Google search not working

From about 5 days ago I noticed, that Google search (default in Safari) does not work or takes ages to display any results (up to 1 min). I tried to restart/empty cache but without any improvements.
For now I installed Glimps to be able to do any search using Yahoo. I do actually have problems to log in to Google.com as well.
Anyone experiencing similar issues?
Cheers, Mike

HI Mike,
Try maintenance..
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.
And go to ~/Library>Caches>com.apple.Safari folder. Move this file to the Trash. "Cache db"
Restart your Mac.

Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) not working in 5.1

Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) is not working after I upgraded Safari to 5.1

Has anybody figured a way of restoring this?
Not broken here, still working fine as always. Have you tried repairing permissions or creating a new user account and seeing if the problem persists there? It's an issue with your install, as a guess. Working fine on all the Mac's around here with Safari 4.04

Why does Google Search not work with FF14.0.1?

When I use Google Search, no matter what I type in, this is all that shows up:

If I use Google Images, the search results and suggestions will show up:
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/emerald_typhoon/Example2.jpg
If I click on Search along the top to go back to search after using Images, the web results will be displayed. I'm not sure what's wrong, as it only does it with Fire Fox. I've checked with other browsers, and Google still works with them. Does anyone have any idea what could be doing this?

Google is NOT WORKING with Firefox 3.6.8, you can type in & Search but clicking on next is a dead link; does nothing?

Google is NOT working on Firefox 3.6.8, suddenly today. You can type in search and get results on initial page. Clicking on 'next' link or any number links is dead. Yahoo & Bing seem to work. I do not have a Google toolbar. Very frustrating. This suddenly happened today. Please check into it.

HT4995 My location service on Google does not work and nothing is getting saved in my history bookmark

My location service on Google does not work. It will not bring up my location. Also nothing is getting saved in my history folder in my bookmark.

I have the same issue, I think. If I open Safari and search Walmart (google is my default search) it doesn't give me location results, and there is a little button at the top that says 'Use Precise Location.' If I tap that button nothing happens. Very frustrating. I've checked all my settings against my wife's iPhone, and my iPad, both of which work, and I can't find anything different.

Search not working on Task Description

Hi,
I am facing a strange scenario with search not working on Task Description for a particular task item. This task item has around 18 versions of itself within it.
I tried replicating the same scenario in our Test environment with following changes in the task item description:
1. Copied the task list over to Test environment.
2. Deleted all the versions of this task and put a single line description as.
3. Initiated full crawl and search results with task description were
coming up fine.
4. Made few more versions : 5 Versions and again initiated full craw. Search results are fine.
5. Made few more versions this time and again a FULL crawl, but now NO results with this task description.
So, my question here is that is there any limit by MS for multiline text limit or version limit which prevents the task description from coming up in search results.
This task description as multiple line text with links to other lists/libraries and user names who created the versions in this task item. We are not using FAST search.

I found the answer elsewhere on the forum:
Somehow the main drive was added to the privacy list in Spotlight. Search is working fine now that I've removed it.

Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
More info, please.

Mail search not working + Spotlight keeps indexing

I have an old problem that has resurfaced after creating a new user on my Mac. Mail search brings no results and Spotlight is constantly indexing - day in, day out. It never seems to get there. I tried turning my hard drive to private in Spotlight settings and then taking it out. Previously Spotlight seemed to get bogged down with external drives now it's stuck indexing my Mac.
Any advice? Is there a way I get unstick this?

I can't believe that Apple have STILL not sorted this out. I haven't created a new user (so it's nothing to do with that), but Mail.app won't find anything when searching "Entire Message" in the current Mailbox or in "All Mailboxes". This has been ongoing since Leopard was first released, and we are now up to 10.5.8 without this being fixed.

Knowledge Search not working in Win client

hi there
i have a problem with knowledge search not working in IC Win Client in CRM version 5.0
i guess the problem is with the workspace that is IIA for solution search that is assigned against the knowledge search
please tell what should i do as right now when i am trying to execute it or open the knowledge search dump is coming stating null object referenced
i wonder what could be the solution
best regards
ashish

Hello ashish,
I had that problem too. You have to apply note 1002299 to restore missing configurations in SAF.
Also, if you worked with IIA in previous versions, take a look at note 656321 to check it's evolution (replacement by SAF).
Good luck and Kind regards,
Bruno

Search not working in itunes store 11.0.5.5

search not working in itunes store 11.0.5.5

Fixed. Tried a lot different things but the ones that seems to have worked is going in Preferences>Advanced and hitting the Reset cache button. Though I'm not sure it is necessary it never hurts to do a restart.

Why does my google toolbar not work properly with the new updates. It was such a convenience to use the old toolbar to go to places I had visited before. Now I cannot get those old addresses with anything but Firefox 3.62 or whatever.

Why does Google Toolbar not work with the newer versions of Firefox.

Google have stopped supporting Google Toolbar on the latest versions of Firefox. Apparently one of the reasons for this decision is that modern browsers already tend to support many of the functions that google toolbar provides.
Firefox does allow you to specifically bookmark sites you have chosen, and also automatically remembers many of the sites you visit.

Google searches not showing in history

This was a problem long ago that seemed to go away, but it's happening again. Not every time, but often when I perform a Google search from the URL "smart" field, that search doesn't show up in my browsing history. No idea when or why this happens.
Any ideas?

Initiate a search from "Google search", not from Safari smart search field.
Click "Settings" at the bottom right corner of the page.
Select "Search settings" from the window that pops up.
Search Settings > Google instant predictions
Select " Never show instant results".
Now Google search from smartsearch field will be shown in the history.
Keep a record of this, incase if you want to change it back.
