Question about the  "Suggestions" feature in the search box

How can you tell if the “Suggestions” in the search box are generic or part of my own browsing history? Can the suggestion history be cleared?

Hey Andy..thanks for the response. The reason I asked is when I start typing in the search box a drop down list of suggestions appears and some of the suggestions I'm not sure where they are coming from. Also, I thought maybe it was based on my own browsing. Example I was typing in a name and it started suggesting specific people. Curious if was because I had gone to their website in the past or it was based juts on my location and the algorithms of the search engine to make a suggestion.  I have even cleared my browsing history but the same suggestions come up.

    A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device.  Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
    However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

  • Am considering buying a Time Capsule.  But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection.  Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule.  I assume yes...?

    A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
    The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
    Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

  • Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \  How powerful is the iPad?  How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?   please help me :(

    Hello ,
    I want to ask some question about ipads \
    How powerful is the iPad? 
    How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
    Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?  
    please help me

    it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
    It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
    You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
    I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
    By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

  • It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?

    It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?
    Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
    Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
    What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
    If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device?
    What are the keys to the different types of information?

    Hi I have answered you questions inline below:
    Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
    Yes when you first set up the account or when you first add a device to the cloud, if it is not the first time, it will merge with the other data
    Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
    By default it merges. There is no option to change this.
    What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
    It will sync at the next sync interval if that data is selected to sync.
    If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device? What are the keys to the different types of information?
    It resolved the entry the next time the first and second device syncs. Can you elaborate on the second part of this question?

  • I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?

    I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
    How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

    Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
    6 Easy Steps to Remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox:
    1. Click on the "inverted triangle" located to the right of the orange Bing icon.
    2. Select the option "Manage Search Engines...". (A pop-up window will appear titled "Manage Search Engine List.)
    3. Select "Bing".
    4. Click the "Remove" button.
    5. Select the desired search engine from the list.
    6. Click "OK"
    All Done.... :-)
    Happy Searching...

  • Question - How does the Priority feature of the Send Port work?

    How does the Priority feature of the Send Port work?

    The Priority setting of the Transport Advanced Options controls the order in which messages are removed from the messageBox. Ports with higher priority will be processed earlier than the ports with lower prioirty making the higher priority ports more important
    relative to other send ports within a single host.
    Refer:
    Send Port Priority
    The highest prioirty is 1, and the lowest is 10. The default value is 5.

  • The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

    The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
    This is not fun.

    Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

  • What are the new features for the latest version ...

    what are the new features for the latest version of N6300? can you cite me the newest features?

    The latest update was just bug fixes and improved stability, no new features. That is nearly always the case with series 40 phones like the 6300.
    Nokia do not make the changelogs available publicly but often they do appear on unofficial sites. Searching google may provide you with more detailed info that cannot be posted here.

  • Where is the slideshow feature in the Photos app? (iOS7)

    Since upgrading to iOS7, I haven't been able to figure out how to run a simple slideshow of one of my Photos albums. Has this been removed/moved?

    Ckuan,
    Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. Once you deselect a photo there is no slideshow option displayed. all you can do is select or cancel.
    EDIT (from another thread): if you just click the 1st photo then click slideshow, the entire album will run.  As for your question about pausing, if I touch the screen of the photo I want to pause, the slideshow will stop until I touch the screen again and then the option for slideshow comes up again, and once you click the slideshow option, the slideshow resumes.
    What a Pain. Back in iOS 2 (yes, 2) you could stop and start photos from anywhere in an album and manually make them move forward with a flick of the screen if you were showing them on a TV. It worked brilliantly with a pause and play button. WHY did Apple get rid of this? It was like Keynote was built into the photos app.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 not have the panorama feature with the new iOS 6 ?

    That was made available in iOS 5. To update, you may need to connect to iTunes

  • Should I buy the iphone 4s or Buy the iphone 5 they have the same features basically the iphone 4s just cost less

    They will have the same features once the iphone 5 comes out they will both have ios 6 , passbook, panerama mode, ect. The iphone 4s just cost less. im not worried so much about the screen size i just want to know some opinions. And what color is good for a guy to get?

    That is your decision.
    The 5 has a faster processor, more RAM, and a larger screen.  The biggest difference is LTE.
    Buy whatever fits your budget and needs.
    Personally I just got a 32GB 4S on closeout from AT&T for $199... to me it was worth saving $100 over a similar iPhone 5.
    Color is your choice, again my personal opinion is white electronics are hideous.  Many will disagree with me on that, but I cannot help that they have bad tastes. 

  • Can I hook my iphone 5 to a touchscreen monitor and use the touchscreen feature of the monitor. Would I have to use the lighting to hdmi?

    Can I hook my iphone 5 to a touchscreen monitor and use the touchscreen feature of the monitor. Would I have to use the lighting to hdmi?

    The connection of the phone to the monitor would allow you to see, but does not have the ability to translate the touch on the monitor to the phone through that cable.
