How to replace Google search?

Hi,
how can I replace Google for another search engine? I don't want to use Inquisitor nor do the hack described here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030514035516436
Is there no official way to set up my own search site?
Steffen

None of your mentioned plugins work.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your meaning. You want to be able to change the toolbar search field to use a search engine of your choosing? Is that right? If so, check out the following screenshots for a proof of concept using Saft.
      1. Toggling user-defined search engines
      2. Searching for 'ubuntu' on 'MiniNova'
      3. Snapback option following search results

  • Two finger swipe replaces google search string

    MBP with Safari 6.0 experiencing this problem.  Another user was experiencing the issue here:
    http://www.ehmac.ca/mac-iphone-ipad-ipod-help-troubleshooting/99937-safari-two-f inger-swipe-bug-replaces-google-search-string-os-10-7-3-a.html
    I don't know where the bug reports are to follow up on it and I haven't seen any patches for it.  Any advice?  Specifically, I'd like to know how to file the bug (in case I find another) and to follow up on any existing issues.
    TIA,
    Scott

    Is there no place to track the status of the report or see any other outstanding issues so I don't bother filing duplicates?
    Never heard of such a function here. This method gets feedback to the people who count but it is completely behind the scenes. Part of Apple's "cards close to the chest" method of doing pretty much everything. You should have been looking at the "don't expect a response" screen after you hit the submit button on your bug report.
    If there is something that needs clarification, I suspect they will use e-mail to ask for it, but don't stay home waiting!
    Have you read Walter Isaacson's  biography of Steve Jobs? Things like this took on a new--if not satisfying--perspective for me after reading it. So far, it has persisted in their corporate culture in the after-Steve era..

  • How to implement google search in portal application

    Hi,
      I am using  "http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl" file to implement google search in portal application. but i am not able to get the search result. how to implement google search. is this "http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl" is vaild now ?. how to achieve the soultion.
    Regards,
    Shanthakumar.

    Hi Shanthakumar,
    The "GoogleSearch.WSDL" is no longer available as google has replaced it with the new AJAX based searching and they have eventually removed it from public use as well from 7th September 2009. So, I would imagine you would not be able to use the earlier WSDL file for google search. You might have to look in using the new "AJAX Search API". For more information have a look the following links. You can notice "No Longer Available" at the top of the page.

  • How to set google search language in latest Safari

    There are various posts on how to set the default Google search language for the new unified search bar within Safari. But, those did not help me at all. I'm still having french as default language for Google in Safari. I set my language to english (as wanted) under the mentioned link (http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en)  and saved those settings. I live in the german part of Switzerland (and not in France) and I connect to the internet over my nearby ISP. I even reset Safari completely but still each time I do a search in the unified search bar this google sh... shows up in french. Which I definetly do not want and speak.
    Any help very much appreciated.

    I finally figured it out.
    I had to go to Google France (http://www.google.fr/preferences?hl=en) and set my language to English there. Hopefully I don't have to go to the Chinese page as well and set my language to English there as well. I guess I would be lost again.

  • How to clear Google search history

    HI,
    Ever since I updated to 2.1 it has been impossible to clear my Google search terms. Clearing the cache, cookies, etc in 'settings' has no effect.
    Does anyone know how to clear them?

    I'd try a reboot just to see if it fixes the issue.
    Try a reboot (described below).
    Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
    You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

  • How to delete google search history in safari on itouch ?

    Hi All !
    I would like to know how I can delete the google search history in safari?
    Thanks

    I just found the answer somewhere else in the forum - it worked for me.
    Clear it while in Safari by going to bookmarks, then "History," and then the "Clear" button in the bottom left.

  • How to make google-search to redirect to first result (automatically) ?

    Hello,
    I have just installed the latest version of FF on my windows 7.

    I am not being redirected automatically to the first result.
    How can I change it so that I will go to the first result automatically after pressing enter ?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • How to stop Google Search Redirected to Bing

    All my Google searches switch to Bing, even though Google is the default search engine in Safari preferences.  This started several days ago (Dec 30, I believe) when I tried to download a movie from the French TV site, TV5. 
    I went to my applications.  I did have an application that was downloaded that day.  I put that application  into the trash, but I have not emptied the trash and could recover that application.
    I did notice in the Safari preferences that the Search engines listed are now 1. Google, 2.Yahoo, 3. Bing and 4. DuckDuckGo.  I assume that DuckDuckGo is an emerging search engine.
    A Symantic scan did not find anything related to this problem.
    There is a "search.strtpoint.com" statement that appears and redirects my Google search to Bing.  I was able to copy and paste the statement to a text file.  The total statement is:  http://search.strtpoint.com/results.html?c=35&v=insMac&t=1412&ap=97963554&r=ab3c cf12be2240f5a0926c759fb396c0&spt=ext&q=
    Any ideas on how to eliminate the redirect statement?

  • How to localize Google Search?

    I am living in Switzerland running Mac OS X Leopard with English UI. If I type a search term in the Google search windows in the upper right corner, Safari by default searches google.com. Is there a way to set this default to google.ch?

    Hello aheinz:
    This is a link to a Google help page:
    http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=873
    Apparently Google redirects from Google.com to country-specific web pages based on your IP address. There is information in the link to help you go where you wish.

  • How to open google search in new tab?

    In Leopard you could hit Command and Return, and the search would open in a new tab, this however doesn't work with Snow Leopard. What shortcut can I use to open my google search with a new tab, rather than over the existing page.
    Thank you.

    I have that option checked and use that function all the time. I'm wanting my search from the search bar to open in a new tab, not the existing page. Command - click only works if you click on a link within a page.
    Thanks for replying.
