How can I make google my real default search engine?
Yes, I have set Google as my preferred search engine in Safari Preferences.
But when I try to do things such as define a word, it uses Bing.
Frankly, I do not care for Bing.
How can I make google always be my search engine?
ThanksHere you go Andy.
I did learn some things while looking at it.
I need to clean out byTimemachine drive :-)

I'd like Firefox to use Google as the default search engine for the URL search field, instead of Yahoo as I currently have. I've tried to find a place to reset this in Preferences but can't find a solution. Would be very grateful for any advice. Imagine it's simple.
NB: I'm talking of the left search field, not the right search engine one where it's easy enough to define.You can reset the prefs general.useragent.override and keyword.URL on the about:config page.<br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig

I want to use Google as my search engine but no matter what settings I change the default search engine is always Yahoo.
Also I would like to have the feature back where when I open a new tab it shows frequently used pages that I can click on and open.'''Remove the Yahoo Toolbar'''
# "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
# Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
# Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button
'''Then to fix the default search engine''' used at the Location Bar, change the value of '''keyword.URL''' in '''about:config''' to one of the values shown in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location Bar search] at MozillaZine.
* Google Search (Google search results page)<br>'''http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q='''
# type in '''about:config''' into the location bar
# if the warning message nonsense comes up uncheck the box before dismissing the dialog message
# '''filter on keyword'''
# right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.

How can I eliminate Yahoo and bring back Google as my main search engine?
Yahoo comes up as my Firefox stat page. I prefer Google, but cannot seem to make this change.
So you want to make google your home page. I think the steps below will help you.
# Go to [http://google.com Google.com]
# Click Firefox > Options > General
# If you are on Google click on 'Use current page' or you can type in [http://google.com Google.com]
# Click ok

How do I set google as my default search engine
Hello Firefox,
Google comes up as my Home Page, but when I enter, it defaults to www.ask.com. How do I keep it on Google please?
Thanks,
SharronThe Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT?
How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT? If anybody helps me I will be obliged.
Regards,
SubhasishHi Ganguly,
It is possible to have more than one main window in a same page.
You create a main window and simply you copy and past it in the same page.. it will create first main window name as MAIN and other main windows as MAIN01,MAIN02.... up to MAIN99.
Contets flow from MAIN , MAIN01, MAIN02.......................MAIN99. contents after filling the current window it flows to next window(by default, you skip as well with some keyword not sure could be NEW-WINDOW)
you want print the main window data twice? or you want to create two main window in the same page ?
1. give two copies in the no of copies in the output type screen ( Which pop up is coming after excute the program ).
2. create two page with the same script form.
3. you can write the coding inside the program to print twice the same page.
Hope this information use full to you.. -
How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6?
Since I upgraded to IOS 6, Google Maps has been replaced by a poorer Apple version that doesn't support public transport. I want Google maps back. How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6 or downgrade to IOS 5?
Thanks.Google Maps has not yet or does not look like they are creating a standalone app at this time.
It is not easy to downgrade, not recommended by Apple, very involved in order to do that. Again, not recommended.
Use MapQuest for now if you are unhappy with Apple Maps. I was never happy with Google Maps, so I have been using MapQuest for a long time for all directions. -

How can I install google play on my BBZ10? help?
I trying to play some games but in order for me be able to use them properly I need google play on my devices.. How can I get google play on my BBZ10?? help?
You can get Google Play service, you have to update to 10.3.
There is an article on CrackBerry, Cobalt's Google Apps Landing, that has complete instructions on installing 10.3 and the GP services.
Even though Verizon is giving the update, the leaks have been released by Chen & Co and they are stable.
The Amazon App Store is good.. but Snap is better (also on CrackBerry) :-)

How can we specify the Mailbox for Notes?
In Mail.app, how can we specify the Mailbox for Notes (where the new notes will be resided)? It is now 'On My Mac'. I wish to change to my IMAP Mailbox so it sync with my iPhone by just checking email (not by syncing on iTunes).
Thanks in advance.

DecimalForamt df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
String s = df.format(number);or
double number 1234.567;
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
/* if needed.
nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(value);
