"? It is now where "Google search" used to be.

''''''
I was down loading something but got "Inbox search" instead. It displaced "google search in the normal search box at the upper right corner of the screen.
The search I get is now very limited. I am so frustrated that I now go back to Safari to be able to use google.
I eliminated all by add-ons and went back to default mode to no avail.
Also I put firefox in trash and reinstalled firefox but this "inbox search is still there. help

Google searches using search bar fail to connect

When I use the search toolbar to search Google or Bing, I get a Connection was reset error. No problem with Wikipedia or Yahoo.
No problem using the same function with Safari.
Can go to Google in the address bar, but again, searches fail to connect.
What gives?

Visit the '''[http://www.google.com/ncr Google.com in English]''' link at the page you see. If you have [[Cookies]] enabled, then that should send you to the English page and save your preference.
If that doesn't affect the search engine, try this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-com-googlecom-in-englis/

MacBook with 10.6.6 using Firefox 3.6.13. Parts of many websites not loading properly, from banking to Google searches. I'll see some of the text on the page, but most is missing.

Example: I do a Google search using the word 'Firefox' and see most of the Google upper left corner details but no info or URLs actually load so no searching can be done.
If I copy and paste a chunk of the page, I do see the text that should be visible, but is not.
Is there a way of sharing screen grabs? Easier than describing this.

No I'm not using NoScript, but I'm pleased to report that the problem got resolved by deleting the original bookmark, logging in again, opening Google calendar, then bookmarking it again.

Google search displays strange characters before search, firefox 3.6.7, ubuntu 10.04

I get these strange characters when I go to Google search using Firefox 3.6.7 and Ubuntu 10.04.......see below
ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏲᎲᎢᎠᏑᏰᏍᏗ ᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏁᎵᏔᏅ (These characters are on the Google search page before I search and below search bar.
strange characters below:
ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ Directory ᏚᎾᏓᏡᎬ
What is going on....It reads OK using Chromium. I can't read anything. I am using Firefox 3.6.7. My View....character encoding is set to :
Western(ISO-8859-1) and auto detect "on"
== ?

Just to update this topic if anyone else has the issue. I've fixed it by manually amending the following setting in about:config -
Preference name: intl.accept_languages
Value: en-gb, en
If you're in the US you'd use ''en-us, en'' instead.
I then re-ran Firefox Sync and now on the Windows machines this value shows up as User Defined instead of default and this is now kept when syncing (I'm assuming the default values are not included when syncing preferences, for obvious reasons).

Why is safari google search requiring authentication?

The safari google function on my iPad w/OSX6 keeps asking for a user name and password. I ave no ideas what they are asking for. Google search using Safari is useless now. So sorry I downloaded OSX6 now.....is there a fix for this?

Exactly! Not at all understanding why poster clkuan doesn't get it.....
First of all, you got all the terms wrong and now you said I don't get it?
Now, for the last time, you don't need a userid & password doing a search in Google unless you want to log in to some paid web sites. I just try that to check.
And, I don't find much here in this forum similar to your case.
It still happens even after Apple gave me a new iPad!!! They seemed to know exactly what I was saying and all about the problem but would not disclose to me why it was happening...they just gave me a new iPad. Problem is still there.
"They seem to know", how can you tell?
What I also don't understand is that, you go all the way to an Apple Store and they gave you a new iPad. You went home without checking whether your problem is solved?
Now try this, Settings > Safari > Private Browsing: OFF, Accept Cookies : From visited is selected.
Tap Clear History & Clear Cookies and Data.
Make sure and the rest of the options are ON.
Double tab Home button and delete Safari form multitask bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

Google search bar in safari with SL

clear searches is now gone and google doesn't suggest any search terms as you type.

HI,
Try resetting Safari and see if that help...
To reset Safari, choose Reset Safari from the Safari menu.
From here you can clear history, empty the cache, clear the downloads window, remove all cookies, remove all website icons, remove saved names and password, remove other AutoFill form text, clear Google searches, and close all Safari windows.
You can do these all at once, or one at a time to try to preserve items you want for convenience.

Google search bar in safari

a not very serious but annoying little problem i have here.. all other websites display fine, but when i do a google search using the bar in safari i get it all back in some foriegn language. going to google.com and doing the same search it's all in english.. short of learning russian i'mnot sure what to do here.
using lucidia grande 13pt for viewing sites, with default encoding of western ISO latin 1.
help (dont know what that is in russian)

Try to download Acid Search again a bit later. The site may be up and running by then.
There is also Safari Enhancer which in its system wide settings has the ability to change search engines.
This again can be found on Macupdate.com or Versiontracker.com

Webpage not highlighted on google search list after being viewed

I am using an Acer Aspire One netbook running XP. I do a google search using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.22 and get the usual list of search results.
Now when I view a website from the search list and then go back to the search list there is nothing indicating that I have viewed that particular page.
In the past once you've viewed a page from the google search list the underlined link normally changes colour is is highlighted to show that the page from the list has already been viewed.
This enables the user to keep track on what webpages have been viewed and which ones haven't.
I'm sure there must be a solution. I have the remember history switched on in the browser, tools/privacy window.
Can you assist please.
Thanks.

Do you only have that problem on the Google site?
Google is using a visited color (#551a8b) that is hardly distinguishable from the unvisited color (#2200cc), so may not notice it.

With the current warning regarding internet explorer, is your "google" search engine safe? If not, what would be the safest search engine?

Same as above. I'm concerned about using internet explorer at this time. I would appreciate your response.

What is the warning you are reading about ?
This is probably not really a Firefox support question if it relates to Search engines.
The Google Search used is an HTTPS version and so that helps with security. Firefox itself has some security features built in. You may find these articles of interest.

When I right click and "Search Google for ____" the resulting google search comes up in a new tab AND the current tab

Right click google search used to open only in a new tab. Now it opens in a new tab and after a moment, the current tab also.
Any ideas?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Google search disable the web page, how to get it back?

When i do a Google search using the safari option up right, the web page turn grey but sont comme back available. I need to reboot the iPad.
Any tricks?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
You see the orange Firefox button when the menu bar is hidden
*In current Firefox versions it is possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to make the (orange) Firefox button appear.
*Tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to bring up the menu bar temporarily if you need to access a menu on it.
*Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or empty space on the tab bar to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Has search using google been replaced by search using websearch?

When i highlight some text and right click, the option to search using google has been replaced by a option to search using "WebSearch". Is this a recent firefox change?

You can check the home page setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
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).
You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
