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 set another search engine in safari?

    hi all
    can anybody tell how to set another search engine than google/yahoo in safari (e.g. Bing)?
    thank you

    At this stage, I don't know of any workarounds (or available plugins) for Safari for Windows 4.0.4 that allow you to put a different search engine option in the search field.
    The workaround I've been using is to pin a Bing window into my Top Sites.
    You can send an enhancement request to Apple about it. Although it doesn't look to be set up for it, if you bring up your Menu Bar and go "Help > Report bugs to Apple", you can use that bug report form to ask for enhancements. I was skeptical about that to begin with, but apparently they check that for feature enhancement requests, according to the following document. (It's mentioned right down the very bottom.)

  • 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,

    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.

  • Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

    Hello Apple Forums,
    I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
    After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
    This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
    Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
    Cleared the following caches:
    System Local Computer Cache
    System VM (Swap) Files
    Curent User Cache
    Current User Icon Cache
    Internet Explorer Download Cache
    Page History
    Web Site Cache
    Temporary Files
    Safari Downloads List
    Form Values
    Page History
    Recent Searches
    Site Icons
    Web Site Cache
    User Cookies (used by Safari)
    Finder Recent Applications
    Recent Documents
    Recent Folders
    Recent Servers
    Recent Files of AppleWorks 6
    Disk Utility Disk Images
    Preview
    QuickTime Player Favorites/Recent
    REALbasic Projects
    TextEdit
    VideoLanClient
    and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads
    Acquisition Recent Searches
    MSN Conversation History
    Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
    All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
    In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
    As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
    What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
    What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
    Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
    IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
    I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
    Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
    The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
    What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
    What I have not done:
    Updated Prebinding
    Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
    Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
    Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
    To Summarize Possible Solution
    I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
    One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
    Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
    Hope It Helps!

    Hello tr:
    Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
    Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
    Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

  • How set Google Search to Google US on IE9 via GPO

    I have several servers hosted in the uk , that give US Users access to work , but when they use google search through IE, it uses Google UK not US, is there anyway to set search to US (default).

    Hi,
    So here we are in a domain environment? If yes, then do we have any DCs on the US side? How are the public IP settings assigned to the US side? Please also refer to the google search help page for the locations:
    Change your location on Google,
    We may consider to use IEM to set the US google the homepage and then link it only to the US
    site, regarding the detailed information for home page settings using GPO, please refer to the below links:

  • How do I re-set Google Search to my actual location? I can change back and forth in other browsers, but in Firefox my change is stuck on a different city and I cannot get it to change back.

    I changed my location in Google so I could do a search in another city. Then when I tried to change it back to my location, it stays stuck on the "other" city. I went into Google search settings and tried it on the search page and no changes were saved.
    I tried it on Chrome and Safari and had no problems going from one to another and having everything save as I wanted, yet in Firefox it does not change.

    User fonts, those not require by the OS, are in two locations;
    Mac HD/Library/Fonts
    ~/Library/Fonts
    I would see if the 11M+ fonts are in ~/Library/Fonts first. If so drag them to the Trash and restart.

  • Google search language in Safari toolbar

    I am having a strange problem. When I am searching using Google in the Safari toolbar the results have started to come back in another language (I think it may be Ukranian). Can anyone suggest how I might change the language back to English? I have checked all obvious settings are set to English and I have no idea how or why this changed in the first place. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.

    Hello,
    I have just installed the latest version of FF on my windows 7.
    When I search using google-search by either:
    1. Writing somethong in the adress bar and pressing enter
    2. Writing something in the search box (thats on the same line as the adress bar)
    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 make Google-search bar to go in to localised Google-search page?

    Hi!
    How do I change Google-toolbar search? In the Firefox 4.0 the Google-toolbar search was going to my localised Google page.
    I'm using Finnish version of Firefox and when I search with Google toolbar, it goes to english version of the Google page.
    example. I want to search from Google with language Finnish, type in some text in Google toolbar and it opens English version of the Google and results also are english-based.

    I have accidently double posted this (since I didn't see that the first time I tried it posted the question).

  • How to set default search engine in Firefox for Android?

    Hi. I want to set a non-Google search engine as the default in Firefox on Android. I have installed the search engine as an add-on and it is working fine, but I would like to use it as the default search, rather than having to select it each time.
    Couldn't find the answer on here or anywhere else.
    Please note this only relates to Android.

  • How to set Google to UK version

    Does anyone know how I can set the inbuilt Google search engine in Safari to search Google.co.uk instead of Google.com? I get too many non-UK resulst for my searches and I'd like to hone them down.
    Thanks!

    [ O.T ] however from reading other peoples posts it seems to be a more complicated problem than I was hoping for.
    Not that complicated, third party Safari enhancing apps, can make Safari crash when our os is update & the haxie is not. Flash, improperly updating... etc. Posting your crash could of been helpful.
    I may just use Firefox untill the next update comes out and see if that solves the problem. you also try Camino at www.caminobrowser.org made by Mozilla.
    Enjoy your intel mac.

  • Google search language in safari

    Hi all
    Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the language of google search in safari, when using the toolbar in the corner.
    I would like to switch from english to german. Does anbody have an idea?

    Have you gone to the gear wheel at the top right of the Google page and adjusted your Search Settings/Language appropriately?
    As much as you may prefer Safari, it does lack some features that other browsers have.

  • 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.
