I wish to embed firefox search into my website and to control the search parameters.

Sirs,
I want a search tool on my website.
I want to be able to pre-set which sites it will search.
For example certain newspapers for related articles, or government online databases.
Can I do this with Firefox?

Make sure that you are using the '''"Remember History"''' setting as described in this article -> [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
Check and tell if its working.

  • When using the search bar, is it possible to get the search results in a new tab?

    In the old Google toolbar, it was possible to view the search results in a new tab. Google toolbar is compatible with Firefox 7, so I have to use the Firefox Search Bar. However, it always gets the search results in the current tab. Can this be modified?

    Yes. Open a new tab and type or paste ''about:config'' into the location bar, hit enter, and hit enter again to get past the warning. Then paste ''browser.search.openintab'' into the filter box that shows, then double-click on the ''browser.search.openintab'' line to toggle it (it will switch to bold).
    If you'd rather an addon just do the above for you and add a menu option for it, try this:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchontab/
    Alternatively, you can type a search into the search bar and press ''alt+enter'' instead of just enter to open your search in a new tab.

  • The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service

    I have upgraded from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2010. So far everything appears to be OK apart from my search.
    When I attempt a search I get the following:
    The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
    I checked the Manage Database Update Status in Central Admin and noticed the following(an upgrade is required):
    Also, I checked Manage Services on Server and noticed that the only search related service is 'SharePoint Foundation Help Search'.
    If I go into Manage Service Applications and click new there is no option to add a search service.
    Finally I tried PSConfig:
    PS C:\Users\administrator.ACHESON> PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force
    -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures

    Hi,
    SharePoint Foundation the search service should be installed by default.  It's not the same as with 2010 Standard or Enterprise where you can create a "Service Application" for it.
    Follow this article to configure SharePoint Foundation Search:
    http://plexhosted.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-configure-sharepoint-foundation.html
    Meanwhile, here is a thread which discusses the similar question:

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
    * Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
    * Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
    -> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.sessionhistory.max_entries'''

    Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

  • I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?

    I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
    How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

    Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
    6 Easy Steps to Remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox:
    1. Click on the "inverted triangle" located to the right of the orange Bing icon.
    2. Select the option "Manage Search Engines...". (A pop-up window will appear titled "Manage Search Engine List.)
    3. Select "Bing".
    4. Click the "Remove" button.
    5. Select the desired search engine from the list.
    6. Click "OK"
    All Done.... :-)
    Happy Searching...

    You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
    Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
    If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

  • I asked firefox to remeber a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

    I asked Firefox to remember a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

    The left side of the address bar contains a button you can click to get information about that site. The button usually has a little mini-icon for the site and (if it's an encrypted site) the site's name. When you are on the site in question, click that button then click the "More Information" button on the dialog that appears. Alternatively, you can use the Tools menu and click "Page Info". Once you do that (either way) click the "Security" tab at the top and you will be able to click a button to view saved passwords for that site. Delete the incorrect password from that list. You can then log off the site and log back on to have Firefox offer to remember the new password.

    Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I have followed all the directions I can find, on my computer and Firefox Support. Still, the same message comes up, and "firefox" is not shown in my Windows Task Manager.
    What can I do?

    Delete the profiles.ini file and let Firefox create a new default profile.
