In earlier versions, the URL Bar had this feautre where you could type in certain key words or phrases and it would take you to the relevant site directly, much like Google's "I'm feeling lucky" feature.

Say for example you typed in "wiki democracy" in earlier Firefox versions it would directly take me to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy
But now it gives me a ordinary Google search
http://www.google.co.in/search?q=wiki+democracy&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Another example would be say type in "imdb shawshank".
Earlier: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/
Now: http://www.google.co.in/search?q=imdb+shawshank&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
I hope you see how the earlier feature was neater and better.

  • Before i did not have to type a full address for a website to come up, just a key word e.g. "Firefox" would take me to mozilla, "google" would take me to google... now I get "File not Found" and rather have to type a full URL address, why is this?

    File not found

  • The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library.  I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.

    The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library.  I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.
    Please advise where this is in the new version?

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

    I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?

    Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.

  • In the previous version of FF I could type a term in the address bar and it would auto open that website, now it just performs a google search. Is that a setting I can adjust or is it not available anymore?

    In the previous version of FF I could type a term in the address bar and it would auto open that website, now it just performs a google search. Is that a setting I can adjust or is it not available anymore?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # 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
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
    [http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=]
    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer.

    While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID to share it with someone else. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer. Months ago when I would e-mail myself the url all I had to do was click on the link in the e-mail and it took me right to the specific podcast in iTunes. Now it only opens iTunes and I can't figure out how to find the specific one. What good is the e-mail tab on the iPhone if it doesn't connect you to the podcast you sent?

    Same here. I just posted a question too.

  • My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

    my iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

  • Has anyone else ever had a problem where you had to perform 2 datasocket writes before the datasocket read would pick up the change?

    I have a local VI that is simply a control that writes to the datasocket server whenever the control value changes.(the dataitem on the server is permanent - its initialized and never released by the server)
    In the same local VI I have a datasocket read polling a different dataitem on the server.
    The remote machine has a VI that reads the permanent dataitem on the server once per second.
    For some reason, after adding the local VI mentioned above, the remote VI stopped picking up the first change in the permanent variable.
    I'd start both the local and remote VIs...
    Then change the local control and the remote V
    I would not update - as if the datasocket write(upon adjusting the control) did not take place. So I'd change the control value again - this time the remote VI would update to this new value. And from here on out - the remote VI would update correctly. This problem only occurs when the local VI is first started up.
    What in the heck is going on?

    Gorka is right, this came up on Info-LV a few days ago. Someone
    described a similar problem. I replied that I had seen similar
    behaviour, reported it to NI, and they verified a bug. There is no fix
    yet, but they are aware of it and will fix it. No anticipated release
    date for the fix.

  • Getting URL redirects from Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" Search

    Hello all! I'm working on my final project for my intermediate programming class but I've hit a bit of a snag. This project is a "do whatever interests you, as long as it incoporates what we've learned this semester" type of project. (My personal favorite type of programming project!) I have a significant amount of code already complete, but here's my problem:
    To put it simply, my program:
    1) Takes a list of movie names
    2) Gets the movie poster from Wikipedia
    3) Saves the poster images to a folder
    4) Creates an HTML file, so I can see a visual representation of every movie on the list (btw, how do you like my idea?).
    I'm using (what I think to be) a very clever system of searching with Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" search (using detailed search terms such as "air+force+one+movie+wikipedia" that will, more than likely, always take me to the right page (if it exists))...
    Basically, my getPic(String url) method is now throwing an exception when I try to search the page that Google redirects me to, and I'm guessing it might be because the code is trying to search the "I'm Feeling Lucky" redirect page, instead of the page it is supposed to redirect to.
    I get the following error:
    10000 BC
    A connection to http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=10000+bc+movie+wiki could not be established.
    java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=10000+bc+movie+wiki
         at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)
         at java.net.URL.openStream(Unknown Source)
         at GetWikiPiki.getPic(GetWikiPiki.java:44)
         at MovieList.makeMovieList(MovieList.java:109)
         at MakeMovieList.main(MakeMovieList.java:13)(Etc, with all the movies giving the same exception.)
    If my guess is correct, could someone please inform me on how to either:
    a) Follow the redirection from Google to the Wikipedia page or
    b) Obtain the URL which the Google search will redirect me to.
    Preferably b, so I can program it not to need to recreate each movie search every time the program runs.
    Or if you have another idea of what it could be, please feel free to make suggestions.
    Thanks a lot,
    Derek

    When I tried printing the source of, for example, http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=10000+bc+movie+wiki it gave me the source code to the Wikipedia 10,000 BC page with no errors at all.
    Does this mean that it could be something wrong in my code and not Google?
    Here is the code I'm using in the particular section that throws an exception:
          * Gets the image address of a movie poster from Wikipedia via
          * parsing the passed-in URL.
          * @param url The website address (URL) of a Wikipedia article containing a movie poster.
          * @return The first occurrence, in "picture_name.jpg" format, of an
          * image whose address contains "http://" and ".jpg".
    public String getPic(String url) {
              try {
                   URL connection = new URL(url);
                   InputStream in = connection.openStream();
                   Scanner console = new Scanner(in);
                   while(console.hasNext()) {
                        String temp = console.next();
                        if(temp.contains("http://") && temp.contains(".jpg")) {
                             String temp2 = temp.replace("src", "").replace("=", "").replace("\"", "");
                             return temp2;
              catch(IOException e) {
              System.out.println("A connection to " + url + " could not be established.");
              e.printStackTrace();
              return null;
         }{code}
