How do i limit my searches to google only

No matter what I search for, no matter that the Q bar says google, the seach only comes back in yahoo
I don't like or want to use or see yahoo searches.
How can I totally block all searches on yahooo and limit my searches to google only?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

When searching with Google how can I limit site to UK ones only

When using Google search, how can I by default limit reply to UK sites only?

Or use a link like this:

How can I limit Bridge searches to just image names?

I'm new to CS5 and use Bridge a lot.
The problem I'm having is that it seems very difficult to limit the images to just the artwork I'm looking for.
When I type in almost any name, the Mac OS will bring up dozens of related files for every sort of OSX segment file.
I only want Bridge to show images.
It seems that in trying to narrow down the choices, the settings are a bit arcane.
When I create a search for document type, there are about 200 arcane sorts to weed out... with photoshop appearing about three screens down the list.
Is there any way to limit the searches to just photoshop .psd and .jpeg files?
Thanks!

Thanks!
I wonder if there is any way to save these basic search parameters, so one doesn't have to go through all that trouble for every search?
If not, I'd say Adobe really dropped the ball on this one, effectively undoing the simplicity in favor of too many bells & whistles... imho.
I find myself just going to the Mac OS finder to search file names, since the Bridge search is so arcane.
IF there was a way to save the basic search for images (as opposed to coming up with every single related name on the entire computer), that'd sure make things quicker.

How can I limit Analog Output to positive only?

Hi everyone,
I'm using PXI 7350 and UMI 7774 for controlling a DC brushless motor,
the problem is that the drive for the motor only supports positive voltage input ( to adjust motor's velocity).
So how can I limit the output voltage to positive ?
I'm new to labview and I have been confused by this problem for a long time , so it will be geat if there's any example vi of that !
Thanks for any help !

What are you using for feedback? If you are only moving in one direction, then you don't have to worry about limiting the analog to positive, the controller will take care of that.

How do I delete previous searches from Google?

Whenever I hit the down arrow key on the keyboard when I am typing in the search field for Google (or any other search engine website), it brings up a list of all my previous searches...how do I get rid of these?

Sorry, I guess I was not specific enough. I was not referring to the Safari browser, but instead the actual Google website. When you type on the website's search field, you can bring up the previous searches that you made while on the website. The search field in the Safari browser window and the Google website do not share the same previous searches.
I looked under Preferences for Safari but I couldn't find anything that deals with deleting previous searches. In Windows Vista, all I needed to do was press the delete key (which is where the forward delete key is located on the Mac keyboards) or I could delete all of these previous searches from all websites by going through Explorer

WRT54G: How do I limit access to specific ports, only to local IP's

Using a WRT54G with Windows XP, and I've setup a web server that I'm still testing. Until I understand the security better, I want to limit access from outside IP's to the port that it's running on, but NOT limit access from the outside to services running on other ports. Is there a way to block a range of IP addresses (or conversely, only permit access for a limited range of IP addresses) to a specific port? So for example (assuming server's on Port 99, and IP address to the outside world is 99.99.99.99: Port 99: Blocked IP Range: 0.0.0.0-99.99.99.98, and 99.99.99.100-255.255.255.255 - OR Port 99: Allowed IP Range: 99.99.99.99 Alternatively, I would be interested to permit access to the web server port, only for certain MAC addresses. Is this pretty secure, and if so, how can this be done? I've poked around the router settings and spent a good deal of time researching this; any help would be greatly appreciated...

Why do you want to block IP addresses: "IP Range: 0.0.0.0-99.99.99.98, and 99.99.99.100-255.255.255.255" ?   This is everybody on the web, except your router!    If you really want to block all these people, just unplug your router from your Internet connection. That is a block that cannot be hacked!
Normally a server is assigned a fixed LAN IP address. This address must be outside the DHCP server range of your router, and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Next you forward a port (for example, 99) to the server's fixed LAN IP address.
Data arriving at the Internet port of your WRT54G for port 99 will then be forwarded to your server. If you have other Internet services (i.e. server B) running on port 1297, then data that arrives at the Internet port of your WRT54G for port 1297 will be directed to server B.   Assuming that you only have port 99 and port 1297 open, then any other unrequested data (for any other port) that arrives at the Internet port of your WRT54G will simply be ignored (and thereby blocked).    If you connect another computer to a LAN port of the WRT54G, connect to the Internet, and request data, then when that data arrives at the Internet port of the WRT54G, it will be allowed to pass, and it will be routed to your computer.
In summary, by default, all router ports are closed. The only way to get data through the router is either to open a port (using port forwarding, or alternatively, the UPnP function), or for someone (or some program) on the LAN to request data from the web.
The router cannot limit the use of a port by MAC address.    When you open a port on your router, you are opening your server to invasion from anyone on the Internet. So, your server must be setup to protect itself.   Rather than limiting server use by MAC address (which can be faked), your server should be setup to require a user name and password.

How can i limit the user to enter only A to Z and space in JFormattedText

dear
i want to use JFormatedTextField in two manners
1.Limit the no of charecters.means in a text field only 20 charecters r allowed.
2.and also check the enterd charecter must be a to z and space not other chareters r allowed.
3.same for numbers means 0 to 9 and decimal.
how can i do by using the JFormated TextFilef.

Probably lacks in some cases but what the hell.

Hi Katbat,
I think I've *almost* found out how to do this.. sign up for "BC Backups". Sync file with your dropbox. Open the backup file "Orders" and it will show the columns below. Maybe you can cross compare it with the BC report to get your other columns?
We use it to see discount codes / a report on value of invoices where discount codes were used. It's like business catalyst reports on steroids. Hope that helps

How do I change Preview search settings to only search once I hit enter?

Any ideas?
Or to increase the delay so that I can finish typing the search before it attempt the scan.. For large PDF documents instant search just isn't practical.

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]]

How can I do a search within a folder on desktop

Care to share which OS you are using?
Command + F usually does the trick.

Search Result contains only Pages/Attachments

Dear All,
We are using 10g portal. When we search some keywords using simple/custom/advanced search.
Are there any setting that the result just limit to pages/attachments??
As if I use "Custom" search, I can only limit to search either "Page only" or "Item" only, which can not fulfill our requirement.
Pls HELP!!
Regards,
Calvin

In your steps (testcase) do not select the option 'this portlet' under 'Where should the search results be displayed?' for 'My Search Result' page.Let it be the default one - 'Default Search Results Page (Default when displaying a search form)'. This should work.
Regarding your second question, it is possible to have two search form and two search results associated 1-1 . Follow the same steps as mentioned above.

How to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

dear, there.

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

When i click on the new tab I dont get the google page but some other search engine, how do I change it back to google?

My home page is the default Google page but when i click on open new tab and it loads some other search engine's site instead. How do I change that back to Google? I've checked for any random add-ons but that doesnt seem to be the problem...

Does that still happen is you disable the RadioBar Toolbar?
