Safari 6.0 unified search bar returns Russian language

No matter what I enter into the new unified search bar I get results in Russian. I've set my Google preferences to US English and cleared cache, Library/Preferences and Library/Safari. It doesn't help.

Same here! ... FRUSTRATING! I think the only temporary solution is to use only the unified serch bar, if it could be considered a "solution"...

Safari unified search bar problem

When I type in a search term in Safari's new unified space bar, the website I'm currently viewing is appended to the search. This results in a bogus search. For example, if I'm viewing the macdailynews.com website and type in a search, the search term becomes:
iphone 5 review site:macdailynews.com
If I'm at appleinsider.com and type in a search it becomes:
does ios 6 work with ipad 1 site:appleinsider.com
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

Stop safari from filling in search bar as I type evan with search engine suggestions disabled?

[[Location bar search]] has lots of information on this. If the steps here don't work for you or aren't clear enough, please visit that article.
1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn.
* The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
2. Search for the preference keyword.enabled.
3. Double-click the keyword.enabled preference to toggle it between true and false.
* false disables Internet Keyword searches.
* true enables Internet Keyword searches.

Safari web address and search bars missing.

I have a two year old Mac that is still running on Snow Leopard, and for some reason, when I launch Safari, the place to type in web addresses at the top is missing along with the general search bar. Anybody know how to bring it back?

From the Safari menu, View, select Show Toolbar

Earthlink Start Page with Safari Obscured by Google Search Bar??

Earthlink's personal start page inserts a Google search bar at the top of first page. Instead of moving up out of the way, when scrolling down, the Google bar follows at the top of the page. If the page is swiped diagonally, to expand the content, the Google bar expands proportionally obscuring the content of the page. Expanding the page is usually necessary because of the small print size on the small iPhone screen. If the page is expanded enough, the Google bar obscures all the page content. Both Earthlink and Apple do not acknowledge the responsibility or resorces to address the problem. This makes using Earthlink, as an ISP with Safari, as your home page unacceptable?? Any suggestions other than switching browsers on the iPhone??

Complain to Earthlink. They coded the page. It's their problem.

Safari Search Bar Missing

Hi,
I searched the community forums about this issue with Safari. I went to View > Customize toolbar... I see the search bar on the 'default set in toolbar', but I don't see it when I use Safari! I recall modifying the plist of Safari to remove the search bar because I want to the function of the search bar in Chrome and I can't reverse it. I tried re-installing Safari, but that does not work.
Advise.
OS X: 10.7.2
Safari: Version 5.1.2 (7534.52.7)

I tried dragging out the plist, it created a new one, but it's the same thing.
@ CT, it worked
However, I'd like to know if this is a security issue having to having the address/search bar feature, yes? For example, logging into my bank might leak some information because of the modification in the plist.
I need reassurance.

The little google search bar thats usually on the right side of my window is now gone after updating. how do i get it back?

i just updated my software and when i re-opened safari, the little google search bar thats usually on the right hand side of the window is now gone. how do i get it back?

Sorry. That is Safari 6's "new look".
Now they are copying Chrome and other browsers that combine them so that they don't take up so much space on your iPhone oops, I meant your screen.
Tabs are as big as a house as well, but that just seems to be a bug.

Search bar missing; no forward or back arrows either.

I just noticed this yesterday. When I use Safari, there is no search bar present, nor are there any forward or back arrows. This means that when I want to go to a different page within the same site, I have to go back to Google, write in the same information as I just did, and then go from there. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Thank you very much.

Hello. No need for anyone to reply. I just noticed that someone else had the same problem. I just had to go to View and click on "show toolbar". Duuhhh! Thanks anyway.

Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

Hello Apple Forums,
I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
Cleared the following caches:
System Local Computer Cache
System VM (Swap) Files
Curent User Cache
Current User Icon Cache
Internet Explorer Download Cache
Page History
Web Site Cache
Temporary Files
Safari Downloads List
Form Values
Page History
Recent Searches
Site Icons
Web Site Cache
User Cookies (used by Safari)
Finder Recent Applications
Recent Documents
Recent Folders
Recent Servers
Recent Files of AppleWorks 6
Disk Utility Disk Images
Preview
QuickTime Player Favorites/Recent
REALbasic Projects
TextEdit
VideoLanClient
and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads
Acquisition Recent Searches
MSN Conversation History
Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
What I have not done:
Updated Prebinding
Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
To Summarize Possible Solution
I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
Hope It Helps!

Hello tr:
Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

In OS X Mavericks using Safari, the search bar at the top that i had on the previous system disappears only reappearing in the full screen. Do i have to go into full screen every time? Bit of a pain but no doubt I'm doing something wrong!

