(Mavericks) Safari 7.1.5 history and google search

If I click on a link on a google search result page, then the google search is not in history anymore.
It is annoying.

Click "History" in the Safari menu bar and then "Search Results SnapBack".

My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google), Opera, or Mozilla Firefox. I already did the "Reset Safari", restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete.

My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google). Opera and Mozilla Firefox won't load any sites whatsoever. I already did the "Reset Safari" several times, restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete. I virus scanned the computer with Sophos, Avast, and iAntiVirus and it looks clean.

Is iAntiVirus the best virus protection to use for a MacBook?
The best anti-virus protection is your own common sense, and what you already bought and paid for with your Mac. Third party products such as "iAntiVirus" convey no additional benefit, and as you already determined are very capable of causing trouble.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

I just installed ios8 on my ipad3 and now I can't exit out of the last search using Safari and Google search

I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

Missing address and google search space

Hi, all -
Well, I must have hit a strange key combo. I have lost the address and google search "buttons" on the safari address bar. Safari works, I just can't navigate to non-bookmarked areas.
What's the simplest solution? I tried downloading a new safari, and it says I don't have the right OS, but my OS is newer than what is required. I found "com.apple.safari.plist" and got it on my desktop, but couldn't make anything happen, and now I don't know where to go to put it back where it belongs.
Thanks for your patience.

higbini,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Choose: Safari>View>Customize Address Bar...>Drag your favorite item into the toolbar...(Address and Search) to regain the use of these two items.

SAFARI 6: how do I clear Google search history?

There used to be an option at the bottom of the scroll down search bar for CLEAR SEARCH.
Now that Safari 6 has adopted the single info bar, that option seems to have disappeared.
So how do I clear search history?
I don't want to clear all history (i.e. sites visited),
just search history.

Thank you,
but the point of my question was precisely that in 2012,
the way that Google is presented within Safari is different
(e.g., there is now just a single search bar),
so some of the info on the old threads is no longer relevant.
That is why I titled the qustion clearly "SAFARI 6".
However, I have discovered the answer myself.
I think I was being just too impatient.
The same option of CLEAR RECENT SEARCHES does come up
if you click and hold on the magnifying glass icon to the left of what is now the single Google search bar.
This click and hold opens a roll-down menu, and near the bottom is the CLEAR RECENT SEARCHES option.

Problems with History after Google search in Safari

I've noticed recently that after I have searched on Google, any page that I have found linked in the Google search and visited only appears in my Safari History as a Google referal link, e.g.:
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=apple%20compressor%20mkv&source=web&cd= 1&ved=0CD0QrAIoAjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscussions.apple.com%2Fthread%2F3001472%3 Fstart%3D0%26tstart%3D0&ei=McjRUJKBBYLC0QWQ1oCQAg&usg=AFQjCNFRmEQy2X9rGesiSE4WXE u4CsYgcw&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.d2k
So, in actual fact, if I am looking for the page using keywords in my URL/Search bar, the page does not appear as a suggestion under Bookmarks and History - which is a bit annoying because I then have to repeat the Google search and try to identify the link from the results.
Is this a 'feature' or is there something I can do to revert to Safari's previous behaviour?

Just for clarification, this is what my History looks like after I have Googled the word 'spoon' and then clicked on the first ten links and opened the pages.
Unusually, there is one item in this instance (the MySpace URL) which has not done what I described but as can be seen, the rest have.

Safari and google search

Hi Guys
I have strange problem with searching google with Safari.
Try to search any thing you want, I will call it "Search string 1" and feel free to click on any link then go back to the your google search page either by pressing back button or the gesture. Now try to do the same thing with another search criteria which I call it "Search String 2".
NOW here is the problem:
When you click on any result for "Search string 2" and go back to your google search page, you will see the "Search string 1" in the google search textbox BUT the results are for "Search string 2".
Very wired.
any idea??
Thank you

That's nice my post helps resolving your problem.
How is... actually I don't know exactly.
But we (I mean Japanese) always have got problem with functions which automatically do something during typing.
We always need change word from how I type to how I want by IME(Input Method Editor) because we have 3 different type of characters.
(see this Youtube if you have a time, maybe you could imagine what I talk about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYVKT-TWB8A)
So that kind of functions are really difficult to apply for Japanese services.
And I have experience trying early beta of Google Instant Search, and remember that behavior was awful for Japanese. (now much better)
Then I've got this problem, that idea suddenly crossed me which the cause of problem might be Google Instant Search, JavaScript for the search might be cause something bad for BACK operation.
Just like that.

Clear recent search history in google search bar

Would someone know how to clear the recent search history in the Google search bar? There is no option for clearing the recent search, I think that was eliminated. I cleared the cache, in Safari, but that doesn't clear the google search bar. Is there an option? TIA.

