Question about Google search results

All-
I have a site created using iWeb, hosted at MobileMe, with a domain name from GoDaddy. Everything works fine, but searching for my name in Google returns my MobileMe address (web.mac.com/theburians/) instead of my domain name (theburians.com).
Any ideas/suggestions to fix that?
Thanks!
-Arnold

Thanks for the reply.
However, I'd like web.mac.com account to never show up in Google search results...just the godaddy domain name. (Basically, how any other site works.)
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Question about Google Search results on iPad 2

The "results" page that comes up when I do a Google Search is not back-lit and I cannot select any of the websites in the results. How do I gain access to the sites found in the Google Search?

Try this and see if this helps.
Tap Settings, then tap Safari on the left side. Then on the right side - tap clear history, clear cookies, clear cache. Clear all three. Reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button at the top until the red slider appears and slide to power off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and the iPad will restart. Launch Safari and see if it helped.

Question about google search and icons on iphone interface icons.

Hey everyone. I noticed that I can look up images on google but nothing comes up when I do a web search on anything I got what I needed from yahoo but the page just stays blank on Google. I restarted my iphone with no luck. Has anybody else noticed this issue or is it a preferences setting? My second question is, can I get rid of things I don't want on my iphone interface like the weather or stocks programs (icons). Thanks for the help.

Thanks for getting back to me. What I meant by my first question is, when I go into Safari and then select google in the bookmarks I can't get a result when I enter a key word in the search field on the Google page. I touch the search window and the keyboard pops up. I put in something I want to search for and nothing happens. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

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.

[Solved] Conkeror google search results mode

Hey,
I've been using conkeror for some time now and I really enjoy
conkeror's support for mouseless browsing. In google search mode
Conkeror allows you to use 1-9 to select a link in your google search
results. However, when I want to look at a second page of search
results, I reach the mouse to do that (since the follow
command in the google search mode only shows numbers to your search
results). But that doesn't seem very efficient. So, what I'm wondering
if any of you know how I can select another page of search results
without having to reach the mouse (while in the google search mode).
I've looked at Conkeror's website about the google search mode but I
couldn't find any info about that there. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yup, have this line in your rc:
define_key(content_buffer_normal_keymap, "O", "follow", $browser_object = browser_object_relationship_next);
Substitute "O" with whichever key you like.
That works beautifully. That will make my life much better
I've also noticed that if you change "next" for "previous" you can
also see previous pages.
Another related question: after you do a google search and you want to
change your previous query (e.g., add a word to your previous search), do you know of a
way of doing that without using the mouse? (again, f here has a
similar problem in the google search mode).

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref. 
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar. 
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

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?

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>
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

891 firewall - Can't click Google search results

Just setting up and testing a Cisco 891-K9 router. Used CCP for basic setup, figure I'll tweak any settings needed later.
For the firewall, I chose the default "medium" security setting in CCP, then added some holes (already setup in NAT) for outside access in.
Now on to the real question:
I noticed that I am now unable to click through google search results. On any borwser. Clicking on any search result simply loops back around to the same google search page. If I disable Javascript on the browser, everything works as expected. So it appears that the firewall is preventing something in google's scripts from redirecting and "clicking through" to the final destination page.
I'm familiar with our old Pix firewall commands, but still a relative newcomer to the zone based firewall and commands for this new 891, so any help would be appreciated! (relevant Config pasted below) (Gi0 is the WAN interface)

Sorry to reply to myself, but looks like I found the culprit. It appears it was the following section:

Allowing this section (instead of resettting) corrected the issue. I'll leave the further analysis to those more qualified, but I feel I have to ask... What risks am I opening by allowing this through?
Thanks!

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.

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

You can check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

*http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/garbled_fonts_troubleshooting_guide.html
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

Made Link with iTunes Link Maker. Want link to appear in Google search results. What next?

Hey all,
Just a quick question following some exposition.
I have a book sitting in the iTunes store, and just came across the Link Maker feature to, well, make a link for it. I made a link, which I'd like to have appear in Google search results. In order for that to happen, do I...
...just wait for Google to crawl itunes.apple.com, and hope that it shows up?
...manually submit the link to Google through Google's apparatuses?
or does Apple have a mechanism for making it appear in Google search results without any further effort from me? I realize rankings and SEO are entirely different questions, but wondered how the submission process plays out.
Mods, if this question isn't in the right place, feel free to move it.
My thanks in advance!

or does Apple have a mechanism for making it appear in Google search results without any further effort from me?
I never heard of such a thing, and given that Apple thinks and functions largely as a closed ecosystem, it seems rather unlikely.
If you have a way to submit directly to Google, go for it.
As an experiment, I suggest you try a few books that have similar audiences as yours, and search for them on Google, Bing, etc, and see where the results take you.

DEFAULT Heading, Title, Main Text...for google search result??

Hi,
Every pages when we added in iWeb it'll come with some default Text Box shown as
*"Type a heading for your webpage here", "Type the main text for your page here", "Type the title for the page" ...*
Do the above default text box helps for Google search result?
Any other useful purpose for that?

What bout Adding a Text Box? Isn't the same thing of the Default Title Box? Or it must be place at the Top ? or it already pre-set for search engines?
You could find out if its the same thing by doing the following:
Add a text box to your home page, publish your iWeb site to a folder, click on +"Visit Site Now"+ and then in Safari do +View > View Source+. Then look for the title tag that the article talks about:
<title>Your title here</title>

Few questions about Spotlight searches in Leopard

I have a few questions about Spotlight searches in the menu bar & Finder in Leopard:
1. When doing a search in the Finder window how do I get back the grouped items view? (Docs grouped together, bookmarks grouped together etc. Same as in Tiger).
2. How do I set Spotlight searches in Finder to always default to search by 'File Name' instead of 'Contents' & in the folder I'm in rather than 'This Mac'?
3. In the Spotlight menu bar results how do I disable dictionary meaning for things I type in there?

Jono H
Can't answer them all:
1. Sort on 'Kind' - click the Kind header
2. If you're in a Folder and want to do a filename search, don't use spotlight, just start to type the name... So, if you're in Applications, just type iwo and you'll get your iWork...
3. ... I have no idea
Regards

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.''
