My google search results are displayed shortened in firefox

Hello, my name is Timothy White, and I use FireFox almost exclusively as my browser and I noticed some months back that my google search results for the "shopping" engine suddenly became shortened. That is to say that depending on what I search for, I have only 2-4 or so columns of results displayed. The weirdest part is if I change the results to be displayed by price rather than by relevance, I often receive totally different results that were not displayed before.
Naturally, I harassed the google technical help twice before I received an answer, which was that they had no idea what I was talking about. Thinking that this may not be a problem on their end, I mirrored my search results in Internet Explorer as well, and found that IE gave me many pages of results. Changing the sorting there, gave me the same first 2 or 3 pages FireFox displayed, followed by ll the rest.
So FireFox is somehow cutting off the product searches after a certain number of results. I searched google (on IE now of course), and your technical help database to see if anyone else had this problem, and as far as I know, its a new one. Either that or you guys are playing a cruel trick on me, which I hope is not true, or I am going completely crazy, which I really, really hope is not true either.
So, are there any ideas why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if you need any more info. Thanks,
~Tim

Search results are not accurate

hi,
am facing a unique issue in SP 2013. Whenever we search for a search criteria the results returned is not accurate always. Every time we navigate across pages, the search results change which is not
a desired behavior. However we also noticed that the refiner panel does not change as well and it retains the old count which leads to inconsistent results when user selects a criteria from the refiner.
any pointers / helpful links regarding this issue, if any anyone has surfaced, is highly appreciated!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that search results are not accurate.
I recommend to run a full crawl and then to check whether the search results are correct.
If your incremental crawl is running, it may happen that, when you are viewing the data in the search result web part, the newly added content are not crawled yet.
So, after the content are updated, wait for some time.
Let your incremental crawl finish. Then view the results on the page.

Cannot open Google search results in tab\same window\new window

Google search results are not opening in the new tab\same window\new window. 
It is happening only in Firefox, Internet explorer. It is working fine in chrome. 
I have tried many solutions like 
1. cleared cache, history,everything from browser's, still no result. 
2. opened in safe mode, no result. 
3. unchecked hardware acceleration, still no result. 
4. Other search engines it is working fine, only problem with Google search engine. 
5. Tried changing my DNS (Google open DNS, others), no result. 
6. Checked with antivirus blocking, nothing is blocking. 
7. Reinstalled browsers(Firefox, explorer) no result. 
8. Tried with different versions of browsers, including the latest updates ( Firefox,explorer), no result. 
9. while disabling Java in about:config it is working in Firefox. 
Please help me on this issue. 
Thanks in advance.

Google normally routs the result link to their safe browsing testing service via an onmousedown event that modifies the link (href attribute) if you click it once.
You can check if this bookmarklet makes a difference:
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('#search a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

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.

Google search results acting are not showing up right after FF update

So after I updated FF from 12 to 13 my Google search results have been weird whether I search from the homepage, tool bar or from Google.com. For example if I were to search " Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki" you would expect the Wikipedia page for the show to be the first result but this is what ends up showing up:
[http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8020/firefoxproblem2.jpg Image of search results]
But if I were to search in Private Browsing mode this is what I get:
[http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/9794/firefoxproblem.jpg Private browsing search]
Same search yet it yields to different results and I tried it in IE and Chrome and the search is working just fine in both of those as well. The problem seems to only be when I search for something in FF normally.
If anyone can shed some light into why this is happening I would be grateful, since I prefer FF to anything else.

you could try to [[Clear the cache - Delete temporary Internet files to fix common website issues|clear the cache]] & [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer|cookies from google.com]] and reload the page.

Google Search Result Window Duplicating

Just recently at home and work computers (iMac G4s, OS 10.4.2 and Safari 2.0) Google search windows are duplicating. I have Google prefs set to open search results in new browser windows and when it does it now changes the 'back' window that has the Google search to display the same as the window with the results. This doesn't happen if I open the 'results' window behind the Google search window (Apple-Option-click) instead of in front of the search window (click). Weird.

Gets more interesting.
It seems to be the way Google has the pages set up. If I click on a main advertizer - the links at the top of the page that are highlighted with a light blue background, or the links on the right side of the page - the new page and the original page behave correctly.
If you click on a link that is in the main area the "Search Window Duplication" thingy happens.
Google has updated it's code recently so my guess is that this is NOT a Safari bug. Hopefully it will get addressed soon.

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

Safari 5.0.2 doesn't save any more google search results in the history.