Viewing search history in google search bar

I used to be able to view recent searches in the google search bar and now it is not there. it would also do a sort of instant search as i typed. what is going on and how do i get it to come back?
OSX Lion; Safari 5.1

I have the same problem and found this somewhat helpful "workaround" on the Google site:
Google Toolbar Known Issues
When you attempt a search from the search box on your Toolbar it may not allow you to select items from your drop-down list of web history or search suggestions.
As a workaround, try using your keyboard to navigate the drop-down list to select your web history or search suggestions.

How do I get my iPhone safari browser to open oh the google search page

I feel like such an idiot. This is probably a silly question but don't know how to phrase it so I can search the community boards. Anyway, when I first got my phone and opened safari, there were several options one of which was Google. I've messed with my phone and that page has disappeared and I can't seem to find it agai. And want safari to open to the google search page. Help please

You can't set a home page on Safari on the iPhone. However, you can put a shortcut to the page you want on the Home Screen of your phone. Navigate to the page you want (i.e. the Google search page). Then, tap on the icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it. Select "Add to Home Screen". Then, instead of using the Safari Icon, you'll use the shortcut and it will always take you to the Google search page.
Best of luck.

Iweb 08 AND google search???

Hey, I hope someone can help me. 1st off, I don't know much about page design and all that stuff. I know a little, but please simple terms.
I'm thinking of making a page in Iweb, however, I want my page to be indexed and search easy if someone should try to find my site on google. I have heard 2 stories.
1) if you make your website in iweb, don't expect to get much trafic as google probably wont find it or pick it up. SO for small business, iweb is NOT the way to go
2) Google will find your site if you add google maps and google products to your site.
I just want the world to know my site!!! But if google can't pick it up..or is unlikely to pick it up...then what's the point? Can someone please help??

With iWeb '08 you have the option to publish to a local folder to add tags and upload to MobileMe by drag and drop to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
By doing this, you do lose some of the functions of iWeb as you will see in the Help files.
There's a lot of good reasons why you shouldn't rely on MobileMe for a business site but, if you have to use it, you can still get search engine attention.
You need to follow the steps in the section of iWeb for Musicians that I mentioned above and use your MobileMe URL to allow Google etc to get to your sitemap.
Its also more or less essential to build your own navigation menu rather than use the default iWeb one.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/Navigation.html
.... and follow the guidelines to get your site to load on a PC running Internet Explorer .....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebandInternetExplorer.html
... if you want most of the rest of the world to be able to see your website.

Spry Accordion panels and Google search

Hello! I have about 30 pages with at least 15 spry accordion
panels on each. I've just implemented a local customized google
search and it looks like Google is able to pull pretty accurate
search on both the panels and panels content.
Once presented with the search results, can a user get to an
OPEN accordion panel, that relates to his search? I hope I've
explained it clearly, THanks!

Yes, this happens because all of the content is on the page.

I've seen some scripts that highlight Google search terms, so
I suppose that getting the search terms on the destination page is
possible, but making that leap to the proper panel to open may be a
little more difficult.
First you have to figure out which panel the words are
in,then you have to figure out what if the user is searching for
three terms and each of those terms is in a different panel, or if
only one term, and that term is in multiple panels? How would you
expect that work out?
You can highlight the words using code such as that discussed
on this page:
http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/searchhi/
I'd guess that someone could reverse that code that finds the
text and then take that find and then walk up the DOM tree to see
if you are within an accordion panel and then show that panel as
the default panel on the page.

Flickr pages and Google search result pages are smaller

When I go to a Flickr page or a Google search result page, the entire page is smaller. Content is the same, but the fonts and images are smaller.

To start with, try pressing holding down Ctrl and then pressing 0 ( Zero). That will reset your zoom if you have zoomed out.

Firefox 4 and Google search

When i upgraded to FF4, the first thing i noticed was the new look to my home page. then i did a search. that's when i discovered that by upgrading, FF changed some of my default settings. the default search engine is now yahoo! Geez! if i had to reset my default settings just to update/upgrade for all the software that i have on my computer, i would... after reading some other's thoughts, i'd have to say that mozilla firefox released version 4 just a little too soon.

Cheers - other 3.6.13 downloads I've tried all come up as 'file corrupted'.
Would stil like to know why the problem with Google search not completing and if I can resolve this on version 4.0...

Earthlink and Google search bar

Greetings,
I love Firefox! When I log into my personal start page at Earthlink, and then scroll down the page, the Google search box is locked at the top of the page and if I try to use the arrow keys to scroll down, the Google search box responds by displaying the past Google searches and then scrolling down the list.
Is there some way to disable this behavior?
Thanks for your help!

Does your Earthlink page show any options to change that?
There's no built-in feature of Firefox to prevent scripts from locking the position of an element to the top of the window, or moving the cursor where it likes. You probably would need an add-on to "hack" the page and either block the script from loading, or defeat/undo what it does. (Not impossible, but would take some hands on tinkering to accomplish.)
