Safari 6 dropdown menu for switching search engines gone? Nooo!

Safari 6 no longer has dropdown menu for switching quickly between search engines? I know how to set/change the default search engine but I like/use some features on Google and others on Bing. I do research all day - this stinks! (They got rid of the snapback feature too. Are they nuts? The Reader feature is nice, but doesn't make up for losing these other things - would go back to previous version if it weren't such a PITA to do it)
Is there a quick workaround - something faster than loading the alternative search engine main page and inputting search field info all over again?

download the latest version of Glims... now works with Mountain Lion and Safari 6

Hi everyone! I turned on my computer the other day and the icon for Safari was missing from my dock. I looked in the applications folder and it is no longer there. Does anyone know how I can get safari if I have no internet search engine?

How did you post here?

I like to use Google for my search engine but it has been replaced with Amazon. How do I get google back?

In the upper right corner of the Firefox screen, there is a box for a search engine search. I used to have google there, but recently it somehow changed to Amazon.com. How do I switch it back to google?

OK, might want to make that change in your profile to get faster answers to future questions. If you leave the "iOS6" that's now in your profile, helpers will have to ask the OS question every time you post, slowing your getting help you deserve. Note the level of detail I was able to cram in my Equipment profile (at the bottom of this post).
I don't have 10.7 on any of our Macs but I suspect a system update may have removed that iPhoto option. However, you can still get to your iPhoto files if 10.7 is anything like 10.8.
In System Preferences > Desktop and Screensaver > Screensaver tab, there is a "Source" dropdown menu direct under the preview pane. Click it and select "Choose Folder..":
That gives you a dialog box that should point to your "Pictures" folder. Within that is your iPhoto library. Select it and see if that gives you access to your images.

How to add a dropdown menu to the search box (the 'search this site' box that appears on all subsites)

Hello there,
I know that in the search center you can add search verticals. Then you can configure the search box so it has a drop down menu so you can specify the result source you want to search.
But my question is about the 'search this site' box which appears on all subsites, so not the one in the search center. Is it possible to add the same dropdown menu to this box as in the search center?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a dropdown menu to the search box.
You need to look at the Search Settings page that is located under the Site Collection Administration of the Site Settings.

System shows ?????? in the dropdown menu for variable

Hello
There use SAP BI 7.0.
Dropdown menu for query variable shows these symbols for all the values ???????
How I can sort it out?
Thanks

Good day,
SAP Note 1368055 should resolve the issue.
This Note includes parameter F4_LIST_NO_LINEBRAEKS which may need to be added using transaction SE38 and program SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN. Remember to regenerate your queries to ensure they work with the new parameter in-place.
Hope this helps!

Switching Search Engines in 4.0.3

Anyone know of a reliable, free way to switch the search engine from Google to Google UK in 4.0.3? I previously had a olug for this but it stopped working. I have also tried Acidsearch but it seems unresponsive.

Hi John,
2. I had previously used Glims but it became incompatible with an earlier version of Safari. I dl'd the latest version and it is still incompatible. I have had to delete the installation in order to get Safari to run.
3. Not sure about Butler. It doesn't seem to allow you to change the search engine in Safari?
What about Inquisitor? Did you try that?

Adding keywords and phrases for high search engine hits

I'm new to iWeb and most things seem to be working. I have one question and one problem, hopefully you guys can help out.
Question: how do I add html code that is not visible on the page but that will help Google and other search engines find my page using keywords, phrases, etc.? Please assume I know very little about this and need the holding hand explanation.
Problem: I have a media file portion on my website that displays pictures (working very well) and one that is supposed to show a movie (not working at all). The movie was made with iMovie and has an .m4v extension. When you click on the link for the movie it shows a blank screen on Firefox and a Quicktime logo with a big question mark on Safari. I'm attempting to view the website on my Mac with the latest Quicktime software on it but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Some additional info: the hosting provider is 1and1.com and I have a Windows server package (unfortunately). Also, if I publish the site to a folder the movie area works flawlessly, it just does not work on the hosted site.
Thanks!!

