Google search no longer working

Google search stopped working this morning. Curios thing is, when select images, the images are returned, and then when you click back to search, the search results are displayed for that search.
Tried safe mode and same behaviour resulted in no search results.
Again click in images, and back to search and results are displayed.
Upgraded to 17.0.1 from 15 something with no results.
Tried bing, it works.
Tried google in IE9, it works.

I can search on Google through the address bar and directly on google, but I can't get to the second page ( or 3rd, 4th, ect) either way. It just greys out the first page like it's about to change, but never does. I tried starting FF17 in safe mode with no add-ons but that didn't help. It's happening on 2 different computers (both windows 7, 1 32bit and 1 64bit). IE and Chrome are fine.
This link works though, and allows me to see multiple pages of search. What exactly is this link, and why does it work? EDIT: I just found out that the link stops Google Instant & Google Suggest.

Since updating to 10.7.4 the 'search' no longer works in Address Book.

Search no longer works in Address Book since I updated the MAC software to 10.7.4.
Is there a 'fix' ?

I'm having the same problem. In addition, not only would the Search feature not work, but while in a view with list on left, card on right, clicking on a contact in the list would not bring up that contact's card on the right. Double clicking on the contact in the list, however, would bring up the card in a separate window.
First, I exported my Address book and saved the Archive to my desktop (Address Book - 07-25-2012.abbu). I then went to the iCloud System Preferences and deselected Address Book, then re-selected it. The test revealed the problem was still there. I then deleted all my cards (I didn't know how to do this except to drag down through all the contacts on the list on the left and hit delete) and the Contacts list was then empty.
I tried File>Import, chose my backup file, and the list of contacts returned, but not the contact cards. Still couldn't search either.
I quit Address Book and from the Go menu in the Finder, selected Go To Folder and pasted in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. This is what I got:
Because the next instruction was Restore the folder that opens from the backup you made before you started, and because no folder opened, I didn't know what to do.
So I went to my desktop, double clicked on the backup file, and got this:
I chose Replace All, and the Contacts List reappeared, but there were still no cards, and Search still didn't work.
So, I think I tried all your suggestions, but I'm back at square one. If you have any other work arounds I would appreciate help in solving this problem.

Upgraded from RH9 to RH11 Search No Longer Working

Hello,
Situation:
               Upgraded several projects from RH9 to RH11
               WebHelp Pro Output
               RoboHelp Server 9
Search no longer works for upgraded RH11 projects. No matter the topic or keyword entered, results are zero.
Search works on RH9 projects.
I looked through forums for similar situations, I didn't find any for RH11. Some solutions for RH10 said to verify the whfts file included all the xml packages and the RH11 output does. Others had to do with settings in WebHelp but couldn't find anything specific to WebHelp Pro.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Julie

Update...it seems the fact that I am publishing to RH Server 9 is the problem. I received word from Adobe tech support:
"We have fixed that issue and soon we are releasing the patch for RHS 9 to support RH 11."
The expected patch is expected to be delivered by end of March 2014.
Thanks for all who helped.

Google search does not work. It does not bring back any results and disables my internet connection until I close the brower, wait, and then open it again.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

I can't get the Google Search App to work.

My Google Search App was working fine on my iPad mini. Then I installed Chrome and didn't synch it right off the bat. Chrome works fine but now Google Search App won't let me log in or work. I've tried deleting it/reinstalling it and rebooting my iPad mini. What else should I try?

Shut down and restart the app...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete the offending app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the app

I updated to Firefox 3.6.8 and now I get an anycolor start page that keeps popping up and my google toolbar search no longer works.

Ever since updating to 3.6.8 I open firefox and get two tabs. One for my homepage and one which is an "Anycolor start page". Hugely annoying and can't stop the 2nd tab from popping up every time I start Firefox. Also my google toolbar search function no longer works. Type in a search and hit enter and nothing happens.

I have exactly the same problem. I entered Firefox in safe mode and deleted AnyColor from my addons. But now when I click on the addon button this is what I get:
"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623"
But nothing happens and I have to reboot my computer because it freezes on this message. Damn, I wish I had not upgraded to Firefox 3.6.8
Somebody please help! Thanks

Norton safe search no longer works with google search

Once I updated to Firefox 31 Norton Safe Search icons no longer appear next to Google search results! They worked fine before. They work if I use a different search engine (such as Ask). They work fine with other browsers such as IE11 and Chrome. Only Firefox 31 has a problem! Note that I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and Norton Internet Security, and all my software and hardware is completely up-to-date with latest versions and patches (I'm an IT professional).

That's ok. I've since checked it out on another Windows 8.1 machine and the same thing. Norton worked properly with 30 and as soon as I upgraded to 31 the "N" disappeared from Google and other searches. I ran all Norton and Windows updates, still no good. That makes 3 machines. Mozilla needs to fix this or else I'll stop using Firefox since the Norton feature is essential.

Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

Hello Apple Forums,
I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
Cleared the following caches:
System Local Computer Cache
System VM (Swap) Files
Curent User Cache
Current User Icon Cache
Internet Explorer Download Cache
Page History
Web Site Cache
Temporary Files
Safari Downloads List
Form Values
Page History
Recent Searches
Site Icons
Web Site Cache
User Cookies (used by Safari)
Finder Recent Applications
Recent Documents
Recent Folders
Recent Servers
Recent Files of AppleWorks 6
Disk Utility Disk Images
Preview
QuickTime Player Favorites/Recent
REALbasic Projects
TextEdit
VideoLanClient
and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads
Acquisition Recent Searches
MSN Conversation History
Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
What I have not done:
Updated Prebinding
Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
To Summarize Possible Solution
I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
Hope It Helps!

Hello tr:
Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

Sites using TALEO for job searches no longer works in 19, worked in last official 18 release

Company websites which use the TALEO job search/apply app/site, no longer work right in 19, they worked fine in 18.xx. Specially, the job search function does not work right when entering the TALEO job search parameters then hitting SEARCH FOR JOB does nothing. AN example site (which does not require registration) is https://nielsen.taleo.net/careersection/3/jobsearch.ftl?lang=en. If I make selections for JOB FIELD and/or LOCATIOn then hit SEARCH FOR JOB, nothing happends. Sites using TALEO worked fine in the last offical 18.x release. TALEO worksd fine in IE 7&Chrome 25.
Clearing the cache does not change behavior. Finally did a full FF reset--no change.
WIN XP SP3 | Dell Dimension 4600 | 1.2 G RAM

I am running Firefox version 19.0.2 and I have the same problem. I am able to filter using Internet Explorer which I really don't like. Rather than users having to figure out why this isn't working either Taleo needs to fix their scripts or a fix needs to happen in Firefox.

Google chrome no longer working properly after 10.9 upgrade

Why is Google Toolbar no longer working? Same for using Gmail.

Last night, I updated two add-ons (one of them was Personas, but I forget the other). Immediately after, I kept getting a stop script error. Then Google Toolbar just stopped working. The buttons disappeared or stopped working, as did the search bar. I uninstalled it and went to bed. This morning, I tried to open an e-mail in Gmail (like I've always been able to do) by clicking the mailto link, and nothing comes up. I checked and my setting is correct in the Applications tab of Firefox.
Does anyone know what's going on? I also should add that a couple of days ago, I updated Java as well. But this problem didn't come up right away. Running in safe mode and trying mailto links again does not solve the problem.

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]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Google search does not work from comcast home page

When I try to do a google search from the comcast home page, I keep getting a timeout error. However, google searches work everywhere, but the comcast home page.

Then as i mentioned in one of previous reply, ask about this problem from the Comcast Techincal Support. They will know what's changed on their website.
OR for further testing, Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
-> [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile|Basic Troubleshooting - Make a New Profile]]
-> Set Comcast's website as your homepage in the New Profile.
IF that New Profile works then you can recover your Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.
-> [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
Check and tell if its working.

Updated to Firefox 11 - why have Google search suggestions stopped working?

Since updating to Firefox 11, when I search in the Search bar, no suggestions (other than my past searches) come up like they used to. Searching directly from the Google.com page still works.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Please check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile]. If the new profile is okay, you can later [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy the needed personal data] from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder another location (profile folder)] separate from its [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory files/folder]. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings ('''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window '''Options'''], and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] ), and usually would also be empty of any '''Extensions''' and themes ('''Appearance''') in Tools > Add-ons) and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc., ('''Tools''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History '''Clear Recent History''']).

Email search no longer works

With the latest change of the email layout, besides being more cumbersome to use, searching doesn't work anymore. It does not retrieve all the instances of the search term. I tried the from name and the actual from email address and only 1 instance was returned, when there were several of them in my inbox. I need to do this to clear out my email, as I do not use verizon email to read my emai, it is just too annoying. But I need to clear it out periodically as I don't have my email pgm delete them), and now that will take much more manual effort.
Plus it is ridiculous to put web search and email search together, it's too easy to click the web button instead of the mail button

Never mind - I figured it out. I still think the web button should be removed though.

TV listing search no longer working correctly

Has anyone else noticed that the TV listing search doesn't work correctly? For example, if I'm looking for a football game with a team I want to watch (e.g. Penn State), no matches come up. The only way to find the game is to look for "College Football" and then read the descriptions for each game.
Very annoying. Anyone else have this issue?

I have found the exact issue you have stated regarding the Penn State games. Try searching for Nittany for the search word instead of Penn State - this has worked for me.
I agree there are many weaknesses in the FiOS search algorithm including not listing the HD version during search
