How do I disable Quick find?

I do not want quick find to pop up when I hit "/". How do I disable it?

Okay, I installed that ancient add-on. The instructions on that page are:
<br />
>> You can change these settings with the following two preferences:<br />
>> user_pref("searchkeys.link.key", xxx);<br />
>> user_pref("searchkeys.find.key", xxx);<br />
>> where xxx is the ascii code of the key you like for the action.<br />
>> You can also disable at all the feature, with this preferences:<br />
>> user_pref("searchkeys.disable.all", true);
Where do I type those commands?

  • How do I disable "quick find"? I've opened "tools"; unchecked all 3 boxes under "accessibility" in the Advanced tab, yet the "quick find" still comes up whenever I type the "/" key or the "z" key. Any ideas?

    This only seems to happen with Firefox not with IE, so it must be peculiar to Firefox.

  • Is there any way to disable Quick Find and use the old VS 2010 find?

    I really dislike the Quick Find dialog. It's one of the few tools from the VS 2010 Productivity Pack that I always disabled. It looks like they've forced it on us with 2012 though, so I'm wondering if there's a way to disable Quick Find and use the old
    style Find dialog?

    I wish the VS2012 devs would realize just how badly the Quick Find tool slows me down. It's poorly labelled, does a full search immediately after every single keystroke, and doesn't default to whatever's highlighted in the code when invoked. It
    makes me feel like I'm the only one who uses the product.
    I agree with ElectricNinja and
    Disable Quick Find in VS 2012
    The quick find is terrible, and was one of the few tools that I'd disable in the 2010 pack.  wish there was a way to return to the good old normal find. 

  • How To Disable Quick Find

    I have Firefox 22 installed on a Windows 8 laptop. Most of the time when I type something the 'Quick Find' bar pops up. Is there any way to disable it? I have no extensions installed except for WOT and McAfee.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Accessibility: "Search for text when I start typing"

  • Can't disable quick find, none of the regular fixes are working.

    I've been running Firefox 23 with no problems for a while, and just discovered that I get a quick find prompt every time I type an apostrophe into text boxes. The "search for text" option in my tool panel is unchecked, and I have repeatedly tried opening dialogue boxes to reset quick find, but I still get prompted every time I hit a slash or an apostrophe. This is incredibly inconvenient, and I've been searching for a way to fix this for the last hour and nothing has worked.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • How to permanently disable quick links

    Recently Firefox has started doing something extremely annoying - activating something called quick links whenever I use an apostrophe ('). The only way I have found to disable it is to go into about:config and add a boolean to disable it, but when I restart Firefox it goes back to the default settings. This is incredibly annoying because damnit, I want to use proper grammar and punctuation in my posts and this thing won't let me! I never asked to turn it on since Ctrl-F does the same thing, it is a redundant feature that has a stupid trigger. I'm seriously switching to Chrome over this, but I'm hoping I can solve the problem first...

    Above "solutions" attempted.
    Did not work.
    Solutions that involve me resizing windows, or opening and closing dialogue boxes, or sacrificing a chicken to the mozilla overlords are not acceptable. Fix the problem by removing the keymap, or allowing users to remove the keymapping, would be grand.
    Any other ideas here? I would try the "upgrade FF'" solution, but FF4.1 does not support firebug yet, and without firebug there really is not a reason to use Firefox.
    This has to be the most boneheaded UI/UX decision ever.
    Guess what, the apostrophe is used CONSTANTLY when you are writing things like, oh, email... google docs... facebook posts... twitter posts...
    Seriously. Double Picard Facepalm.
    I've tried a number of the suggested ways to disable this "feature" and none of them work. Basically, in FF4, I am totally boned.

  • How can I disable the find bar, not only in textboxes

    I started a Typecourse on Internet. I need the / -key in an exercise, but I do not type in an official textbox. Every time I use this key, the find box opens. How can I prevend that.
    Is there a way to turn of the find box completely, or at least to change the short-keys for the find box?
    I will have the same problem with the '-key soon.

    Thank you, Cor-el, that seems a sollution to my problem.
    I tried to download the extension, but I don't seem to get it to work. Where do I save it and how can I make it installing itself?
    I use Vista.
    I am sorry, I have never done this before... :-)

  • How can I disable/change the keystroke for accessing "Quick Find"?

    Using / , ' or " brings up the "Quick Find" menu, but this interferes with normal usage of the keyboard. I would like to either disable or change the default keystroke to bring up "Quick Find" so that I can type normally.

  • How do I disable/uninstall "Quick Search" in Status Bar?

    I want to disable/uninstall the "Quick Search" box that pops up in my Status Bar in Firefox 23.0.1 Right now I'm having an issue with an "erratic cursor" (Windows 8...YUCK!!!!). I start typing in the address bar in a new tab, or in Google search bar, and my cursor floats all over the screen without my knowledge. In the middle of typing my search, the cursor will somehow "trigger" the "Quick Search" box, and suddenly, my words end up being typed there. I found out that this "erratic cursor" is a documented issue with the Lenovo G585 laptop, and until I find out how to fix it, I REALLY want to stop "Quick Search" from opening unless I ask it to open.
    How do I stop "Quick Search" from opening?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • I really do not like the new Photos app.  My iPhoto app is disabled in Finder.  How can I go back to iPhoto?

    My system just updated to OS X 10.10.3 and now Photos has replaced iPhoto.  My iPhoto has been disabled in Finder.  I really DO NOT like Photos.  Photos are no longer organized into "Events" and my Events labels are gone.  I also am not able to share photos via e-mail.  I tried to update iPhoto through the App Store, but got the message that it is not available in the US.  Then I got a message that said it was temporarily not available.  How can I get iPhoto back?

    now Photos has replaced iPhoto.  My iPhoto has been disabled in Finder.
    No, Photos did not replace iPhoto. It did not disable iPhoto. You updated to 10.10.3 before updating iPhoto to version that was compatible with Yosemite. That is why your older version is disabled.

  • I've sold my Macbook but forgot to disable the Find my device, how can I remove it now as it keeps popping up everytime it's turned on

    Hi All - sorry if this is in the wrong area but I'm alittle stuck.  Recently sold my Macbook but forgot to disable the "Find my Device" on it. Now everytime I log into my icloud and look for my daughter (hmmm stalking her by tracking the phone LOL) if these new people have the mac turned on it pops back up.  I've removed it a couple of times when it's been online but it keeps coming back.
    Don't have any way to contact them ... how can I permanently remove it???
    Thanks Heaps

    I believe that it is not very likely that the person that has bought your computer is using your iCloud account. It appears that by enabling find my Mac on the computer, this is somehow written to firmware, so that the Mac continues to be located by the find my Mac application even after the computer has been erased.
    There is some evidence to show that when the person that has bought the computer enables find my Mac themselves that's it will then stop showing up in your find my Mac application.

  • Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos.  I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

    Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.