You don't need to do post publication manual editing of your site to add keywords and other metadata. You can use the freeiWeb SEO Tool. If you're publishing to MobileMe you can add them after publication. If you're publishing to a commercial hosting server you'll need to publish to a folder on the desktop, run SEO and then use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload your site.
If you have to republish SEO remembers what you added and can quickly add them again before uploading.

Safari and Firefox do not open search engines

I have an IMac 8.1, with OS 10.5.8. Recently, our internet browser programs (safari and firefox) will not open any search engine (google, bing or yahoo). However, I am able to navigate to web-sites that I manually type in (e.g., www.cnn.com). Does anyone know what the cause, and fix, to this issue? Also, this behavior did coincide with a recent update to our Intego Antivirus software, but I think this is unrelated.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Maybe not. Most, if not almost all, anti-virus software interferes with OS X and is not required.
Try installing Glims:
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

Safari Default sites now go to search engine

I upgraded to Leopard and now Safari works differently for me. It used to be that if i typed in an address with now www or .com it would automatically add it and take me to the site. Ex: If I typed APPLE into the address bar it would automatically ad the www.apple.com to it and take me to Apple.
Now it takes me to a search engine and searches for APPLE. Is that a setting I can change to make it work the other way. Now my Webbrowsing works like PC and that it no fun.

I too am looking for an answer to this one. For some reason if I type "apple" in the address window Verizon feels they need to help me out. ***? Cant find a preference anywhere to change this. Somebody help. I hope the poor guy who started this thread almost a year ago found an answer.

In Safari, no Bookmarks menu for a managed account???

Hi, all.
Is there any way to have a Bookmarks MENU for a managed account, not just the Bookmarks Bar?
Thanks!

Double tap Home button and delete Safari and Mail from multitask bar that appears.
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

Parser for experimental search engine

We are building an experimental search search engine for the moment, and are looking for a good parser. The HTML parser we are looking for needs to be able to extract the content from HTML pages but keep the TAG data. The result has to be put in a database MYSQL type.

Optimising video for web search engine results

I have little experience of producing video, so by default I have little experience or knowledge of premier... so I am here to ask a question on the back of a conversation I have just had with a client who is fairly video savvy, but not entirely premier pro savvy.
He is under the impression that premier pro has a facility to be able to analyse the content of a video and then automatically create a metadata file which can then be utilised for search engine ranking. Is this so? Has premier pro got this capability?
Thanks in advance.
Mat

> Is that what's being asked for, though? I understood the OP wants
Google to scan the video itself for metedata and use that for rankings.
Yep. The tutorials that I linked to show how to embed the speech-to-text metadata in the video and then extract it for search within Flash Player.
> Actually whether or not any Adobe app is capable of such, I think the
bigger question is can a search engine actually scan video files, or do
they just scan web pages?
The search engine companies are all moving toward using metadata within video files, but at different speeds and with different degrees of transparency. For now, I don't think that it's much used. But the time is coming (and is already here in a minimal, primitive form.)
The reason that I then suggested using the metadata as something to put as text on an HTML page was that I thought that this might be more valuable for the current state of search engine technology.

Today's update seems to have modified the interface for the search engine bar to icons rather than a list. Is there any way I can change it back?

I know everyone says they "hate" changes to familiar interfaces at first before growing accustomed to them, but I just personally don't care for the icon-tray look in anything I use (it seems to defeat at least some of the point of using Internet on an actual computer rather than on a mobile phone). I also sort of have a lot of search engines up there, not all of which I can immediately recognize by icon. I know it's a minor inconvenience, but having to scroll over an icon to see the name of its associated search engine is pretty annoying after being used to having a nice list that just told you all of their names. Any way that I can change it back to the old list-interface?

Thank you, much appreciated!

No dropdown menu for external speakers

I just moved and reconnected my soundsticks but there is no dropdown menu to select the soundsticks instead of the computer. It only plays on the computer. I pull the cord in and out and it gets that feedback so its getting power etc.
Any suggestions?

also, have checked the box under advanced preferences for it to detect airtunes. It is plugged into my airport, but the light is yellow, although its getting a full signal. I am not using airport for internet right now.
