Why is my internet search page gray? I am able to search a topic, but the 'results' part of the screen is a medium gray color and it won't respond. Any ideas?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When I open a new tab, an internet search option pops up that Idid not OK or install. I can't find where to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When I open a new tab, I just want it to be blank. I think it may be hijacked but I can't find how to delete/erase the internet search that pops up instead. It's called internet search and just has a magnifying glass as a logo.

Clearing the cache fixed this for me. Before doing this though, I HIGHLY recommend booting into safe mode (assuming you are using Windows) and run the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php].
UPDATE: Well...that worked for a while. That page is back. I still recommend scanning your machine if you have not yet done so.
UPDATE 2: I've found that the application causing the issue is "Cartoonly", which you should see as an extension. You can't remove it from Firefox, you can only disable it. Search your entire computer for "Cartoonly" (even if you have ran MBAM as suggested above) and delete EVERYTHING having to do with that garbage. Your new tabs should be clean and the extension should be gone as well. :)

How do I change my internet searches on my i5S back to US extensions from UK?

Hello, I can't seem to get my iphone 5S to switch back to US internet searches, everything has a .UK extension...my region format is US, Language English...what am I missing?

Open Safari, then go to Preferences. You can change the default browser in those settings.

First Do we need to download a browser for internet search in i3???

How to download OS X Mavericks for free? ... i tried apps but it asks for bank details. I did internet search but it refers me back to Apple Apps. I hope you can help me. TQ

I want to update my Macbook 2010 and am advised OS X Mavericks is free, but when i go to Apple Apps it asks my banking details.
I have never purchased an App (yet). I did an internet search for answer and it also sais FREE but when i open the link it takes me back to Apple Apps.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.

You must have an Apple ID and an iTunes/App Store account that will request credit card information. In order to download free apps: Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card. Please read it very carefully.

Hi everyone! I turned on my computer the other day and the icon for Safari was missing from my dock. I looked in the applications folder and it is no longer there. Does anyone know how I can get safari if I have no internet search engine?

How did you post here?

Getting the "Internet Search" box when opening an email in AOL. The AOL email blinks and then I get the "Internet Search".

Problem with reading AOL emails. When I try to read an AOL email (old or new) the AOL email appears for a split second and then I get an "Internet Search" box and cannot see the email.
I had read that some have seen a similar problem getting a Bing Search box and they were able to delete that add on to correct it, but I have no add ons at all.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Internet search pages are at top of screen. How do I remove them?

After updating my ipad2, my Internet search pages are listed at the top of the screen. How do I remove them and pipit them where they used to be?

If you mean tabbed browsing in Safari that is on iOS 5 on the iPad as opposed to the thumbnail browsing from iOS 4 then you can't, that is how it now works. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and see if we get a choice in a future iOS update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Internet search engine

hello iam trying to get the simple Java applet that searches multiple Internet search engines. can any one help me
how to do in simple way....

Hi,
Please go through the above site you will find excellent codes.
Anyhow here is the sample Applet Search engine code.

// v1.5 Home Page Search applet
// 15th February 1998
* This applet provides search facilities for Web sites with no CGI access

