How do I use the location bar to search for phrases that do not contain spaces?

When I type phrases that contain spaces into the search bar, it brings up a google search as specified by my about:config under keyword.URL
However, when I type anything that *does not* contain a space (e.g. potatoes), firefox tries to connect to http://potatoes/, returning a "cannot establish connection to server at potatoes"
my keyword.URL is set to: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled is *false*
browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled is *true* (though I don't think this has anything to do with it)

hello jywang74, please update to firefox version 33.0.2 - there you'll see a different behaviour (keyword.url is no longer used btw, the address bar uses the same search provider as set in the searchbar).

  • How do I use the location bar to automatically load the top google hit?

    I recently re-installed Firefox 3.6.12 and created a new profile because my old one was malfunctioning. Before, when I typed something in the location bar (say "nyt") it would automatically load the first Google hit (so I didn't have to type "nytimes.com"). Now, it simply performs a Google search without loading the first page hit. I loved being able to save time this way. How do I restore this feature?

    I had this problem in FF4 and found the answer here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/756711#answer-
    To quote TonyE:
    Current release versions of Firefox by default use the Google "browse by name" search option for the location bar, but Firefox 4 beta 6 no longer uses this. You can restore it by changing a hidden preference. In Firefox 4 beta 6 it should have defaulted to a Google search rather than what you got.
    Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
    Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    In the filter box type keyword
    Double-click on the preference keyword.URL and change it to the one shown below

  • How to search for documents that do not contain a word in a section?

    For example: (deleted% within folder) finds all documents that have deleted in the folder
    I want to find all documents that do not contain "deleted%" within folder.

    If you have other criteria, then you can use "other criteria NOT deleted% within folder". However, if there is no other criteria, then you cannot just begin with NOT, so you have to use "% NOT deleted% within folder", but on a large data set that will result in an error about the wildcard expanding to too many terms.

  • I want my privacy settings with using the location bar to stay at NOthing

    Hi. I cannot stand how the location bar works with Mozilla. I have went to 'Privacy', clicked on "when using the location bar, suggest", and then clicked on NOTHING. It does not stay with this setting, but goes back to showing everything. I don't want everyone in my house seeing exactly what I have been doing, nor do "I" want to see the addresses and bookmarks listed here. If I want to view all of that, I will got to "bookmarks" or "history".

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    If you do not want that data to appear if the location bar history is enabled then use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the history when you exit Firefox or use [[Private Browsing]] mode.

  • "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Files" (and "Locate Referenced Files")

    I am trying to follow the Help Documentation item "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Master" (not sure if there is a way to post a URL to this) and I am not seeing what it is telling me to do.
    I am going to Edit > Find and it is telling me to "Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser". Is this referring to a browser in the Aperture UI or is this in the Filter HUD display? I am not finding this.
    Also, it saying that in the Filter HUD I should "choose File Status from the Add Filter pop-up menu, and select the 'File Status' checkbox." and I am not seeing this either. Does anyone know where this is at?
    Lastly, I see that there is a command called File > Locate Referenced Files and when I run this I get a "No Referenced Files in the /current/ selection. I have realized that I don't quite understand whether I am running this search for a specific Project and/or whether I have to make a specific selection in the left hand pane when I run a FILTER HUD or whether this automatically defaults to search the whole database. Does it matter what I have selected in the current Browser View when I run either of these commands?
    Thanks for any help in my getting this working better for me.

    1.  Just copy and paste the URL from the on-line User Manual.  Very helpful.  Are you on this page?
    2.  From the above-linked page:
    Show the Filter HUD by doing one of the following:
    Choose Edit > Find (or press Command-F).
    Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser.
    The instructions specify ONE of the following.  Your question indicates to me that you are trying to do both.
    3.  The User Manual has used the wrong term here.  It should say "Choose 'File Status' from the 'Add RULE' pop-up menu."
    4.  The command -- like all commands? -- works on the currently selected Images.  On the same page in the User Manual it says:
    You can select a group of images in the Browser and Aperture can show a list of the referenced images within the selection, including information about where the masters are located. {Emphasis mine.}
    5.  The Aperture workspace is highly configurable.  I don't know what you mean by "the left-hand pane".  Of what?
    6.  Yes.  Of course it matters.  At some point in the 80's when the GUI became standard computers standardized on the "Noun→Verb" syntax:  Select object(s), select command(s).
    7.  Not sure what the second command to which your refer is.

