History Search by URL (rather than by keywords)

+** sorry if this had been covered before. If so, please kindly direct me to the discussions. I was unable to find it in any discussion. **+
Is it possible to search the Safari history list by URL? For instances, I want to search (and delete) anything relating to mail.yahoo.com or facebook.com.
If we use the keyword search, it'll bring up any pages that contain mail.yahoo.com (or even just partial of those words). This search result is rather meaningless, for the task anyway.
Sorry if this had been asked, I searched the discussions and have not read about it. If it's been discussed, please direct me to the existing discussions.

HI,
Not sure if this is what you are trying to do but have you tried Spotlight? Make sure your Spotlight search criteria is set up correctly first.
Open System Preferences / Spotlight. Make sure Webpages is selected.

Integrated social sharing via custom URLs rather than folio renditions

We publish a free magazine on the iPad, and we have the same content available for free on our website. We would like to send all sharing traffic from the iPad to our website content, rather than to the iPad app content via folio renditions.
Currently, we do this by coding buttons on each iPad page that, when tapped, take people to the corresponding HTML content via Twitter and Facebook sharer URLs. Naturally, we would prefer if this could be done through the "Sharing Icon" in the viewer.
Is there a way to configure the viewer to send people to our custom URLs for Facebook, Twitter & Email?
Thank you!

No. The sharing icon in the viewer is dedicated to enabling the social sharing workflows provided by DPS.

How do I make the search bar on the default Firefox Homepage search in Google rather than AOL?

On the default home page for Firefox 4, the one with the restore previous session on it, the search bar links to AOL Search. This does not seem to happen on other computers. How do I make it search in Google?

In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
#In the filter at the top, type '''keyword.URL'''
#Double click it and replace the current setting with http://www.google.com/search?q= (''it has to be entered exactly as you see it written here - but since this is a URL, right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard, then CTRL+V to paste it'')
#Close Firefox via File | Exit and then restart it again.
To reset it to something else afterwards, see [[How to set the home page]]

Can I do a Boolean keyword search looking for more than one keyword on a webpage? (e.g. "Nonfinancial" OR "Satisfaction")

I know I can use Ctrl+F to look up single instances of a keyword, but I would like to be able to find all instances of 15 or 20 keywords all at once. Is there a way to construct a logic statement to find multiple keywords at the same time? Also, I'm not interested in bookmarking pages, etc. I need to pull up webpages in the browser and search within that webpage for all 20ish words.
thank you for your time,

Hi, this should sort out your problem:
1. Type in "about:config" into the address bar, this will open the settings menu. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"
2. Search for "keyword.URL" in the filter bar.
3. Enter "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=" into the value field.
I'm no expert, but I had the same problem which got on my nerves after being so used to being able to type anything in, and following these steps fixed it.

When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

Songs only appear on my phone when i search the album rather than appear when i select the artist, how can i put them on the artist as well?

songs appear when i search the album on my phone but not under the artist, how can i change it so they show in the artist section as well?

Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

Search filename contains - rather than exact match

What I want to do:
I want to be able to search from a paragraphed .txt file containing numbers only like this
1234567
1234568
1234569
1234570
In a specific folder like this
01 ADVERTS < Folder
Sub folders:
01 Billy 1234567
01 Graham 1234568
01 Sue 1234569
01 Paul 1234570
But at the moment it cannot find anything.
The only way I can get this to work is if I rename all the Sub folder names to match exactly what the paragrahped numbers are or vice versa but this is more work and counter productive.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The following script should do what you are asking for:
set basePath to "old_hd:Users:Blan:Desktop:Last Week:ADS:01 Announcements:"
try
    set destinationPath to alias "old_hd:Users:Blan:Desktop:This weeks:ADS:01 Announcements:"
on error
    display alert "Folder Not Present"
    return
end try
set fileList to paragraphs of (read alias "old_hd:Users:Blan:Desktop:01 Numbered List.txt")
set folderPaths to {}
repeat with thisFileName in fileList
    if length of thisFileName > 0 then
        try
            tell application "Finder"
                set theFolderName to name of (folder 1 of (basePath as alias) whose name ends with thisFileName)
            end tell
            copy (basePath & theFolderName) as alias to the end of folderPaths
        on error
            display alert "File “" & (basePath & thisFileName) & "” does not exist. Skip this file or cancel script?" buttons {"Skip File", "Cancel"} default button "Skip File"
            if button returned of the result is "Cancel" then return
        end try
    end if
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
    duplicate folderPaths to destinationPath
end tell
Hope it can help.