* under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the

/* Applet parameters:
* This applet takes two parameters
* a. hostname, the name of the Demon Home Page (e.g babbage). The name is
* converted to lower case and used to create the URL of the
* pages to search i.e. http://www.<hostname>.demon.co.uk.
* (this parameter is required for Demon Internet users
* only)
* b. IPaddress, the corresponding IP address for the Home Page. I plan to
* use it as it will allow the search applet to run from
* behind a firewall. Demon have stated in the HomePage AUP
* that the IP address should not be directly used. I do not
* recommend its use (the www.babbage.demon.co.uk IP address
* has already changed once)
* (this parameter is optional)
* c. maxSearch, the maximum number of pages to search. If your site is vast
* then the search will take a long time so people will give
* up. This parameter limits the number of pages to be searched
* to a sensible value reducing the search time (but also
* reducing its usefullness)
* (this parameter is optional. Defaults to 100)
* d. debug, this parameter is for my use. Set to true to display
* parameter and debug information.
* (this parameter is optional)
* e. server, this parameter allows the search applet to be used on non-
* Demon home pages. This parameter should point to the name
* of the site, e.g "http://www.myisp.com/me/" (note use of
* trailing "/" character.
* (this parameter is required for Non-Demon Internet users)
* f. indexName, this parameter allows the search applet to be used on non-
* Demon home pages. This parameter should point to the name
* of the index page (e.g home.htm). If not set then
* "index.htm" ot "index.html" is asummed.
* (this parameter is optional)
* g. bgColour, The background colour for the applet in RGB hex format
* (rrggbb). The default is light grey.
* h. fgColour, The foreground colour for the applet in RGB hex format
* (rrggbb). The default is black.
* Example of applet use on a Demon Home Page - www.babbage.demon.co.uk
* <APPLET CODE="HomePageSearch.class" WIDTH=650 HEIGHT=400>
* <PARAM NAME="hostname" VALUE="babbage">
* Sorry but the Search applet requires a Java aware
* Web browser 
* </APPLET>
* Example of applet use on a non-Demon Home Page - www.myisp.co.uk/fred/
* and the "index" page is called home.htm
* <APPLET CODE="HomePageSearch.class" WIDTH=650 HEIGHT=400>
* <PARAM NAME="server" VALUE="http://www.myisp.co.uk/fred/">
* <PARAM NAME="indexName" VALUE="home.htm">

/* Modification history
* xxxx 12th February - alpha version
* v0.9 19th February - first beta version
* v0.91 26th February - tidy up
* - added maxSearch functionality
* - added debugMode parameter
* v0.92 03rd March - added server and indexname parameters to
* allow use on non-Demon home pages
* v0.93 09th March - fixed bug with lowercase filenames
* added case insensitive/sensitive/match whole
* word functionality
* v0.94 12th March - fixed bug which resulted in "cannot connect"
* error on non-demon sites.
* v0.95 15th March - Removed some uses of debugMode. Server parameter
* can be set to http://localhost/ to simulate this.
* - Added support for working behind proxy servers/
* firewalls. This uses the IP Address rather than
* the hostname of the server for connections.
* v0.96 17th March - Corrected code to parse HREFs. It was not
* understanding framed format or spaces.
* - Match whole word not working properly
* - HREF="http://server/" was not being followed
* correctly
* v0.97 20th March - fixed bug where incorrect page name was being
* displayed for a match. This was due to the use
* of a global variable for the page name. As the
* stack unwound then this variable was lost. Stack
* used to stored page name instead.
* v0.98 23rd March - if match found on index page (using HTTP) then URL to
* jump to was created incorrectly.
* v0.99 25th March - allow to be resized < 600 pixels
* allow handling of links such as
* "/www/page.html"
* v1.0 8th April - Added bgColour, fgColour applet parameters
* Set default of 100 for maximum number pages to search
* Added option menu for number of pages to search
* Allow handling of framed links such as
* <FRAME SRC="framepage.html">
* v1.1 18th April - Display Page title rather than page name in list of
* matches.
* If match found on index page (using FILE://) then
* URL to jump to was created incorrectly.
* Broke the <= 600 pixels code by adding the "Max
* Pages" option menu. Size of buttons adjusted to
* allow all widgets to be display in < 600 pixles
* v1.2 9th May - Removed hard limits by using vectors rather than
* arrays.
* Search the index page and index page links first.
* Added internalisation support for titles. A subset
* of the special character entity names (e.g è)
* are converted into Unicode characters so that they
* are displayed correctly.
* Fixed bug - "match word" did not match the last word
* on a line.
* v1.3 8th July - Bug fix release
* Links with single quotes e.g
* Test Page
* were not being searched
* fgColour and bgColour only worked with UNIX browsers!
* Fixed to allow useage with MS Windows browsers,
* although due to limitations in Win32 AWT the colour
* of buttons and their text cannot be changed.
* v1.4 4th August - Bug fix release
* Single quote HREF fix in v1.3 broke some normal
* HREF link code (no </A> on same line as HREF).
* v1.5 15th February - Applet now searches .txt files
* Fixed bug for demon internet users who use index
* pages other than index.htm and index.html
* Added further lower case localisation support

Can you test my internet search agent?

