Google quick search box

I lost the google quick search box from the screen of my droid and I am unable to locate the correct app. Also, someone told me about an amp to scan items and it then gives you a list of stores and which is the better buy.

Right... the original Google Search widget is just called "Search"
The new enhanced widget that comes with Froyo is called "Google Search"
As long as you're running 2.2 you should now see both under widgets.

Just a couple of weeks ago it found me a new Linksys wireless router on sale locally at Radio Shack (a one day only sale) for about $45 instead of Best Buy where I happened to be standing at the time, they wanted about $75 for the exact same model.

How do I enable The Google Quick Search Box feature?

The Google Quick Search Box on the toolbar no longer will search when entered. The search request registers but won't search. I have to go to Google.com in order to use the Google search engine. The quick search was handy and I'd like to have it back. Per Google I need to enable it by clicking on the "wrench", search and enable... but it's not there to enable. HELP!

You can also access the Google Toolbar Options thru Tools > Addons > Extensions - Google Toolbar for Firefox & then right-click that extension and click on Options.

How do I safely download google quick search box?

Can anyone tell me, how do I safely download Google Quick Search Box?

I'd likely use Spotlight or the google widget in Dashboard, although I usually stick with highlighting a word to search for, then ctrl-click & pick 'search with google'.
QSB development seems to have ceased in 2010, and it was still 'beta' software then.
http://www.alfredapp.com/ seems popular with some, and is in the app store.

Quick Search box in Safari 6.0

My safari 6.0 browser used to have the google quick search box on the right side and it had disappeared. does anyone know how to get it back?

Thank you. I just tested that out and it did do the google search. however, i believe the way it used to work was that when you put in a search in the box on the right, it opened a new tab automatically. Now, I need to hit the plus to open a new tab before doing the search. do you know what the setting is to open a new tab with a new search? Thanks a lot and you did solve my initial question.

Adobe Reader X leaks GDI handles in quick search box

Just installed Adobe Reader X a couple of days ago (Windows 7, x64). I used it for numerous online documents (in Firefox), while searching for some specific terms in each document. After a while the reader presented a strange picture, not properly painting itself anymore. Then, the reader became unresponsive, and Firefox too, and I had to kill the task.
This happened a few times on different pdf documents.
In my programming career things like these have happened more often so, when the behavior happened again, I went checking the process using Windows Task Manager, adding a few extra columns (Handles, User Objects, GDI Objects) and found that the number of GDI objects was nearly 10000, the absolute limit that Windows imposes on any single process.
I went on checking the reader, now standalone and without Firefox, to see if the problem would persist. Opened a few pdfs and scrolled back and forth. No problems -
tried the same in Firefox to see if the plugin was OK - still no problem.
Then started using the quick search box (Ctrl-F) and repeatedly looked for something trivial (e.g. just a single letter A) - Bingo! Now the GDI handle count starts rising seriously, and does not come back to the original level.
This is definitely a leak, and it needs to be fixed.

We don't process bug reports via these forums - please post any details of unexpected behaviors to the official reporting form.

Grey Quick Search box does not go away

I have a 5G iPod Video that I just updated to 1.2, now when I am in list of albums or songs the quick search box appears showing the letters as you scroll, but it doesn't go away after I have made my selection. The gray box just stays on top of what ever is being displayed behind it (song info, album art, etc). In only goes away when I turn the iPod off.
anyone else having this issue?

Come on guys....!!Any one here to answer or any one knows about it?

I am trying to reduce the length of the google navigation & search boxes without any succuss. This has been asked numerious times on the site but no answer fixes the problem. I can change the size by using the line that seperates the two boxes but I only

I added a personna 6/25/10, wanted to shorten the google navigation & search bars to see it but can't. Have re-installed the google tool bar, have selected the firefox tool bar version as my default and can then change the width but when one box gets shorter the other gets longer still filling the width of the screen. Customize tool bar doesn't give any options to shorten the tool bar width, I'm at a total loss. Would love suggestions if you've successfully fixed this.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 6-25-10

The location bar and search bar have a flex property and take all available space.
You can only change the relative size of both with that resizer between the two bars.
You can only do that by adding a lot of Space elements in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
You can set a fixed width by setting the min-width and max-width to the same value.

You can chose your own values as long as the min-width and max-width for each bar have the same value.