When I "bookmark all tabs" into a bookmark folder, the webpage URLs are used rather than the wepage TITLES and for me this causes a problem.

Using Firefox 34.0 on Ubuntu.
To expand on my particular problem, I use this feature exclusively for going over many days of TV/radio demand services, opening all of them in different tabs, and then at the end 'bookmark all tabs', and store them in a bookmarks folder.
The bookmarks are all displayed as URLs rather than webpage titles. Most of the TV/radio sites I look at have meaningless URLs (the titles are meaningful) so when I look in the folder I cannot quickly browse by bookmarks, I have to open every one individually to see what it is.
THis is different behaviour when I individually bookmark single pages and store it on the bookmark toolbar or other folder. Then the webpage title is displayed, which is the desired behaviour.

''cor-el [[#answer-670559|said]]''
<blockquote>
I see the URL if I haven't visited the tab in the current session and the tab hasn't loaded yet.
*browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand
*browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand
</blockquote>
Hi and thanks for your reply. However, I get URLs instead of names even if I've visted the tabs and they've loaded.
So no solution for me yet. But your reply has opened up the murky world of Mozilla preferences, and by searching (on google) for bookmark preferences I've found someone on Mozillazine forums with a similar issue to mine (I didn't notice this alternative source of help when I was registering for the standard mozilla support)
[http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2438357&sid=4cb515b6e7704181d49073403be55317]
Unfortunately, this mozillazine thread doesn't end in a solution. I've done some brief and unadvised fiddling of preferences without success. I am just adding this info here in case anyone else has this issue and wants to experiment themselves. Perhaps I will repost my problem in Mozillazine explicitly.
thanks again

When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Close tab groups actually closes tabs rather than just the grouping. How do I recover all tabs, not just the last 10? Pages and tabs are not in recent history.

I had a problem with tab groups - if I mistakenly close tab groups, I can only recover the last 10 tabs.
I had a window with many more than 10 tabs which I reopened each session by going to History > Recently Closed Windows. I knew this was risky - I could lose this if I did not keep it in an open window or recently closed window. So I was looking for a way to save this window with all the tabs. I looked into tab groups and, not knowing what I was doing, I closed the groups of tabs. There seems to be no recovery for other than the last 10 tabs. And open tabs are not necessarily in recent history if I have not accessed the tab and refreshed.

I don't use tab groups myself, but I know of a way to increase the number of closed tabs that Firefox remembers. Unfortunately, it's not retroactive...
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the following preferences and enter the preferred new value:
(A) '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' (default: 10)
(B) '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo''' (default: 3)
Regarding what is in history, by default, Firefox will load tabs on demand when you restore a session, rather than loading every single tab immediately. If you turned off that setting, or if you visited all the tabs, then those pages should be in history, but finding them amidst all the others would be quite a challenge...

Rather than go to the home page I have specified in the General tab of Options in the Tools menu, Firefox keeps going to a truncated version of this url.

I have used the following URL as my firefox home page for quite some time:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search
Several months ago, malware of some sort replaced this url with one of their own. I got rid of the malware and put back my original home page, but I'm continuing have a problem: Every time firefox goes to my home page, rather than using the whole url that I've specified, firefox truncates this url to just the first 87 characters, and goes to this truncated url instead:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+
Not only is this not the url that I have specified in the General tab under Options in the Tools menu, I always get an error message in an additional tab whenever Firefox goes to this truncated version of my home page. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get firefox to use the entire url I have specified as my home page in the General Tab under Options?
I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I noticed that prefs.js includes two other user prefs related to the home page in addition to the one that identifies the url I chose:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20130617145905");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "22.0");

You need to escape the pipe character as %7c if you want to include it in the URL

HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How can I search for files with more than one keyword?

I´ve created some keywords, and some files in my folder are tagged with two, three or more keywords.
Is there a way to search for files using more than one keyword on the search field?
Thanks!

Use the Find command (menu Edit) and in criteria at the right side is a plus sign to add another criteria and set it to your custom wishes.
make a choice in results and you should be OK

History Search by URL (rather than by keywords)