  • How do I get the location bar drop-down list to show the most recently visited page at the top? I have no idea how it's deciding what to display.

    In IE when you show the drop-down list from the location bar, it show you all of your most recently visited pages in descending order with the most recent at the top. Firefox is showing me a list that I have no idea where it's getting the pages from or how it's ordering them. It doesn't update the pages or the order when I go to a new page. I have recently switched from IE to Firefox and cannot figure out how to get Firefox to do this; very annoying.

    That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
    If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder.<br />
    Name: <b>Recently Visited</b><br />
    Location: <b>place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30</b><br />
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

    I don't suppose it's likely to occure in a future release of time capsule software is it?
    On the Support Community, we are all users....just like you....so we have no way of knowing what Apple's future plans might be regarding new products or software.

  • In Firefox 3.6.13, I've set the Smart Location feature to "Nothing" but the next time I start up Firefox it has reset the location bar to search "Bookmarks" ! This is very annoying that it won't stay set to do nothing.

    I go to "Tools", "Options" and then "Privacy". At the "Location Bar" I set it to "Nothing" and then accept. The next time I restart my laptop from "Sleep", start up Firefox and start typing in a web address in the location bar it shows me the "Bookmark" stuff.

  • How Do I Use the TCallback parameter in ibnotify for Delphi in dpib32.pas​?

    I'm having some troubles. I've been using the dpib32.pas library for at least 2 years now with no troubles. Now I need to handle some oddball stuff using Async Callbacks. I've referred to App Note 100 and am 98% there... I just can't figure out how to properly use the TCallback function in ibnotify. Any clues?
    First thought was to add a function matching the TCallBack function...
    function TfrmMain.IBCallBack(ud : integer;LocalIbsta : integer;LocalIberr : integer;LocalIbcntl : Longint;var RefData): integer; stdcall;
    then use it as a the parameter in ibnotify...
    ibnotify(Dev,RQS,@IBCallback,NULL);
    All this gives me is a 'variable required' message on compilation.

    Never mind. I dug around in my code archives and found the proper methid for implementing the callback.

  • How can I use the F14 and F15 key for a shortcut?

    Hi folks,
    I've been trying to assign custom shortcuts to the F14 and F15 keys of my keyboard (wired, full sized type) on my Mac Pro 2008 running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 however every time I try to assign those keys to an app's "Record a shortcut" function I get the same error dialog from the OS:
    The key combination F15 can't be used!
    The key combination "F15" can't be used because it's already used by a system-wide keyboard shortcut. (If you really want to use this key combination, most shortcuts can be changed in the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences.)
    (note: the same happens with F14, F13 and lower as well as F16+ work fine however)
    I have looked into my system settings as the dialog suggests however there isn't a single shortcut that uses F14 or F15 anywhere in any of the shortcut groups.
    If any of you have an idea of how I could "clear" or even just find out what these keys are currently being used for/by that would be super… they don't seem to do or trigger anything when I press them.
    Here is another screenshot of the issue:
    Note: This is not app specific, I've tried this in various apps and every time I get the same Mac OS popup.
    Thanks for reading,
    I look forward to your ideas and insights!

    Hi,
    Use the step reference to get a PropertyObject reference using the Step.AsPropertyObject. With this PropertyObject reference you can then get the values of Limits.High and Limits.Low using the PropertyObject.GetValNumber() method.
    Limits.High and Limits.Low will be the lookup string for the PropertyObject.GetValNumber() method.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I use the following code in such a way that it will display what is indicated by the word "echo"?

    if(exist chrome.exe $true) 
    echo internet is ready 
    else 
    echo get chrome!!
    I want to use the above script to cause the shell to display either "internet is ready" or "get chrome!!" depending on whether or not a user has Chrome but the shell keeps giving the following error message.
    Missing statement block after if ( condition ).
    At line:2 char:1
    What is a statement block, and how do I use it to display the text?

