So when using safari and using the header to search - google comes up with .co.kr instead of .co.uk
This only happens when javascript is turned on.

Try checking your Google search settings.

Safari Search function goes to Russian Google?!

Hi,
I've had this problem for a while. When I use the search box built into Safari (to the right of the address bar) it uses the Russian version of Google to find results. I live in the UK. How do I change this?
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Do you remember installing any third-party applications? Strange that it would change like that on its own. There is an article on MacOSXHint which documents how to change the default search engine used by way of vi editor - a bit of a hassle if you're not comfortable with vi.
As an alternative, you can make use of aliases in the address bar with add-ons such as Sogudi and Keywurl.

I am getting a 404 error when trying to access any search link using google, I can get to a website if I enter the url directly. I have cleared my history, emptied the cache and reset safari.

Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.

IOS6 Magnifier Missing in Safari using Google Search engine

Seems that i have lost the ability to move and place the cursor with or without the magnifier in the google home search box, when using google in Safari. I can no longer get a magnifier to appear nor move cursor to middle of word to fix a typo. This happend after IOS6. Anyone else?

Hi I'm experiencing the exact same issue and joined up this forum only today just so I can reply - I have never felt the need to before and this is what the current ios6 issues have pushed me to do! Apple please act on the known issues ASAP and restore your customer's confidance!
Rant over - so yes what I have found is that the top box doesn't work BUT the alternative 2nd search box at the BOTTOM works fine - I'm able to magnify, drag cursor and highlight as per usual
So seems apple can't even be consistent in their issue causing updates!!
@Apple support - please can someone reply and update us on this?

Blocking verizons search assist when typing in the safari search bar

     Ever since updating to Yosemite, I've noticed that verizon's search assist annoyingly keeps popping up when I search terms that before would automatically be going to google.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you!

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

I have o s x 10.7.5 using hp laser jet all in one 3050 printer. when using google chrome I can't print. works with safari.

When using google chrome I am unable to print from this search engine. I can print from Safari.

If the printer works with Safari and other programs, then the problem is with Chrome. Ask their tech support for help.

How to hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

how do I hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

Not completely.
In Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Check both Do not preload top hits in the background & Prevent earch engine from providing suggestions.
This will eliminate top hits and search engine suggestions.
I am not sure about the rest.
As far as History, I guess you could clear it and use Private Browsing.
Bookmarks, I don't think there is anything you can do about that besides removing them.

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. In vertical, it works fine. I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache. Any help will be appreciated.

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. Vertically, it works fine. I have powered off and then back on. I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache. Nothing has worked so far.

Okay -- it fixed itself. Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches. If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

I recently upgraded to FireFox 4 on Mac OS 10.6. Prior to that, when I used Google as homepage, it would immediadelty place the cursor in the search box for Google, whether it was starting a new session or a new tab or window.

{cont. from question}
Now, the cursor always sits at the addressbar after www.google.ca/[cursor], no matter whethor it is a new instance or a new tab (but not new page, that's okay). It's most frustrating to see that I've typed out my search only to have to go and retype in the search box again.
This issue does not exist in Safari or Camino browsers, which I have also used in the past.
Basically, I just want the cursor to appear in the search box as soon as google starts up and instead its going to the address bar.

It sounds like you are having trouble with your internal Hard Drive.
Whilst this is quite serious, sometimes you can fully recover from the situation, depending on what happened.
One of the most useful and reliable rescue utilities is DiskWarrior:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11707/diskwarrior
If you are lucky it may be something as simple as a damaged HFS+ wrapper, which can be repaired and have you back up on your feet again in relatively short order.
It pays to periodically check the *S.M.A.R.T. Status* of your drive, at the bottom of *Disk Utility.*
This is a self diagnosis function that may indicate impending problems. However if the disk has sustained physical damage, such as caused by a hard knock, nothing will redeem it.

When "Use Google Instant", "Open search results in a new browser window." does not function.

In the "Google Search Setting", if select "Do not use Google Instant", then the selected search result of Google Search will be displayed in a new window, but if "Use Google Instant", the selected result will replace Google Search window. This problem does not exist when using Chrome Browser.

That does what it says - even if Google tells the browser to open the page in a new window, you have told Firefox to ignore that and open it in a new tab. Uncheck the box and you should get the result you want.

When using Google to search the results are displayed so small I cannot read them. This just started today.

Today when I was searching with Google. The display of the results started getting smaller and smaller, right before my eyes, and I could not stop it, and I was doing nothing, but reading the screen. I cannot find anything to tell me how to get the larger size display back. All the other search engines, such as Bing, Yahoo are displaying correctly. I have always used Google, I like Google, I do not want to change. Please can you help me? I have a screen print available is you need to see it. I tried searching the Google website for help but I couldn't find anything. I installed something called Stylish, thinking that would help, but it did not.

hello, try to press ctrl+0 ('zero') while you're on the page in order to reset the zoom level or in case this doesn't work also go through the other common troubleshooting steps at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
