Google Search box

hi all.. anyone know how to not save recent searches in the google search box.. Next to the magnifying glass there is a down arrow that shows recent searches when you click it.
thanks for any input.

yes, but remember that google itself saves your searches. You can log in and review those searches and they are saved even if you use private browsing to prevent them being saved in safari.

PROBLEM WITH AUTO POPULATE IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH BOX

When I type in the google search box it auto populates search terms as it always has. However since upgrading to FF4 when I click on the one I want to go to ... nothing happens. I have to type the full search every time. I don't see this issue anywhere in the forum, am I the only one having this problem?

How Firefox is opened should not matter.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Open your '''Add-ons Manager <Control><Shift > A''' and make sure you
know what each one is and what it does.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

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.

Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.
This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

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.

Yesterday an extra Google Search Box was placed in the body of one of my home pages. Cannot get rid of it.

I use Firefox as my reading browser and sometime ago stumbled upon a method to make the most visited sites readily available by having photos of their sites as a supplemental home page. Yesterday a large Google Search box was added at the top of that page that I neither want nor need. I search from the address bar. Always have. I've done everything recommended to reset the home page and nothing seems to work. How do I get rid of that space hogging search field (it reduced the size of the 9 site photos that formerly occupied that page;I just click on the page to open a site). I captured a screen shot, but it seems to be awfully large. Can I get rid of it? It just showed up yesterday.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:

When i click on firefox, i get a page that does not show my google search box, how do i acces it?

there is a red page in the way of google search box.
how do you get rid of the red page, and just go back to the google search box?

If you key into the location bar ''about:home'' that will open the homepage with the google search bar in the Center of it.
If that has a red box in front of it please take a screenshot of it and post it n your next message
* see [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
If the page looks ok then set that as your normal homepage as explained in this article:
*[[How to set the home page]]

When using the Google search box in the upper right corner, midway through typing the search subject, Firefox switches to the Yahoo search box in the middle of the screen. This is very annoying and happens on both home and work computers.

Seems like Yahoo is the new Firefox default browser.

Then why not get rid of the Google search box if it's not going to work?

What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad? I have no problems accessing it from my laptop. Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble. However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

How do I stop the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
How do I fix?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

How to enlarge google search box

When I open up the firefox page, the google search box is much smaller than what I prefer it to be. How can I enlarge the google search box?

Which page is that?<br />
Is that the www.google.com/firefox page?<br />
How many characters can you type in that input field?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

Clearing individual entries from Google search box

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to clear individual entries from the Google search box history using Safari. I know how to clear the entire list, but what I want is to keep some entries but not others. On IE and Firefox this is done by highlighting the entry and pressing Delete or Shift-Delete, but I've tried various permutations of these with Safari and none seem to work. Any help much appreciated - many thanks.

Hi Richard,
Your recent search items are located in the 'RecentSearchStrings' array within com.apple.Safari.plist. It's a file located in ~/Library/Preferences/, where the ~ is your user home folder. Note, if you wish to edit this file within OS X, you will require the Property List Editor which comes as part of Developer Tools (it's on your OS X installation CD as an optional installation).
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can put together a neat command you can issue in the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/) which will serve the same purpose.

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 <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> 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.

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]

Cursor focus is changed to address bar instead of google search box on new tabs in FF 17.

I've seen several threads that describe the same issue - the cursor appears in the address bar by default on a new tab. I have not seen a single solution. Mozilla needs to sort this out because it's very annoying.
This started happening only after I updated to FF 17. Until that point the cursor was in the google search box. It was just a FF update, no new extensions or add-ons. The only workaround I have is the Custom New Tab extension.
I just don't want to have to install new extensions to add functionality every time they update to a new version that creates new issues. FF already lacks some basic tab management functionality which forces me to use extensions s.a Tab Utilities. It's been 17 versions already and FF still doesn't let me set up new tabs from Bookmarks, Address bar, etc, or multi-row tabs / bookmarks, new tab position / focus, right-click menu options, etc etc etc. Just don't make it worse guys.

Why is the default behavior designed to behave that way? That is very annoying and many people have complained about this.
For years the cursor in a new window or new tab would go to the first text menu like for me in the Google search box. This was always the way in Firefox till I started using 17.0.1 in Windows 7.
It seems like this could be addressed and I doubt this was suppose to be the default behavior.
It is actually one of the most annoying things about Firefox now, as this was something I use to do alot was start a new tab and start typing my search right away or just hit ctrl-v to paste something I'd just copied. Now that goes in the address bar and makes me spend more time fixing the bad address and stupid search results from that.
Please someone give us a solution.
