Google Search- How to turn off search suggestions

Hi,
Is there a way to "turn off" "search suggestions" in the search field. As I find it quite annoying when I type then move the mouse and something else gets selected other than what I typed.
Thanks
Safari 4.05

Hi Bill
Easiest way to eliminate the Google "help" search prompts is to install 3rd party freeware Glims. Latest version build is available here.
Once installed you'll find Glims as a separate panel in your Safari Preferences. If it doesn't appear in the panel list, click on the right pointing arrows at the end of the Preference Panels.
Glims provides a number of very useful features for Safari. Specific to your needs, go to Glims' search suggestions sub-panel. There, you can deselect the "auto complete phrase in the search field". Additionally, Glims provides a very helpful search drop down panel for quick access to searches.
There's more to discover with Glims. Clicking on the various sub-panels will reveal other features, including specific search engine options.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar?

How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar? the drop down boxes are really starting to annoy me!

You can't turn off the suggestions in Safari, though you may be able to do that if you install Glims, which also offers some additional options that aren't available directly in Safari.
Quit Safari before you install it, then restart and go to Preferences>Glims to setup your options.
As for drop-down boxes, what exactly are you referring to?

Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search, Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search

Not matter what I try, including turning off "Search Engine Suggestions and Preload Top Hits", when I start to type in the Safari/Google search bar, it pulls up "Top Hits and Bookmarks and History"
Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?

There is no way to turn off all suggestions when you type, unless you're using Private Browsing mode.
The "Search Engine Suggestions" only disables sending what you type to the selected search engine (Google, Bing, etc.). It does not prevent Safari from providing suggestions based on your browsing history and your bookmarks stored locally on disk.
To enable Private Browsing mode, tap the address view, then tap "Private" button on top of the keyboard. After enabling Private Browsing, no more suggestions will be listed from history or bookmarks, and if "Search Engine Suggestions" are off, then nothing should be listed.

How do you turn off search history completely forever (not clear)?

When I open up Safari and visit Google.com and start typing, previous searches appear in a list below the search box. The last item on the search box is a link that says, "Clear History". When I click that it says, "Click OK to clear the following searches from history:"
homemade receipes for PF Chang
cure for explosive diarrhea
define Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
transfering to another school
Go to preferences for more options.
I go to preferences and nothing happens! Why doesn't it take me to the settings I need? I guess the technology isn't possible yet. When that day comes please tell me how to turn off this setting forever. Thanks.

You can use private browsing in safari When the safari app is open at the bottom left corner tap on the two square icons and after to the left you should see private. Turn this on and no history is saved

How to turn off automatic variable code suggest for a single page?

Does anyone know how to turn off the code assist feature where CFBuilder tries to assist you by listing all the variables on the page? I have a CFC with over 3000 lines and it causes CFBuilder to hang/freeze like you wouldn't believe. I'd like to turn off this feature for large files (or at least see if I can tune the feature to be smarter about what variables it suggests).
Does anyone know how to disable this feature on a specific template or turn this feature off altogether? Note: I do want to keep the tag attribute suggestion if possible.

Update: I tried using CFBuilder as a plugin for Eclipse (64 bit) and then followed the steps here: CFBuilder 2 Performance Problems on Windows 7 64-bit Solved » websolete.
So far I have experienced noticeably faster response times. However, the program still hangs when trying to suggest variable names. It would be great if there was a way just to disable that feature until Adobe fixes it.

How to turn OFF Smart Address feature in Mail in iOS?

You seem to have found the right setting. From my notes:
Add the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/search/webapp/config/search.properties and then restart oc4j:
ses.qapp.similar_doc_handling=disabled
Maybe you didn't restart oc4j (using "searchctl restart")?

Safari and webmail email alerts - how to turn off?

One of the webmails I use has annoying feature - it alerts me with every incoming email. Safari icon starts to jump at the Dock and a small window appears telling me that I have email!
I have searched my webmail settings but there is no way to turn it off. So there should be one at the Safari or Mac settings but I did not find anything there either! I have turned off pop-ups but apparently this small "thing" that appears is not considered a pop-up.
Can anyone help me how to turn off this distraction?
Sasha
P.S. My Mac is iMac Intel and Safari is 2.0.4

There is an option under Preferences > Auto-Correction to "Automatically detect email and web addresses." You want that one unchecked. There is also a link inspector, second from the right, with options to enable hyperlinks or make all hyperlinks inactive. Seems contradictory to me & I've found that if a document already has some linked text, changing these preferences doesn't change the existing links. And, if you paste in something with a link the link will still be active.

How to turn off Nokia 109

How to turn off the mobile phone nokia 109 ?
Moderator's note: The subject was edited so other users can easily search for the same topic.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well there is a difference between removing the battery directly and turning the phone off normally.
When you directly remove the battery, the caller will be notified with "not reachable" and when you turn off the phone by pressing turn off key, the caller will be notified with "Switched off".
Removing the battery is same as going to location with no network!
When you turn off the phone,
The phone tells the network that I'm turning off.
and when you pull the battery out without turning the phone off and when the somebody tries to call you, the network searches for the phone for sometime and says "not reachable".

How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

Chief:
Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
This comes from Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
InDesign tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
Holding the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
- Mike Rankin
(Mike had suggests this several times in the past year, though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over on
InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
Basically the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.

HT4623 How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry

I recently bought Iphone 4s. I like the phone as such but one thing that I want to change is tap display while entering the passcode on lock screen. I don't want to see which keys I am entering as this can put my phone on risk as anyone close to me can see what keys I had pressed to unlock the phone.
Please help to let me know "How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry" on locked screen.
Thanks for the answers and suggestion.

This cannot be done. You should simply hide the display from others' view.
iPhone 5S allows you to use your fingerprint instead of the passcode.

How to turn off phone keypad beeps?

I've got a 3GS/3.1. I can't figure out how to turn off the phone keypad beeps. Under settings/sounds I've turned off keyboard clicks, but the phone keypad still beeps. Any suggestions?

Did you ever get an answer to this question about you not being able to silent your keypad (ten key) tones on your Iphone? I am having this same issue, my boyfriend and i compared our settings and set them exactly the same. His keys are silent, my beep with each one I touch. I can't stand this? Did you ever get it resolved?
Thanks
Renea
