Google Search from Within Safari

I was wondering if there was a way to turn ON Search when entering info in the google search box (not URL) within Safari. Like in Firefox it will give you searches based on your spelling. I want it like that in Safari. Any ideas?
Thanks.

If you mean suggestions as you type in the search bar, then the closest I can match is a plugin called Inquisitor (inquisitorx.com).

Google Search Field in Safari

Is it possible to change the Google Search Field within a Safari browser to be specific to the country you live in? Eg. I want mine to be a Google AU search field as opposed to just Google.
Thanks.

If you want to fix your Google search to Google Australia, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:

which not only does that but also much more equally useful stuff!
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).

It uses Safari. But I want to use Chrome (it's my default browser).

Typing Postcode In Google Search Box Locked Safari!

Last night my wife was addressing an envelope, but the name of the road she had been given was somewhat illegible so I typed the Postcode into the Google search box to find out the exact name.
To my surprise, an "error" page appeared saying that it appeared that my computer was trying to do something illegal . . . . . . . it might have a virus or spyware . . . . . . . or might be sending off some of these multiple messages (I can't remember the precise wording).
I was given one of those boxes with funny shaped characters to copy in order to unlock my internet connection.
Out of curiosity I tried another postcode, with the same result.
However, this time, typing the strange characters did not work, but I was able to unlock my connection by deleting the Google cookies from my Safari preferences.
This morning I tried again, partly in order to copy the exact wording of the message, but try what I might, I couldn't get the error message.
Every time I typed in a Postcode, a map of the appropriate road quickly appeared just as normal!
Any idea what was going on? Has it happened to you? Do I need to be concerned?

Hi Ian...
It's not a virus. They probably want you to purchase security software. Nothing to be concerned about.
Also, if that happens again, besides deleting cookies, from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to *Other forms*
Delete all Google related url's.
Quit Safari then relaunch Safari.

Print a pdf from within Safari.

SORRY, will repost in safari for Mac
Hi
If I print pdf files from within Safari 4, the text does not print at all, only lines, tables and boxes.
If i save the same pdf file to the hard drive and open it with Adobe Reader, it prints perfectly. Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
I am using SL, and a Lexmark c522 if it helps.
Thanks
Dave

Just doublechecking. Are other PDFs currently printing properly for you, George? (Say, if you're printing them directly from your Reader as opposed to printing them through Safari's Adobe PDF plugin?)

As of this morning, I am being redirected to uk.gomeo when i click on google search results in Safari. Do I have a virus?

Hi,
First time poster and very non-techy person here. I am being redirected to urls starting "uk.gomeo..." when clicking on Google search results in Safari. Quick search on this seems to suggest I have a virus. Not sure what to do or how to get rid of it. Not sure what could have caused it either. Downloaded Acrobat update couple of days ago which took hours, and Twitter account was hacked about a week ago. All software updates up to date. Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry editing that way doesn't work anymore in Lion. But you can look and see if there are any google entries in it. If there are not any google entries you can ignore my posts. If there are try this:
Open terminal
sudo nano /etc/hosts
When prompted for the sudo password - The correct password is your own (the password of the user logged into OS X, also the password you provide when doing system updates and so on).
now you can delete the line(s) that contain google and save.
Using your arrow keys go to the line containing google. Delete the line. Do the same for all lines containig google.
if you have a problem deleting, do a control-x to exit, and reply n to the modified buffer question. To save your changes do a control-o and hit enter , then do a control-x to quit.
Note: normally you never edit the hosts file, but if you see google entries in it then a malware programs has added them. It has been happening with a bogus flash update, that installs flash and asks for your system password. SOmething that seem quite normal when installing software. This bogus flash update makes the hosts modifications adding their own IP adrress for google.

How to delete google search history in safari on itouch ?

Hi All !
I would like to know how I can delete the google search history in safari?
Thanks

I just found the answer somewhere else in the forum - it worked for me.
Clear it while in Safari by going to bookmarks, then "History," and then the "Clear" button in the bottom left.

Unable to print from within safari, documents are blank.

When I try to print a PDF document from within Safari the pages are blank. I can print directly from Reader.

As I recall, there were two separate updates for AppleWorks, one for OS 9 and one for OS X. You should make sure that you have the proper one. For OS X, the version should be 6.2.9. I am not sure if that will help you, but a proper installation is always a good idea. You might want to ask in the AppleWorks forum, if that does not solve the problem.
Oh, and check your fonts. Some fonts that worked with OS 9 cause problems with OS X.

Openening pdf in iBooks from within Safari

After installing IOS5, I am not able anymore to open a pdf-file, which I opened in the Safari webbrowser,
in IBooks.
In IOS4 I used this a lot, but this does not seem to work anymore!
Anybody having the same trouble?
And even better: anybody having a solution to this?

