Safari 6.0 Search / Address Bar

Hi
Under Safari preferences you can select your search engine, but how can one localize the search? E.g. for South Africa: use google.co.za, not .com.
Cheers,
Mike

Well Safari crashed when I started poking around preferences and deleting certain websites that stored cookies, so I restarted my computer and the problem fixed itself.

Safari - Where'd my address bar go?!

Hey y'all!
My dad has an iMac, and he was on Safari one day when he realized that his address/URL bar was missing. We have tried to no prevail to find out how to get it back. Please help - it is a minor problem that has now turned majorly annoying. Thank you!

Then go to View > Customize Toolbar and choose the Address Bar field if that's the only thing missing, or choose the Default Set of icons at the bottom if everything is missing and drag them into place.

Safari 4 Bookmarks in Address Bar

How do I get them to go away? I don't want to see what I bookmarked every time I type letters into the Address bar.

Hi,
Bar Top Sites, the same functionality exists in Safari 3.
If you still want to revert, use TimeMachine if you use it or revert using your last backup. If you have neither, the simplest and safest route is to perform an [Archive & Install|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710] of OS X.

I can't delete in the search/address bar on my cursor moves out of the box

When I try to delete after typing a word in the search bar after the cursor moves out of the box I can't i have to reload the page before i can start typing again. Also happens when i just click off the box does not let me type any more without refreshing. I get a beep sound when i try to type or reload

Clear Safari and the reset the iPad again. Settings>Safari>Clear history and website data. Now reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
I would also reset the router by unplugging it for 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

"Smart" search/address bar

Is there a way to remove this feature from Safari? I find it solves a problem that doesn't exist and is irritating.

I also would like to disable this so called feature, as I find it quite annoying.
Does anyone know how to disable this?

HELP: Safari Address Bar is missing

Does anyone know what I should do to get my address bar to come back? I have been using my mac mini for a few weeks, including Safari and one day last week when I turned on the PC and Safari my address bar was gone. I have gone into the view tab several times and tried to get the address bar to return but it is missing. I have rebooted and I have reset Safari and still no address bar. What can I do? Thanks

Hi
Go to the View Menu>Customize Address Bar. This will open the Icon panel. You'll see an "Address and Search" bar. Click/Drag it to the Address Bar area of the browser window. Select "done".

I have a pc, and i accidentally deleted the address bar in my safari browser and no longer have any view options to get it back

I have a pc, and i accidentally deleted the address bar in my safari browser and no longer have any view options to get it back. I uninstalled and reinstalled safari twice, but the address bar still isn't there and neither are the view options. If there anyway to get it back?

I'd try the following user tip with that:
Safari for Windows: getting your bars back

Can't enter any text in Safari address bar. Why?

I can't enter any text into the Safari address bar. The keyboard is working fine as it works in all other applications?
Any ideas??
Thanks.

I understand. Close the window, and open a new one. Try the Address Bar. If no go, try Safari from another User Account. I'm curious if the Address Bar works there. If it doesn't, then you'll need to reinstall Safari.
Just in case you need this: Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If the address bar works in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.

Deleting urls in the address bar?

please excuse me if i am posting my question in the wrong forum.
How do i delete urls that appear in my address bar?
thanks, in advance
Ryan

Hello Ryan and Welcome to Apple Discussion.
if you are asking about deleting a url in Safari, then you are in the wrong forum you should be in Apple Safari Discussions However, it is understandable to get disoriented in the forums.
To answer your question (if Safari), click in the address bar on the little icon on the far left of the url. in some urls it may look like the default "world" or it may have some other icon there. it will select the enitre addres even the stuff that may not be visible. then just click delete or start typing the new url.

Address Bar problems

Hi all,
I just got my Macbook as a gift from my Partner and I love it! I have a question about Safari and using the address bar.
Basically when I use other browsers you are able to click on the address bar and see past visited websites this is not the case with Safari. How can I set it so this feature is available? I suppose the main question would be if Safari can actually do this?
Dave

Thanks for the replies. I have tried the suggestions and when you open a new browser window it does indeed realize that you have been to that site before.
The problem is I am used to using Firefox where you are able to go up to the address bar and click on the little down arrow and view all of the sites you have visited and not have to type anything it the bar at all. This allow you to see where you have been and select the website you want without any typing.
Does Safari have this option?

Firefox for Android: search/address not working

I just put firefox on my new phone and I found that the search/address bar almost always considers one word searches to be an address, see pic: http://i.imgur.com/1dpIH2L.png (very annoying by the way)
is there any way to make it properly recognize one word entries as searches, or change it so that it only functions as a search bar?
And instead of making a 2nd post, is there any way to disable address autocomplete? I can deal with it if not but I just find it distracting.

Hi,
What version of Firefox for Android are you using?

Safari address bar search behaviour

Hi,
I am a recent convert to the Mac platform and since moving over I have experienced a number of problems with Firefox. The most marked problem is very poor flash video (YouTube) performance i.e. choppy & stuttering playback until entire video has been loaded, but overall it is slow and sometimes hangs (spinning ball) for no apparent reason.
I have tried Safari and have found it's performance to be wonderful compared to Firefox, and there are no problems with flash video. However I have some issues with the address bar search behaviour and I am wondering whether this is normal or not.
In Firefox, when I type something into the address bar, search results from history and bookmarks appear. The same thing happens in Safari, but it seems the only way to get a bookmark to appear is to type the actual domain address, not the name of the bookmark. Also, if a bookmark has a subdomain other than www, then that must be typed otherwise the address won't appear.
For example, if I have a bookmark as follows:
Apple - Support - Discussions - Forum Home - http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
I can't bring that site up by typing apple, support or forum in the address bar, I have to type the subdomain name discussions in order for it to appear.
I am posting to ask whether this is normal behaviour and whether it can be changed so that address bar search can include the bookmark name as well as the domain name itself. Thanks for your help,

Yes, it's perfectly normal; and no, you can't change the behavior to recognize the page name of the actual URL. You can always send feedback to Apple and request that feature; they might actually do it sometime in the future. Use this URL:
