  • How can I change the default search provider from yahoo to google via script?

    I have 350 users who are upset about the default search provider being changed. I need to change it back via script. How do I do this? I have attempted lockPref("browser.search.isUS", false); in my mozilla.cfg file with no success.

    hi, does this work?
    defaultPref("browser.search.defaultenginename.US", "data:text/plain,browser.search.defaultenginename.US=Google");

    Unfortunately, no it does not.

    Kyle,
    Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
    I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
    What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
    I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
    Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.

  • How do I change my default Search Engine from Yahoo to Google permanently?

    Every time I restart Firefox my search engine reverts back to yahoo, how do I fix this permanently. I only want to use google to search for things it is much more efficient. Is there some firefox connection to yahoo that is causing this?

    None of above worked for me.
    This did:
    "In your address bar, type in: “about:config”
    Inside of the filter search box, type in:
    browser.search.defaultenginename
    Double click that entry (or right click and choose “Modify”) and then type in the name of the search engine you wish to have as the default search engine. It must be one that you already have installed and also make sure you type in the name correctly.
    Now if you type in “Yahoo”, restart Firefox and when your browser comes back up you will see the red Yahoo “Y” and Yahoo as your default search engine."
    (as found on http://www.searchenginejournal.com/change-your-default-search-engine-in-firefox-google-chrome-ie/24378/)
    Since I wanted to be rid of Yahoo and get Google back - in the last part instead of typing "Yahoo" I typed "Google".
    That's it.

  • How do I change my default search engine in Safari?

    I would like to change my default search engine other than the options that's given in the Preferences. Does anyone know how to?

    This extension claims to be able to divert your search requests to any specified search engine:
    https://github.com/mcs07/AnySearch-safari-extension
    This page details a hack to change one of the defaults to an engine of your choice:

  • How do I change the default search engine in the address bar?

    I am trying to change the default search engine in the address bar to Scroogle SSL, I have tried editing about.config but it either goes to Google or on rare occasions it has opened to Scroogle SSL and the address bar shows https://ssl.scroogle.org/(+whatever was entered), while the main window shows a proxy error .
    I have an idea that something needs to be added at the end of the URL in about.config to actually make it search.
    Can anybody tell me what the specific settings would be to get this working?
    I have Scroogle SSL in the search engine list but I want to remove the search box to save space.
    Also I cannot get the search to open in a new tab even though browser.search.openintab is set to True.
    Thanks in advance.
    == Operating system ==
    XP-SP3

    Hi, having tried both ways myself what you say is true but that is not the source of my confusion.
    (In fact I discovered that when I set the same thing up in Opera10.53 everything up to the ? appears on one line in the setup and the Gw=%s on another.)
    What I cannot understand is why, if I am using Scroogle SSl search it is opening the OpenDNS guide.
    If I use my Scroogle SSL home page it opens a minimal Google search page, the same thing happens if I use the search box. I expected this would be the same as well or am I missing something?
    OpenDNS is preferable to Google but not what I was looking for.
    Since I started writing this I have just discovered that changing the keyword.URL does not affect this.
    Earlier I recovered my system from an image which undid the changes that I had made to about.config, I have run searches both before and after I edited it again. Both times I finished up on OpenDNS?

  • How can I change the default "search criteria" in Finder?

    I can't seem to find any way to change the default search criteria when I search for a file in Finder. I have to select "show search criteria" and deselect the criteria every time I search for a file.. annoying!

    When I do that it just makes a Smart Folder search, which I can save and put on the side bar, then click on and use, but does not allow me to open Finder, type in the search field, and go. Any other ideas?

  • How do I change my default search engine back to google

    my default search engine is ask.com
    I changed my home page to be goggle but its the old firefox start unlike the one it shows when it sent me to ask :(
    Question
    Every time I get online my search engine is ask UI have typed in google into my about:config settings many times yet my search engine remaines ASK (it changes back every time and iI used the google URL on firefox's help page)how do I fix this so that my search remaines with goole not ASK because I hate ASK(no offense ask).

    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • How do I change my default search back to Google?

    I downloaded a program that set my homepage and default search engine (in all my browsers) to their search engine. When I search by typing in the address bar (as opposed to the search bar) it used to go to Google, but now it goes to this other site. I changed the search bar and homepage back to Google but I can't find how to change it back to Google when I search from the address bar. Help!

    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • Windows 8.1 not letting me change my default search provider

    I recently upgraded my PC to Windows 8.1 and I am trying to set Google as my default search engine in Internet Explorer. I’ve worked through the process of changing this to Google but it’s not
    working. I click the ‘add to internet explorer’ button and nothing happens, I got someone to test on a Windows 7 PC and they get a pop-up saying ‘Do you want to add this search provider?’ However on my Windows 8.1 machine this pop-up doesn’t appear.

    Hi,
    After you get to the “Manage add-ons” item, you can add more search provider in the following way:
    1. Go to Search Provider, and then at the bottom part, click “Find more search providers…” just like the screenshot below:
    2. Find the Google provider and choose the one, you can set it as a default by clicking at the right corner of the pane as the screenshot below:

  • How do I change my default search engine in the URL bar back to Google after my ISP replaced my default search engine with their own?

    Before I changed internet service providers, I could type my search queries into the url bar and receive search results from Google. After I switched ISPs, my queries typed into the url bar are put into my new ISP's horrible search engine. How do I change it back?
    I've already tried going to about:config and changing the value of the keyword.URL preference to "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=" but that didn't fix my problem.
    New information since creation of the post:
    My ISP is Optimum. I have opted out of DNS Assistance and still have seen no change.
    When my search term is two words or more, I am directed to Google search results. If my search term is only one word, however, I am still directed to Optimum's search results.

    Hello samshine, try to reset the '''browser.search.defaultenginename''' in about:config and check it again.
    thank you
