Language setting affects E.g. web searches regardless of area setting

Hi there.
This is not so much a problem than just irritating, but I'd like to know if there's a fix for this issue.
I'm using an iPhone 5 and iPad 4th Gen. OS updated to newest (iOS 7.1.2)
I'm from and live in Finland. As a first language however, I speak both Swedish (another official language of this country) and Finnish. So naturally in order to keep my both first languages at a reasonably good level, I have chosen Swedish as my OS language, and Finland selected as my region. So far, so good, right?
Well, there's a small hitch here. The phone now assumes that I want only Swedish (the country, not the language) search results in my web searches, among other things. Say I write the name of any place, person, TV-show, movie, football team or any other non-language specific search, my hits will be those of Swedish websites first, then English, such as Wikipedia pages. Never a Finnish page.
Basically, the OS works as it should work for a Swede, but I'd like it to work for me as it should work for a Finn.
I wonder if this problem exists in other bi-/multilingual areas as well, which are many.
And of course I wonder if there's a setting I have missed or a fix for this.
Thanks in advance!

I think the order of languages in the Language page may determine this (region is probably irrelevant). Try making sure that the order is Swedish then Finnish (rather than Swedish then English, for example). This can be done by switching the device to Finnish and back to Swedish again.

How to use an iPad 2 for web search (via 3G only) while using AirPrint via Airoprt express wifi (NOT connected to the internet)

Heres the setup: I have an IOS 7 iPad 2 that I want to use 3G only for web searches/ emails while using an Airport Express generated wifi bubble (without any connected internett) to print web seraches via airprint to a wifi printer.
The problem: the ipad deafults to searching via the AE's wifi and vainly waits for the non existent interent to connect. It ignores the available 3G internet.
The workaround: a) turn off the AE's wifi, search the web via 3G b) once I have something to print, turn the wifi back on and print via airprint and the AE's wifi to the printer.
The question: Is there a way to turn off the AE's internet access. Using Airport utility, I have tried setting Bridge mode and static IPs to no avail. There is no turn-the-internet-off tick box.
In the ideal setup I would like the ipad 2 to search the web via 3G only (straight away versus waiting vainly for the AE to find it!!) and then print the results via the AE's wifi and airprint without having to toggle wifi on and off all the time.....
Thanks in advance,
Bill...

Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

Hi,
I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
I would instead do the following
1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
it
3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
Thanks and Regards,
Partha

How to use the set functions effectively in webi ,please let me know with detail

how to use the set functions effectively in webi ,please let me know with detail

Hi,
we use use set functions on heirarchies with aggregate functions mostly .
If you include member_set, Min returns the minimum value of the aggregated data for all members in the member set.
Member_set can include multiple sets separated by semicolons (;).
The list of member sets must be enclosed in {}.
If the member set expression does not specify a precise member or node, the hierarchy referenced must be present in the table, then the member set expression references the current member in the hierarchy in the table. If the hierarchy is not in the table, the function returns the message #MULTIVALUE.
Eg .
1)     Ancestor
=Sum([YTD] ; {Ancestor([Test Hierarchy];2)})
2)     IsLeaf
=[Test Hierarchy].IsLeaf
You can use this function when you want to show your Measure only at lower level .
3)     .Depth
=[Test Hierarchy].Depth
This is also function used with hierarchy to find Level of Members .
Follow this link for PDF reference .

Business catalyst site is not showing up on web searches

I built my site in Muse and published directly from Muse onto Adobe Business Catalyst. It has been a couple of months and this site is not showing up on web searches. I believe it has something to do with my Business Catalyst settings. Frustration has set in and I'm turning to this commuity to seek direction. The site is edgeadvertising.ca
Should I be looking at Googles webmaster tools?