Hi.
I've written a program that aids finding information that might be relivent to your intrests in JAVA. It's a client side application that isn't like any search apps I've seen since all they do is query search engine.
My app called S.I.R.A (Spidering Information Retrieval Agent) learns what you are interested in and while you browse the internet using IE or Netscape it will make suggestion of webpages that might be of interest. These suggestions can easily be ignored if you are busy reading a webpage or can be clicked on to go to that page.
The program is still at beta stage, but I would really appriciate feedback on how effective and useful you find it. Download it from :- www.padownes.fsnet.co.uk
I believe it works well along side with search engines ( but then again I would say that I wrote it).
The program is free to download and is for educational purposes.
Grateful for your time and opinions.
Regards
Phil
PS. I would be grateful if you could let me know if you are going to test it so that I can find out the spec of your machine.

Thanks for testing it. I didn't set any settings myself. I just used the default quicktime pro's export movie to ipod setting, so I have no idea about all the multi-pass vbr stuff. Anyway, thank you again for testing it for me.
If you used the QT Pro Export or iMovie Share Expert "Movie to iPod (320x240)" no setting option, then that is a high-quality, multi-pass preset. (There are two other possible QT Pro/FCX/FCP Export or iMovie Share options than can possibly be used with "manual" settings.) In any case, if this was the result of a 2-pass conversion, would recommend you not use whatever filter was applied to this test. For such a small screen it tends to generate artifacts that resemble the output of a file converted from a really poor quality source. Assume the filter looks much better in a larger screen format.

Why is Yahoo screening my internet searches and denying me access to websites like parts of CBC?

Why is it that yahoo has started filtering my internet usage? I get messages like:
"We did not find results for thumbnail cbc because SafeSearch is active and your query contains some restricted word(s). Try the suggestions below or type a new query above.
To search for thumbnail cbc, change your SafeSearch preferences."
I do not use yahoo for anything! Yahoo has been denying me access to certain websites that I've been accessing for a long time. This used to only seem to affect some video content, now I'm having problems accessing all kinds of websites. Is this a virus? How do I get rid of this? The only solution I have found is to use internet explorer and I much prefer firefox!

If you see the problem with Fireox but not with Internet Explorer, then it does seem to be a Firefox related problem, rather than say globally installed software or something to do with your Internet Provider.
I note in the UK (Great Britain) new connections to Internet Providers now offer porn etc filters.
Two possibilities I immediately think of are
# You have not installed a standard Mozilla version of Firefox but have used a third party, modified build.
#* In which case do a clean install, deleting program files (NOT profile files)
#*Obtain an installer for an official version from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ see [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox]]'''_5-reinstall-firefox'''
# You are using Yahoo without knowing it or you have some other software filtering search results
#* Please attach a screenshot of the problem See [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] You will need to use a compressed image type such as often used elsewhere on the web: .jpeg or .png types not a large bitmap image.

Spotlight doesn't do internet search

just installed the new os x and i find spotlight is great but i tried the web search like in wikipedia , google ,movies and maps it doesn't show in search , only the dictionary and apps ..
the internet works greatly. , any solution ?

US proxy connection, I guess?
It needs it for movie searches, places and other stuff. Not sure why doesn't show Wikipedia searches though.
And, even if you were located at the other end of the world and you were looking for a place or a restaurant or a movie that you know that should be in the US, it's still kinda stupid not to show that information to you, just because you can't watch that movie or actually go to that restaurant. Maybe you just want to see the movie poster. Or some reviews of that restaurant. It's like you wouldn't be able to access the menu of a Chinese restaurant cause you're not Chinese, or you're not in China. Maybe you want to plan your trip in advance and you need that information before you actually get on a plane to the US.
Stupid decisions.

How to change internet-search browser?

My standard internet browser is chrome, however, when I use the "search the internet" option upon right clicking a word in my iBook, Safari is automatically launched for the search. How do I change these settings?
Thanks in advance
Nikolaj

You can't.

Why is my internet search timing out ?

when i go on the internet to any web site, it times out and cannot load . what is needed to be done ?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