How can I prevent firefox from displaying an overall black page after I request a topic search in the google/firefox search box? Not able to see results

I loaded Mozilla v31 on my PC laptop which uses Windows XP operating system with all current updates. When I click on my internet icon, it leads me to the Mozilla page with a Google search bar. Once I type a topic in and click for the search to begin, the Firefox page turns all black and I am not able to see any results or action being taken. I click on the back arrow and enter a new topic, and click on search button, it repeats the same behavior and the Firefox page turns black. Essentially Mozilla Firefox is not a usable browser unless I can fix it. Help!

When this happens, has the address bar changed to a google.com address or is it still blank?
Some graphical glitches are caused by an incompatibility between Firefox and your graphics card drivers. The standard workaround for bypassing this is to disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration. You can make that change here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That will take effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.
More generally:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

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.

My homepage is Google but the logo and search box seems higher on the page than normal...can I adjust the position?

I had to set the settings on Google to Do Not Use Google Instant in their search settings as no cursor was showing on the google search box. After the change it seems that the Google logo and search box seems higher on the Firefox page. I would like to be able to adjust the height of the Google logo/search box. Please tell me if I can make that adjustment.

Thank you for the information about the zoom feature on Firefox. I had found that under the View menu (although I did find it was a temporary fix and the Tools/Options/Font method does change it for a "stick") and changing the font size does increase the size and enlarges or "moves" the logo and search box on Google but that also increases the font size displayed in the search screen. I was hoping to find a way to move the Google logo and search box down on the home page a bit but not change the font size but realize that may be too fine of an adjustment. The zoom feature added to the toolbar via customization may be a good solution for me. Thank you again for your helpfulness.

How do I disable/uninstall "Quick Search" in Status Bar?

I want to disable/uninstall the "Quick Search" box that pops up in my Status Bar in Firefox 23.0.1 Right now I'm having an issue with an "erratic cursor" (Windows 8...YUCK!!!!). I start typing in the address bar in a new tab, or in Google search bar, and my cursor floats all over the screen without my knowledge. In the middle of typing my search, the cursor will somehow "trigger" the "Quick Search" box, and suddenly, my words end up being typed there. I found out that this "erratic cursor" is a documented issue with the Lenovo G585 laptop, and until I find out how to fix it, I REALLY want to stop "Quick Search" from opening unless I ask it to open.

Why can't I type in any search boxes in firefox 3.6.12 on Windows 7 HP.

For the last several days, I cannot type a search term into the Google toolbar Search box, the Firefox search box, the Yahoo tool bar search box, or the address bar. When I click search, then a new page opens in a new tab in Google (this is my default search provider. I do NOT have this problem with the search boxes in IE 8. I am using a new Toshiba Satellite L675 with 4 GB RAM and an AMD Phenom dual core processor. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium for 64 bit computers. I have tried changing the option settings in Firefox and toolbar options. I am not sure what to do next because I do not know precisely what is causing the problem. My anti-virus is MSE and shows no viruses; Zone Alarm free Firewall shows no breaches; Antimalware Bytes Antimalware shows no problems, and neither does Super Anti-Spyware or Spybot. In short, my computer is clean. Please help! Also, for quite a while now, when I type a long entry in Firefox, it slows down and crashes due to a script error, which is not always displayed with an option to stop running the script. It is not the same script every time, and shutting down and restarting Firefox usually solves the problem. This problem also occurred in the last several versions of Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
This issue can be caused by the Personas 1.6.0 extension. If you have it then update to Personas 1.6.1

Can i insert 'mozilla firefox start page' onto my toolbar instead of the standard google on the search box

I'm having problems like a lot of others with Google as it has removed it's 'UK only' button from it's home/search screen. I prefer the Google Mozilla Firefox Start Page as it gives me the options I need. On the Firefox toolbar search box, which drops down to give search engine options, can I link the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to this box? Thankyou.

Look here for additional Google search engines: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/google.html (no country redirect)

Google searchbar does not load page from search box dropdown list?

When i type a Google search using my search box from Google toolbar, the results show up in the drop down box, but when i click on desired search to see results and load Google page nothing happens and whatever i was typing in search bar remains in tact, usually in incomplete form. The Google search box on top next to the address bar to right works fine but i prefer to use the Google Toolbar search i have always used. The same thing is happening on my other computer that i upgraded to FF 4.0 so this must be a glitch or bug in new version??

Strange things still go on.
I disabled instant search results and now the google search window refreshes constantly.
I cannot even revert to enable instant search because the google settings refresh too quickly to do the change.
That is really weird and I do not know how to get FF back to working correctly now.
