Disabling bing in searching for the url address in Touchsmart browser

I pasted a web address for my email login webpage (https://...) as a website tile and bing looks for it and does not find it.  But if I paste the web address in the browser, it finds it fine.  I would like to disable bing from searching my email webpage.  I woud rather get a 404 notice.

Hi sid700 : No problem just click tools in the in Internet Explorer go down the list and click on toolbars list opens un check mark Microsoft Live Search Toolbar. This will dissable bing search. Another way to make things easer for you is just add your email to your favorites when you have your e-mail web-page open is when you want to save it to favorites. This way you are safer on line to search with Bing then using other search engines. You can able disable any tool bars by following same directions. Havefun.

  • Searching from the url address window has stopped working

    If I type a string in the url address bar and touch enter, I now get an error message saying that it's not a valid web address: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." It no longer searches in google for results. I've checked my about:config settings and they seem fine; keyword.url status is "default" and type is "string" with a blank value; for keyword.enabled, the status is "default", type is "boolean", and value is "true".

    Hi,
    You can also check '''browser.search.defaultenginename''' which has to be '''Google''' in this case.
    If problems persist you can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ SearchReset].

  • How to search for the url in a hyperlink.

    Is it possible to search a PDF and find the url in a hyperlink? According to Adobe, no! But is there some third party software?
    We are attempting to find a url in many PDF's but the hyperlink could have many different naming styles. Is there a way to search for something like referral=4320 where that is in the url http://www.example.com?referral=4320&test=1

    If this url is a part of the running text of the PDF (by that I mean that
    you can actually see it in when opening the file), then yes, it's quite
    possible to write a script that will find it.
    If it's a part of a link (meaning it's not visible on the PDF), then it can
    only be achieved with a plugin or an external application.

  • In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

  • Is there a way to prevent Robohelp WebHelp from appending characters to the end of the URL address for a TOC Entry?

    I am running RoboHelp 10 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit OS.
    WebHelp is appending characters to the end of the TOC entry's URL address. The characters "bc-n" where n is a number are being generated for all of the TOC Page Entries when I generate WebHelp output. We are exporting the HTML files for import into an application. The TOC Page Properties Link to: property does not contain the characters in RoboHelp.
    We have standardized names defined for our application and the appended characters are not going to work in the application.
    cid:[email protected]
    When I use the generated html output in IE10 Version 10.0.9200.16635 Update Versions: 10.0.7 (KB2846071) the characters show up in the URL when I hover the mouse over the TOC entry as shown in the screenshot below.
    cid:[email protected]
    The two screenshots show that the Link to property does not have the characters "bc-7" but the URL address does.
    Is there a setting or way to configure RoboHelp to prevent Robohelp WebHelp from generating and appending characters to the end of the URL address for TOC Entries?

    I have never known Rh add any characters so I think something else is at play here. Please open one of the sample projects and see what happens there. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.

  • Why is most of the URL address, except for the domain name, in gray font? It's difficult to read. I would like to make the entire address font in black

    [http://pics.livejournal.com/tersa/pic/006gzfsf Screenshot of the behavior]
    Before I upgraded to Firefox 6.0, the URL address was displayed in black text.
    After upgrading, it is now displaying only the core domain name (e.g, mozilla.com) in black text, while any extra text (like, https://support. ) is grayed out.
    It is very difficult to read this gray text on my monitor. I'd like to make it so that the entire address is displayed in black text, but I couldn't seem to find any kind of configuration setting under Options to change this.
    Please let me know if I can modify the URL display to be all black again.

    That is a new feature in Firefox to highlight the domain in the URL bar. You can change a preference to make the entire URL dark.
    Change a preference:
    #type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.
    #if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)
    #Filter: '''''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''''
    #in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to '''''false'''''
    I am not sure whether or not you need to re-start Firefox after doing the above for the change to take effect. Test and if it does not work, then re-start Firefox and test again.

  • When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

    After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
    The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
    Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

  • How do I get the URL address of a newly uploaded page?

    I'm using the files manager to upload my page to the server
    at school.
    When I'm viewing the page in Dreamweaver and go to Preview In
    Browser it keeps giving me my local folders address, instead of the
    file I uploaded to the server at school. I need to Preview In
    Browser
    the file on the server so I can copy the correct URL and
    send it to my teacher in an email (I need to send him my link to
    view my work).
    What am I doing wrong?
    I can upload to the server because I see my newly uploaded
    files sitting there in the Files manager.
    How do you Preview In Browser the file on the server? I need
    it's URL address.

    Hi guy
    Preview occurs on your local computer...
    Once it'a uploaded to the server, it's too late for
    "Preview".
    Visit the school's website, or contact the school's server
    administrator
    for the URL path to your pages.

  • BUG: Searching for the word "united" in Contacts returns far too many results

    To recreate this bug:
    1. I open the Contacts App on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1.
    2. In the search field within the app, I search for the word "united." (For example, if I am trying to located the address book card for United Airlines).
    3. Instead of showing me just the results of companies/people that have the word "united" in their name or notes field, the app returns almost every single one of my contacts as a search result, EVEN THOUGH THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE WORD "UNITED" IN THEIR NAME, DESCRIPTION, OR NOTES FIELD.
    I think this might be happening because I have used the iOS feature of connecting my Contact App with Facebook.  Because of this, many of my contacts have the word "unified contact info" in their description. Although this doesn't entirely explain why searching for the word "united" would show "unified contact info" contacts, the Facebook/Contacts App connection may have something to do with this bug.
    Regardless, if I search for the word "united" on my iPhone, the Contact App still returns almost every single contact as a search result, even though the word "united" cannot be found within those contacts.

    I think it is because the system adds "United States of America" to every address by default.
    You need to search using different parameters, for example, "Airlines".

  • Podcast doesn't show up on a search for the title or category.  Also, how do I check title, description, keywords, etc?

    I just put up a Podcast for our church.  Now I need to change the image and check the titles.  Also, when I search for The Village Presbyterian Church, Northbrook, IL nothing shows up.  And when I go into the Christianity section my podcast doesn't show.  It all works.  What should I do?

    Please post the iTunes Store URL for your podcast - this was given to you in the email you received when it was accepted, or you can go to the Store and control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the image (or where it should be) and copy the URL; please also post the feed URL.

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507