Those are all fine
Here is how to see RAM overloaded…
Reboot to see the system in it's default state.
Open TextEdit for the sake of it
Open Activity Monitor & Terminal from /Applications/Utilities.
Select the Memory tab
In Terminal enter the following command
memory_pressure -l critical
# note that is a lowercase L
RAM usage will climb, compression will begin the VM will become way more than the system has installed.
Eventually the system will start swapping (look for RED) - Watch the 'memory pressure' & 'Swap used' as this happens.
Try switching to TextEdit - the system is still coping !
Switch back to Terminal & hit ctrl+c to stop the process.
Watch the VM & memory pressure return to normal levels.
This OS kicks 4ss !
Your problems may lie elsewhere

Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange. It keeps changing my default browser from Google to Only Search, and my search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do. On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click a link

Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange lately! It keeps changing my default browser automatically from Google to Only Search (if you use the search engine Only Search it takes you to Yahoo.com). My search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do to make it Google. On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click on a link. What is worn with my computer and how do I fix it?!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

Bing redirect on the Safari Google Search Bar

When I open Safari and try to search something- anything- my page is redirected through 'search.install.mac' something like that. Its hard to read because it goes by so fast, but after the mac.installer, it takes me straight to a Bing search for the exact same thing I tried searching on Google. Please help me. This problem is extremely frustrating and I'm afraid that the problem could become larger. Thanks

You installed the "Genieo" scam product. There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is not trustworthy, you shouldn't rely on it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know that, stop here and ask for guidance.
Quit the Genieo application, if it's running. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/etc/launchd.conf
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder may open with a file selected, or the file may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that it doesn't exist. If it does exist, it's a configuration file created or replaced by the Genieo installer. Any software installer that does this should be considered ipso facto malware. Move the file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
IMPORTANT: If the launchd.conf file exists, you must move it to the Trash it before continuing. Otherwise the systemwill become unbootable. In that case, restore from your backup and start over. That's how badly Genieo has sabotaged your system.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
Again, some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file doesn't exist. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Reboot. Your web browsers should now function normally, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including one called "Spigot" if it's present. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
The Genieo installer may also install the "Silverlight" web plugin from Microsoft. If you have no use for that plugin, you should remove it according to Microsoft's instructions. Don't remove it if you subscribe to "Netflix."
This procedure may leave a few files behind, but it should deactivate Genieo. Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install it. Chances are you got it from one of the Internet's open sewers such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Safari is saving every site I've been on into the search bar on my MacBook AIR OMG soooo MAD!! Help PLEASE!!!!!!

So now it says: search: This Mac Home Desktop Contents File Name with "this mac" and "contents" highlighted
And then in the search bar to the far right with the magnify glass I typed the phrase "nos.." by accident...then I noticed almost EVERY webpage/instragram/youtube I've ever been on comes up, some of them listed numerous times.
I see all these random youtube videos Ive watched, all these websties, and the worst peoples instagrams that Ive been stalking LMAO!! Like when I type in for example "ashley" it comes up ashley9234 (for example) instagram 6 times in a row listed, but some pages only once, all these webpages everything omg I cant sleep knowing almost every site Ive ever been to is there..and you cant click it or delete it, I just dont like to see it.
And I did click "Reset Safari" , clear history everynight before I turn off my computer, but you see that is not the problem...the problem is that why stuff Ive visited from even 7 months ago show up , and why some are listed numerous times like 6 times in a row...omg Apple...you have let me down big time. Now I can never sell my mac ever!!! So next laptop is soo gonna be Sony or something..guys please..I really really really need your help Im losing sleep over this

Safari won't restore window/toolbar/URL/search bar

HI all,
I have a very baffling situation. We have MacPro 2010 on 10.8. recently my son complained that his Safari doesn't work. I looked at it:
1. open Safari, and you get the menubar, but no browser window
2. under the menu-->windows, I find "untitled". when I click on "untitled" a window shows up with just the "home" icon and the homepage. no other toolbar. "cmd-L" won't let you type URL. no search bar either.
2a. tried "Reset Safari" no change
3. I tried changing the toolbar to default (with the address/search icon) through "customize toolbar", but no go
4. deleted .plist, ~/Library/Safari still won't recover the standard window
4a. after deleting .plist ~/Library/Safari, I rebooted the machine. no change
5. when I open a new window, nothing shows. but it lists additional "untitled" window under menu-->window
on all other accounts on the machine, the Safari works fine.
right now I'm accessing the web using Firefox.
how does one COMPLETELY reset Safari? if I can avoid deleting ~/Library that would be good. but if that is what it will take, I'll do it.
it's annoying how apple seems to hide application support files that it is no longer contained in the ~/Library/Preferences, etc file. (ran into ghost iCal stuff that will keep resurrecting itself!)
I'm very savvy with Terminal and other UNIX commands. so willing to try things.
thanks for any help!

The culprit may be a Safari extension or third party plug-in ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If that didn't help, Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