Hi edgydoug1,
You have a challenging case since "Edge Advertising" appears to be a common business name with many other established websites for "Edge Advertising" or "Cutting Edge Advertising" businesses around the world.
First, I'm going to contradict Gaurav. I may be interpreting what I see on Google incorrectly, but it looks to me as though Google has indexed your site. It's a one page site. Correct?
A few things you'll want to do to improve the chances searchers will find your site:
1) Set the Page Title for your page in the Page Properties dialog. I recommend setting it to your business name. You might consider including Winnepeg in the page title, since that will increase the odds that someone looking for "Edge Advertising" in your area will find you, rather than the Edge Advertising in Washington, D.C., Tampa Bay, Fairport, NY, Houston Texas, etc.
2) You might consider putting your contact information where your copyright currently is.
3) Enter keywords for your page in the Page Properties dialog Metadata panel. Be sure to include Winnepeg and Manitoba (spelled out), along with your business name and the services you provide.
4) Pay special attention to where you apply h1, h2, h3 tags via paragraph styles. You should probably make the main "Edge Advertising" title the h1 for the page.
There are two primary factors to SEO, indexing and page ranking.
Indexing is about making sure your pages have content that corresponds to what your prospective customer will be searching for. This generally means choosing ~3 search phrases and doing what you can to be sure those phrases and the words in those phrases are used in your site. Your site has quite a bit of live text content, so you're probably doing well but you'll want to think about search phrases and see how well they correspond to words and phrases in your content.
With a single page site you're limited to a single page title and no filename for the HTML file (since it will be index.html), so you'll want to make sure the page title is good and you make good use of h1, h2, h3 tags. You may also want to add alt tags to your images (if you haven't already). And keywords in your metadata.
Page ranking is largely about the number of other sources (websites, twitter, facebook, blogs, etc.) that contain links into your site. If lots of other sites are referring to your site, your page ranking will be higher relative to other sites with similar page content.
Again, given the business name is not unique and many of the other businesses with the same name are likely to offer the same services, it's going to be difficult to differentiate your site to web searchers. You'll want to make sure the geographic location of your business is prominent along with the principals and anything else that may be unique to your business (that also known to web surfers).
Finally, when you make a change to your site, if you submit your sitemap.xml file to Google using Webmaster Tools it theoretically will encourage Google to re-index your site sooner, though there's no guarantees how long it will take.

I need address bar to be on firefox screen, its isn't just web search showing up

I need Address Bar to show on m y firefox screen. I just have web search on my screen, not Address Bar.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Spotlight no longer showing "web search" feature

Hello all,
I just upgraded to Yosemite and everything looks great so far except for 1 thing that I used a lot in previous OS X versions.
I used to open spotlight and type my internet (google) search there and just click on web search. Ever since I upgraded I can no longer find that feature although Its marked as checked under system preferences, spotlight, bring web searches.
Any help?
Thanks

you have to include system files in a search. they are excluded by default. enter command+f in finder to start finder search. click on "kind", scroll and click on "other". in the resulting popup select "system files" and change the setting to include them in the search. if you want to make this default see this macosx hint

When i type any letter on web search, earlier address appear. how to stop that?

when i open firefox there is an item on toolbar ie web search and before that there is some space in which one type any item to search on web. once that is finished and again when some other item is to be typed to search on web, we start with the first letter of that item or subject so to say. as soon as that that letter is typed, down below appears the the entire list of the items previously searched.how to stop appearing of earlier searched items?

You can do this by disabling form history.
# In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options dialog
# Select the Privacy panel
# Set "Firefox will" to "Use custom settings for history"
# De-select the setting "Remember search and form history"

How do i get rid of "Ask Web Search"?

This sometimes sneaks in with a Java update, since it is something you have to opt out of during that process.
This might seem like overkill, but I suggest a brief detour here:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program (or for XP Add/Remove Programs). After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(3) With the above removed, you can restore your own preferences. As applicable:
(A) Preferred search engine. Change the icon at the left end of the search bar. See: [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]].
(B) Home page. These articles have more details on how:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
(C) New Tab page. There's a hidden setting for this:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Success?

Are you talking about the spell checking? Or the keyboard layout? Safari, or some other browser?
For spellcheck, go to system prefs/language & text/text/spelling and set it to British English. Also go to system prefs/language & text/language and use the Edit button to add British English to the top of the list.

1. Type ‘about:config‘ and press enter.
2. You’ll see a warning page, click “I’ll be careful, I promise!”
2. Type ‘keyword.URL‘ in the filter text field.
You’ll notice the value is set to redirect to Alexa’s Search Engine.
