How do I enable The Google Quick Search Box feature?
The Google Quick Search Box on the toolbar no longer will search when entered. The search request registers but won't search. I have to go to Google.com in order to use the Google search engine. The quick search was handy and I'd like to have it back. Per Google I need to enable it by clicking on the "wrench", search and enable... but it's not there to enable. HELP!
You can also access the Google Toolbar Options thru Tools > Addons > Extensions - Google Toolbar for Firefox & then right-click that extension and click on Options.
See this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />

How do I safely download google quick search box?
Can anyone tell me, how do I safely download Google Quick Search Box?
I'd likely use Spotlight or the google widget in Dashboard, although I usually stick with highlighting a word to search for, then ctrl-click & pick 'search with google'.
QSB development seems to have ceased in 2010, and it was still 'beta' software then.
http://www.alfredapp.com/ seems popular with some, and is in the app store. -
I lost the google quick search box from the screen of my droid and I am unable to locate the correct app. Also, someone told me about an amp to scan items and it then gives you a list of stores and which is the better buy.
Right... the original Google Search widget is just called "Search"
The new enhanced widget that comes with Froyo is called "Google Search"
As long as you're running 2.2 you should now see both under widgets.

Just a couple of weeks ago it found me a new Linksys wireless router on sale locally at Radio Shack (a one day only sale) for about $45 instead of Best Buy where I happened to be standing at the time, they wanted about $75 for the exact same model. -
I added a personna 6/25/10, wanted to shorten the google navigation & search bars to see it but can't. Have re-installed the google tool bar, have selected the firefox tool bar version as my default and can then change the width but when one box gets shorter the other gets longer still filling the width of the screen. Customize tool bar doesn't give any options to shorten the tool bar width, I'm at a total loss. Would love suggestions if you've successfully fixed this.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 6-25-10The location bar and search bar have a flex property and take all available space.
You can only change the relative size of both with that resizer between the two bars.
You can only do that by adding a lot of Space elements in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
You can set a fixed width by setting the min-width and max-width to the same value.

You can chose your own values as long as the min-width and max-width for each bar have the same value. -
How to re-enable the legacy saving warning box in Illustrator CS4
For some things we do, we have to save them as Illustrator CS files. One of my users used to get a warning prompt, but he did something and now he doesn't get the prompt, and therefore forgets to save as the CS version.
I don't use Illustrator, so not sure of what box he's talking about exactly, but figured someone here might know what it is and how to re-enable it if he disabled it.You can reset all warnings with a button in Preferences > General

I loaded Mozilla v31 on my PC laptop which uses Windows XP operating system with all current updates. When I click on my internet icon, it leads me to the Mozilla page with a Google search bar. Once I type a topic in and click for the search to begin, the Firefox page turns all black and I am not able to see any results or action being taken. I click on the back arrow and enter a new topic, and click on search button, it repeats the same behavior and the Firefox page turns black. Essentially Mozilla Firefox is not a usable browser unless I can fix it. Help!
When this happens, has the address bar changed to a google.com address or is it still blank?
Some graphical glitches are caused by an incompatibility between Firefox and your graphics card drivers. The standard workaround for bypassing this is to disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration. You can make that change here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That will take effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.
More generally:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -
A non-movable black box with "Bitdefender Quick Scan" "you haven't scanned your computer in a while. Would you like to start QuickScan now? appeared at the bottom right corner of my screen. How do I remove it?
Your system details list shows a "Bitdefender QuickScan Web Netscape Plugin", so you must have or had Bitdefender software installed.
You can set the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of enabled installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:plugins
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers via the navigator.plugins object, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
You can use the MSConfig program or the Autoruns utility to see which software and services are getting started.

How do you enable the built-in predictive text feature?
Built-in predictive text appears in the new features list, but I don't see an obvious way to access it. Help?
I looked at your laptop service manual. These are your best options as the daughter card/ antina solution used in your laptop does not appear to have a direct upgrade. Newer laptops use a mini PCI (mPCI) solution.
Consider an Expresscard 34 or 54 solution. You laptop appears to have an Expresscard 54 slot that supports both 54 and 34 size cards.

Quick Search box in Safari 6.0
My safari 6.0 browser used to have the google quick search box on the right side and it had disappeared. does anyone know how to get it back?
Thank you. I just tested that out and it did do the google search. however, i believe the way it used to work was that when you put in a search in the box on the right, it opened a new tab automatically. Now, I need to hit the plus to open a new tab before doing the search. do you know what the setting is to open a new tab with a new search? Thanks a lot and you did solve my initial question.

I had to set the settings on Google to Do Not Use Google Instant in their search settings as no cursor was showing on the google search box. After the change it seems that the Google logo and search box seems higher on the Firefox page. I would like to be able to adjust the height of the Google logo/search box. Please tell me if I can make that adjustment.
Thank you for the information about the zoom feature on Firefox. I had found that under the View menu (although I did find it was a temporary fix and the Tools/Options/Font method does change it for a "stick") and changing the font size does increase the size and enlarges or "moves" the logo and search box on Google but that also increases the font size displayed in the search screen. I was hoping to find a way to move the Google logo and search box down on the home page a bit but not change the font size but realize that may be too fine of an adjustment. The zoom feature added to the toolbar via customization may be a good solution for me. Thank you again for your helpfulness.

My default search engine is Google and I deleted Bing from the Search Providers. Facebook is set as my home page. Whenever I open a new tab, a Bing search box is displayed on the page and it takes the focus so when I am trying to type a URL in the new tab, it is entered in the damn bing search box. HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT ACCURSED BING
Swarnava, thank you very much! that did it and I am Bing-less . . . OH HAPPY DAY!! WOOHOO!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you!

After getting my software update for safari yesterday (version 6.0) I've lost the google search bar on my menu bar. I've tried customizing the menu bar by dragging the google search bar to the menu bar, but no luck. How can I get the google search bar back?
You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

I live in thailand. I just downloaded firefox 3.6.12. I have uninstalled google chrome. My firefox homepage comes up with a google mark and is in thai language. How do i remove the google link and get english language?
You can set the Interface Language via the Search settings link on the http://www.google.com/ncr site. That should work for the Google Firefox page as well.<br />
That setting is stored in a Google PREF cookie that you need to keep (allow). -