Hello together,
Safari doesn't save any more google search results in the history.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) go to google.com
2.) search for "APPLE"
3.) open the history
Result: the search for "APPLE" is not saved - only the Google mainpage.
This has something to do with the new search string in the Location bar. Safari does not save URL with /#.
For example:
the new string is http://www.google.de/#hl=...
the old one is: http://www.google.de/search?hl=....
The change must something to do with the new Google-Search-Feature. When I deactivate it, then google works with the old string and I found the searches in the history.
The second negative effect is, when you type "apple" into the location bar (after a search), the autocomplete shows the search result, but when you hit enter, you are redirected to the Google-Mainpage.
Very annoying
Can somebody confirm.
Thanks

How Do I Change Google Search Results in Safari 3.1?

I travel a lot. Currently I'm in India. When I was using Safari 3.0, the Google Search Bar search results were always from google.com. Now that I've upgraded to 3.1, the search results are from google.co.in.
How do I get the search bar to give me .com results again?

Unless they've changed it in the past year, the auto-complete on Inquisitor was a deal-breaker. It kept on completing words that I didn't want to type.
Inquisitor has changed a lot over the past year. I used to use AcidSearch. This has it beat hands down.
Unless directed otherwise, I believe Google adapts the search function to your location based on the IP. Hence, the "Indian search".
Back to Inquisitor, one picture is worth a thousand words.

As of this morning, I am being redirected to uk.gomeo when i click on google search results in Safari. Do I have a virus?

Hi,
First time poster and very non-techy person here. I am being redirected to urls starting "uk.gomeo..." when clicking on Google search results in Safari. Quick search on this seems to suggest I have a virus. Not sure what to do or how to get rid of it. Not sure what could have caused it either. Downloaded Acrobat update couple of days ago which took hours, and Twitter account was hacked about a week ago. All software updates up to date. Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry editing that way doesn't work anymore in Lion. But you can look and see if there are any google entries in it. If there are not any google entries you can ignore my posts. If there are try this:
Open terminal
sudo nano /etc/hosts
When prompted for the sudo password - The correct password is your own (the password of the user logged into OS X, also the password you provide when doing system updates and so on).
now you can delete the line(s) that contain google and save.
Using your arrow keys go to the line containing google. Delete the line. Do the same for all lines containig google.
if you have a problem deleting, do a control-x to exit, and reply n to the modified buffer question. To save your changes do a control-o and hit enter , then do a control-x to quit.
Note: normally you never edit the hosts file, but if you see google entries in it then a malware programs has added them. It has been happening with a bogus flash update, that installs flash and asks for your system password. SOmething that seem quite normal when installing software. This bogus flash update makes the hosts modifications adding their own IP adrress for google.

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Info on Google search results

Hey Guys,
Google search results sometimes come back with extra
information just below the name of the web site; for example, if
you Google the word 'evosport', along with the web address you get
information such as this:
Products - www.evosport.com/product/
Contact - www.evosport.com/contact/
Motorsport - www.evosport.com/motorsport/
Service - www.evosport.com/service/
How do I set up my web site to display this sort of
information on Google?
Thank you!
Mark

Resize Google search results

Why can't I resize google search results in safari?
Doesn't matter if it's search results or even google.com/news
I can't resize the results. I can zoom in on the links when I click them, but the results are too small for me to read. Same problem with facebook
BTW .. fwiw, it it works on the G1

You can't resize the search results because Google optimized the pages for iPhone. That means that Google automatically senses that you're visiting the page from iPhone and automatically resizes the page.
But it is not happening every time. Sometimes Google give you an big page which is resizable but nowadays the resized pages are more common.

How to enable portal rank high up in Google search results?

Hi friends,
Does anyone have an idea how to enable public portal to rank up higher in google search results?
Thanks & regards,
Manish

If you want to do it honestly, put good content up there, and let google get to you - and they will.
If you want to cheat, there are lots of places on the 'net that will tell you how to 'persuade' the search engines to rank your site higher. The search engines constantly work to ensure that their rankings are valid, so they will try and prevent such 'link farming' from occurring.
You can also pay google for advertising, which will place your ad on pertinent search result lists...I would suggest that this might be a better route for you to take.

Google Search Results keep freezing Safari in iOS 8

I have an iPad Air that is only 30% full, and a good wifi connection. Ever since is updated to ios8 and subsequent updates, my Safari browser will often (but not always) freeze after a Google search. All of the Google search result links will be unresponsive, and will not even respond after I refresh the page. It will require me to close the tab, restart Safari and repeat the Google search. It has been happening for quite awhile. I can quit out of all apps, restart my iPad, close all other tabs in Safari, and still have the problem. Unlike another poster who had the same problem, I do not have any third-party blockers on my iPad, nor have I ever had them.
This his is only one of several glitches I have experienced with iOS 8.

If you didn't do a clean install of your system, you might want to try that. Here is a troubleshooting methodology I gave for another thread ...
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.
