Quick search broken (happened shortly before Firefox 8) - is that a bug?

Had been using Quick Search keywords forever but they suddenly stopped working (in one of the last FF 7 updates - I am now on FF 8). Now goes straight to Google with everything I've typed. This applies to both my own quick searches as well as the ones that were pre-created by earlier FF versions.
See troubleshooting information for steps to reproduce.
(I hear someone else in the office complaining about these broken quick searches but surprisingly Google yields no recent threads on this...)
Thanks in advance for any help!

Does it work if you add the dictionary.com (dictionary.reference.com) search engine and add a keyword to it?

After working correctly before Firefox now says that I don't have the propper permission to have the automatic upgrade process. New iMac and MacBook Pro both afected. Using Snow Leopard

After working correctly since I started using the iMac Firefox now say that I do not have the privileges to have it auto update the Firefox. I don't think I changed anything.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Since last update

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

Configuring Quick Search in Recruiter Work Center HCM_ERC_CI_2

Greetings,
I am trying to configure the quick search in the recruiter work center for business function HCM_ERC_CI_2. I don't seem to be picking up candidates, requisitions or postings correctly. For example, I search for "test". I know that I have requisitions and postings that contain the word "test" in the title but I don't get any of those in the search results. I've tried playing around with the V77RCF_SMG_NAVI settings and it doesn't seem to help.
This is how I have things configured as of right now:
V_T77RCF_SRCH_C   quicksearch, enable ranking , display max hits 50, display threshold 50.00
V77RCF_SMG_NAVI   quicksearch, 22, Fast Search
V_T77RCF_SMG_ASM   1,96, Fast Search
V_T77RCF_SM_ASME   no entries (all entries are related to candidate information?)
Can some please advise how the quick search should be configured?
Thanks,
Laura

I assume that I am missing a piece of key configuration in the search profile or search templates.
In V_T77RCF_SMASK, entry 96 Fast Search is of type Full Text and the search profile is INT_CAND. This leads me to believe that only candidate data is being searched. However, when I tried to change it to ERC_REQ I am still getting only candidates.
I have tried the various reports COM_SE_SEARCH_TEST, COM_SE_SEARCH_IIF_TEST, COM_SE_SEARCH_ATTRIBUTES and I don't understand how to interpret them.

Office 365 quick search has lost the "From:" "Subject:" "Keyword:" dropbox.

I use my quick search a little too much, but for some reason in the last few days the drop box on my quick search has gone.
It is the one that allows you to quickly refine your search for "From:" or "Subject:" and "Keyword:". I can add the criteria to my search manually but curious if anyone else has seen this.
I am using windows 8.1 and it is an exchange mailbox.

Hi,
Basis on your description, do you means search folder with From and Subject parameter? Figure as below:
I want to double confirm whether all Outlook client or some special user experience this question.
Please try to open search tab--->select properties what you need in More Properties, figure as below:

Somehow my firefox icon at the google search bar is missing. it happened once before. don't remember how I fixed it. had to do with add-ons or plug-ins. it was a real easy fix to restore but don't remember

Somehow my firefox logo is missing at the google search bar. I used to see the firefox logo when I opened firefox. Now all I see is the box to put the search terms in, nothing else. This happened once before and there was a real simple fix - but don't remember. it had to do with plug-ins or add-ons. I'm using xp

same problem here for the past two days till this morning when I created a new profile and removed ALL addons from the default profile. With the new profile with NO addons, I got to the sites with video that I had problem with and flash player did work.
Now, I only have three addons that have not created the problem; adblock, flashgot, and flashblock.
Create a new profile and check it out.

Having problems with firefox and quick search

whenever i hit my apostrophe key it opens quick search and im not able to use it... any suggestions??

I'd be interested to discover a solution for this problem. It has happened to me once or twice. Eventually, the problem clears up, but I don't know how!

Previously Firefox would show a number at the end of the file name (renaming the file by adding a number) showing that I had already downloaded a file at least once before. Recently that isn't happening. How do I get that feature back?

I downloaded a reader file and it screwed up my Safari browser and the app opens with the Goggle Quick search which I can't get rid of

I downloaded a file to open a owners manual for a camera I needed. I had difficulty getting it down loaded and never could get the manual. I tried using my Safari browser and started getting this Goggle Quick Search file which opened in place of my Safari….I tried to close it and I can't. I did manage to get ride of the reader file.

You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Firefox 4 search bar and "Tips" bar are blank windows that do not work. Removed F4 and downloaded again three times but no joy. Gone back to F 3.6.17.

On Firefox 4 home page the "Tips" bar and search bar above it
are both blank windows. The search bar does not say Google on left side. I can type in search bar but when I click on search nothing happens. ( Desktop XP Pro)
On my Laptop (XP home edition) Firefox 4 works fine and I have not found any faults so far.
It's a shame losing RealPlayer downloader for YouTube. I have to go to IE for that.

Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
:| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

Adobe Reader X leaks GDI handles in quick search box

Just installed Adobe Reader X a couple of days ago (Windows 7, x64). I used it for numerous online documents (in Firefox), while searching for some specific terms in each document. After a while the reader presented a strange picture, not properly painting itself anymore. Then, the reader became unresponsive, and Firefox too, and I had to kill the task.
This happened a few times on different pdf documents.
In my programming career things like these have happened more often so, when the behavior happened again, I went checking the process using Windows Task Manager, adding a few extra columns (Handles, User Objects, GDI Objects) and found that the number of GDI objects was nearly 10000, the absolute limit that Windows imposes on any single process.
I went on checking the reader, now standalone and without Firefox, to see if the problem would persist. Opened a few pdfs and scrolled back and forth. No problems -
tried the same in Firefox to see if the plugin was OK - still no problem.
Then started using the quick search box (Ctrl-F) and repeatedly looked for something trivial (e.g. just a single letter A) - Bingo! Now the GDI handle count starts rising seriously, and does not come back to the original level.
This is definitely a leak, and it needs to be fixed.

We don't process bug reports via these forums - please post any details of unexpected behaviors to the official reporting form.

Can't use quick reply mode in Vbulletin with Firefox 24.0 - Quick reply editor mode doesn't appear

Hi,
Currently I realized that with vb 4.2.1 that if i click on "Edit" on my profile or on a forum post or a thread, i don't see the quick reply editor, i get instead redirected right away to the advance full editor page. Quick reply doesn't load.
This happened right away after I upgraded to Firefox 24.0 It is also been reported by our members forum.nihonomaru.com
On Chrome this issue doesn't happen, only on firefox latest update. It is also been reported by many of our members. I use the latest FF version 24.0
Is there a way to fix this?
I did disable my plugins going safe mode and still the same issue. Also on vb i did disable the plugin and did everything Vbulletin recommended and still the same issue. So it is been determined that it is the latest Firefox 24.0 release. Before, Firefox use to work fine with the quick editor.
Thanks,
Rina

If it happens again then you can try some basic steps like these:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How to stop the "minority report" type of personalized ads triggered by one's google search and appearing in the firefox browser?

Please advise how to stop the "minority report" type of personalized advertising apparently triggered by one's google search and appearing in the firefox browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few months ago

If another uses the computer with their own user account, everything
is kept separate in each users folder. Only if someone used your account
would that be an issue.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

Advanced and Quick Search on UIX Pages

Hi all,
I have run into a situation on pages where I have the advanced and quick search enabled. Here's what is happening. You click on advanced search and search for a particular attribute. This works fine. Then you click on the button for quick search so that the advanced search view collapses. If you go to another page within the application and come back to the original page, the page is displayed with the advanced search view, even though when we left the page it was set to quick search. Any one have any ideas why this occuring or a workaround so that it doesn't happen? Thanks in advance.
Susan

Susan,
Switching between advanced search view and quick search view is done at the client using javascript. Only once a search is issued by pressing the Go or Find button, a request is sent to the server, and we are able to save the "search mode" state.
In 10.1.3 we have solved this by using Partial Page rendering rather then javascript.

How do I disable/uninstall "Quick Search" in Status Bar?

I want to disable/uninstall the "Quick Search" box that pops up in my Status Bar in Firefox 23.0.1 Right now I'm having an issue with an "erratic cursor" (Windows 8...YUCK!!!!). I start typing in the address bar in a new tab, or in Google search bar, and my cursor floats all over the screen without my knowledge. In the middle of typing my search, the cursor will somehow "trigger" the "Quick Search" box, and suddenly, my words end up being typed there. I found out that this "erratic cursor" is a documented issue with the Lenovo G585 laptop, and until I find out how to fix it, I REALLY want to stop "Quick Search" from opening unless I ask it to open.
How do I stop "Quick Search" from opening?
Thanks in advance for your help!

CTL-F = ColdFusion Search = BROKEN = PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm using CF Builder Version: 2.0.0, Build: 278082 (I just installed hotfix 1 hoping that would solve these problems, but it didn't)
1) Using the ColdFusion Search between files doesn't work for me. Example: CTL-F (opens CF Search dialog) and I paste in "cfoutput" (without the quotes). I repeatedly hit the Find button and cycle through all the matches in the document. Then I select a different document, the ColdFusion Search dialog is still on top, I click the "Find" button and nothing happens. The ColdFusion Search dialog doesn't do anything, even though there are matches in the current document. I have to close the dialog, hit CTL-F again, and re-execute the search. This is completely different from the eclipse Find dialog behavior, where you can conduct the same search after switching the current document.
2) Why do multiple ColdFusion Search dialogs open? I can open as many as I want by entering CTL-F. Shouldn't it just select the dialog if it's already open? I don't get it.
Also, the CF Search dialog window position is not saved, which adds a lot more clicks to my work flow!
I must be missing something here... this is either broken or I'm not understanding something. Or better yet, maybe I can have my old eclipse find dialog back!!!
Thanks in advance!
-JP

Here are the bugs I created... would be great if they got votes. I cannot use CFB 2 without fixes to these problems because I rely on CTL-F to work correctly. I'm not sure how these things passed QA... it's a far departure from the way std. eclipse and CFB 1 work. At the very least, we need a patch or workaround that will allow us to turn off ColdFusion Search and use the built in eclipse Find dialog.