I have found and tested 2 workarounds for this problem:
1)
Send the pdf as an attachment to an email to yourself.
From within the email app on the iPad2 you can then point to this pdf in the received email,
and open it within iBooks ! (as should have also possible from within Safari ... )
2)
Another, even better workaround:
- install Opera Mini webbrowser on the iPad
- copy URL of the pdf to URL-field of Opera Mini webbrowser
(for example: arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2260v1)
and click "GO"
- this loads the requested pdf IN THE SAFARI WEBBROWSER (!!),
but with a different URL,
in this example with the URL
http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-mini.net/hz47-01/24015/0/-1/arxiv.org/1110.pdf
- Now you open the pdf in iBooks from within Safari as usual !!
Hope this helps, although I would like a better solution,
such that the original functionality of openening documents in iBooks from within Safari is restored !
Jan Bours
- installeer Opera Mini (webbrowser)
- kopieer de URL van de pdf in URL veld van Opera Mini en laad de pdf
(bv arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2260v1)
- toets op "Go", dan wordt de pdf geladen IN DE SAFARI BROWSER !!!!!
Maar dan wel met een andere URL, in dit voorbeeld met URL
http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-mini.net/hz47-01/24015/0/-1/arxiv.org/1110.pdf
- aantikken van het scherm geeft rechtboven in scherm zoals altijd
de mogelijkheden "Open in iBooks", of "Open Met ...",
die allebei inderdaad de pdf in iBooks kunnen openen !!!!!

Firefox(20.0.1) is ignoring my proxy server for google searches from website and the search box. It works for all other search engines and chrome/safari.

firefox(20.0.1)
squid (port 3128) and dansguardian (port 8080) not running in transparent mode.
I am applying blacklists and a custom url regex to apply "safe=vss", this works for all browsers and all search engines except firefox using google search engine.
Search engines tested (bing, yahoo, norton, ask, amazon, avg, ebay) - all work.
Links from the search results are blocked by content filter, but search results still appear and google images are still shown. This does not happen in Chrome(23.0.1271.97), IE9(9.0.8), Opera(12.14) or Safari(5.1.7) with the same settings.
No log entry appears in Dansguardian access.log implying proxy settings are being ignored for just this combination.

I can't think of a reason that one particular webpage would behave differently from all the others, i.e., if you are starting at google.com and running a search using the form in the page, I'm not aware of any reason for Firefox to handle that specially just because it's Google.
Does it make a difference if you disable JavaScript when using Google? If that yields the results you expect, perhaps Google's XMLHttpRequest AJAX traffic is bypassing your filters?
The search bar has its own code, so someone would need to look at that to see whether/why it bypasses your proxy if the above hypothesis does not apply.

Can't go back to original Google search page in Safari 5.0.2 update

A couple of days ago updated Safari to 5.0.2. I used to do a Google search, advance thru a few pages, on a link, and then click the "return" arrow in the Google box, top right, and would be returned to my "original" search page. In the Safari 5.0.2, the "return arrow" isn't there anymore. Where is it?? Very annoying, requiring more entries now to get back to my "original" search. Did Apple remove this or is it just turned off. Thanks!,

Don't know what that is. There used to be an arrow in the google box at top right that aloud me to go back to the original page. But now if I search google from the bookmarks bar.. no arrow appears. So, what is the Snap Back from the extensions gallery??

How Do I Change Google Search Results in Safari 3.1?

I travel a lot. Currently I'm in India. When I was using Safari 3.0, the Google Search Bar search results were always from google.com. Now that I've upgraded to 3.1, the search results are from google.co.in.
How do I get the search bar to give me .com results again?

Unless they've changed it in the past year, the auto-complete on Inquisitor was a deal-breaker. It kept on completing words that I didn't want to type.
Inquisitor has changed a lot over the past year. I used to use AcidSearch. This has it beat hands down.
Unless directed otherwise, I believe Google adapts the search function to your location based on the IP. Hence, the "Indian search".
Back to Inquisitor, one picture is worth a thousand words.

Dead Google Search Links in Safari

After making a Google search, I hit the 'back' button, only to find all of the links on the page frozen. This happens ALL the time in my Safari Google searches. Is anybody experiencing a similar issue?
For example:
1) I search "Martin Luther King" in Google (typing into the Google search box in the Safari toolbar).
2) Google shows the search results.
3) I click on an item to read it.
4) After reading the article, I hit the 'back' button to return to my search.
5) None of the search results are clickable. They're all dead. Not a single link on the page works. (Control-click does nothing, either)
This happens on a daily basis, with nearly all of my Google searches.
I have done many re-sets of Safari caches, etc. This incredibly frustrating problem continues.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

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 language in safari

Hi all
Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the language of google search in safari, when using the toolbar in the corner.
I would like to switch from english to german. Does anbody have an idea?

Have you gone to the gear wheel at the top right of the Google page and adjusted your Search Settings/Language appropriately?
As much as you may prefer Safari, it does lack some features that other browsers have.