    This might work okay in .BAT but I don't think so much in Powershell. You are trying to do an IF ( ) statement, but you have no parameters after that.
    A pancake of how an IF statement works in Powershell:
    If (statement -like "True") { Script info if condition is true } else { script info if condition is false }
    In your case, you need to test the path of Chrome to see if it exsists. I don't have Chrome installed, but I do have IE. You just need to change the path to where the Chrome.exe is installed.
    ps - the Echo equiv in Powershell is Write-Host
    $TestBrowser = Test-Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
        if ($TestBrowser -like "True")
            Write-Host the internets is ready!
        else
            Write-Host the internets is not ready
    Similiarly, you don't need to use $TestBrowser in your If ( ) statement, you can just use the operational param $?, which should return true or false depending on the last error message.

  • How can I use the MPEG-2 DVD format for video rendering?

    I have been trying to make a DVD out of my brother's wedding footage, but I've run into a wall. I would like to render out my footage in the .M2V format (MPEG-2 DVD), but I'm not given the option to use it. The only MPEG format I'm given is the .H264, and that doesn't work as well. How can I install the .M2V codec?

    You should either:
    Render to a suitable production codec and then compress for DVD in your authoring application.Use the Render Cue to render a PhotoJpg at NTSC or PAL file using default frame sizes for your AE rendering composition, then drop in Encore for authoring.
    Open your AE project in Adobe Media Encoder, pick the composition you want to render from the list and pick the MPEG 2 for DVD preset.
    Open Adobe Encore, select File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition and then set up your timelines and menu's as you like and select Build DVD.
    All DVD authoring programs will compress standard def video in just about any format for DVD. After Effects, however, will not do multi-pass rendering which is required for high quality MPEG compression.

  • How can I update cluster items from inside a while loop that does not contain the cluster?

    I have a VI that contains front panel clusters and two while loops. The main cluster contains items such as a doubles "distance" and "stepsize" and boolean "step" (a whole buch of this type stuff). The first loop contains an event structure to detect front panel changes and the second contains code and sub VIs to perform operations based on detected events.
    The operator can enter data into either double or click the boolean. If distance is changed the second loop does what is required to process the change. The same happens with stepsize. If step is clicked the ±stepsize value is added to distance and the result is processed. In each case the front panel should track the result of the input and subsequent processing.
    Because the clusters are outside the while loop, they are not updated unless I click 'highlight execution' which seems to allow updating each time the execution highlight is updated. There are other issues if I move the clusters into one of the loops.
    I've tried referencing the clusters and using local variables and nothing works. It looks like overkill to use shared variables for this.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Frank    

    Hi Ben,
    Thank you for the response. I followed the link and tried reading everything you posted on AEs but I'm afraid that I didn't understand it all. It seems that each AE example had a single input and a single output (e.g. a double). Is this the case? 
    What I have is a couple of front panel clusters containing (approximately) 18 control doubles, 8 indicator doubles, 5 boolean radio button constructs and 26 boolean control discretes. I clusterized it to make it readable. In addition I'll eventually have a cluster of task references for hardware handles.
    All I want to do is update the front panel values like I would do in a C, VB or any other language. I've tried referencing the cluster and using the reference from inside the loops. I've tied using local variables. Neither works. I'm experimenting with globals but it seems that I have to construct the front panel in the gloabal and then I wouldn't know how to repoduce that on the front panel of the main VI.  Sometimes it seems that more time is spent getting around Labview constructs than benefitting from them.
    I hope the 'Add Attachment' function actuals puts a copy of the VI here and not a link to it.
    Thanks again for the suggestion,
    Frank
