Safari 6 not saving searches in history.

When using Safari 6 in Mountain Lion, it doesn't seam like Safari is remembering my searches.  If I type something into the address/search bar, click enter, select a link, but when I click back it doesn't go to the search page.  Many times it will go back to the last page I navigated to rather than the search page.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Of course after you asked it too all day for the problem to happen again.  And yes it is in the History.  I typed "arrow fletching" in the address/search bar, results came up, I clicked the first entry, didn't like and clicked back.  I was taken to the youtube video I was looking at before my search.  Using both the track pad swipes and arrow buttons it would just skip between the youtube video, and the first link I clicked.  Right past the actual search page.  When I opened up the history the search was there.  I even clicked the entry and it brought up the search results.  No idea what causes it to skip the search page.

    I also seem to have having this problem, despite having checked the "prevent" option in Preferences. Typing words into the Safari search bar (NOT the Google search bar on one of Google's search pages) leads to suggestions being made:

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *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 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.

  • Safari not saving pages in history when linked from GMail

    Ok, no one else is having crashing problems with GMail. Fine.
    How about this one... If you click on a link in a message while reading GMail, a new window will open with the destination web page.
    Now, if you click a link on that new page, the new location will open, but Safari did not save the original location in the history - the Back button is disabled, and it's not in the History menu.
    Now.. where's that "report bug" link...

    can you view the source code ( Safari-View-View
    Source ) of the main page, to see if it is the
    coding that prevents the back/forward & history in
    the new windows that are opened ?
    I'm looking at an email in Gmail, and it has this link:
    http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ActsAsTaggablePluginHowto/versions/32
    I click on it and that page opens in a new window. In that window, I click on the first link in the body, http://rubyforge.org/projects/taggable/, and that page opens in the same window, but there's no history I was at the wiki.rubyonrails.org page.
    Looking at the source for both the Gmail page and the wiki page doesn't indicate any special coding to achieve that. Frankly (I do web development), I'm not even sure how GMail would be able to control the new opened window and how the links would behave - not to mention being able to not store a clicked link into the history.
    Needless to say, this does not happen in Firefox or Omniweb.
    Well, whatever the problem is, it still exists in the latest version of Safari - from http://nightly.webkit.org/

  • Mozilla is not saving my browsing history beyond the last 7 days.

    On one of my 2 computers, Mozilla is not saving browsing history beyond the last seven days. On my other computer, it saves all my browsing history.
    Is there a setting I need to change? Is there some other reason for the abbreviated history?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Safari/KeyChain Not Saving Yahoo Mail Login/Password information?

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop, Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 and Safari browser Version 5.1.7  Snow Leopard. The problem is ... I recently changed my passwords on my Yahoo Mail accounts.   Safari will not prompt to save my login information for Yahoo Mail. It works with other web sites and worked with yahoo mail before I changed passwords.
    My attempts to correct the problem have been unsuccessful. I have tried the following: 
    1. Ran Updates
    2. Clicked on Safari > opened Preferences >clicked Auto-Fill all 3 boxes checked
    3. Finder >Applications > utilities > KeyChain     I found Yahoo mail and removed the old ones.
    4. With KeyChain open > Clicked KeyChain Access > Clicked KeyChain First Aid and Verify    No problems found
    5. KeyChain Access>  File > New Password Item>  Typed in KeyChain item Name as https://login.yahoo.com and tried mail.yahoo.com typed in Information and saved.
    I have checked the apple sites, the only thing I have found is what I did in #2. the boxes were already checked.
    May be I am missing the obvious here. If there is a solution I would appreciate the help. ?

    I'm having the exact same issue with Yahoo only on my iMac after changing the password.  I've been trying to fix it since yesterday, and yes I'm updated.  I also tried several fixes for the trojan.  Not luck for me yet.
    Corrections Completed for Safari 5.1.7:
    1- verified all updates completed
    2- deleted cookies for everything
    3- deleted keychain access for yahoo account. Interesting is that after deleting cookies and keychain, the username and old password keep populating but it hasn't stored the new password because I never received the prompt to store. 

  • Safari is not saving new bookmarks

    I had the same problem and in fact could not even retrieve my old bookmarks . What finally worked was something very basic, please try rebooting your IPad after leaving it off for 30-40 seconds , worked for me . All my original bookmarks are back and can add new ones too now.

  • Firefox is not saving my browsing history anywhere including the addressbar. All settings are correct in options.

    I had to re-install Firefox and since then all my history in the address bar is not being saved. I have followed the instructions and checked all the settings to save history but still no history being saved. Is there a way to go back to original default settings?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Hi, G.
    1. Given the range of problems you are reporting, the first thing I suggest is a general check: run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
    2. re: Safari and Desktop preferences: be sure you are the Owner and have Read & Write access to your Home > Library > Preferences folder. and any folders therein.
    3. Re: Help Viewer: See my "Troubleshooting Help Viewer" FAQ for comprehensive advice on fixing issues with Help Viewer, including the issue you mention.
    4. Default browser is set in the Safari > Preferences > General tab.
    Before you run a Software Update in the future again, See my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ for some tips that might help prevent these problems or provide you with a fallback position in case an update goes badly.
    Good luck!

  • Safari History not saving recent searches

    My Safari is not saving recent history. A few days ago my trackpad wasn't opening programs and now it seems to be fine. Now my preferences change every time I restart. Similarly, every time I reopen Safari, the newest history that shows is a few days old. For a few days now it's shown Friday the 17th (it's Monday now). I cleared the history and when I restart the application the history shows up like as if I never cleared it.
    Any help would be great, thanks.

    Repair Disk actions from the Install DVD
    Did Disk Utility report that the disk, "appears to be ok" ?? The instructions at that link were to check the startup disk for problems, not repair permissions.
    I didn't know how else to get to the user accounts
    Open System Preferences / Accounts. You can access non admin accounts there.
    If you haven't set one up, follow the instructions here.
    Creating a new user account: 10.5
    The reason we ask that users try another user account is to "test" Safari there. If you have the same "history" problems there with Safari, that's why you need to check the startup disk.

  • Website addresses are not saved anymore in safari history. why?

    Maybe after one the updates it happened that the addresses in safari are not kept in history anymore and I have write it down every time. Why?

    Do you have Private browsing turned on? In Safari, tap the new page icon at lower right (looks like 2 overlapping pages). If in Private mode the word Private will appear in a white rectangle at lower left; if Private mode is off there will be no white rectangle around the word. The search/url bar is also darker grey in Private mode.

  • HT4995 My location service on Google does not work and nothing is getting saved in my history bookmark

    My location service on Google does not work. It will not bring up my location. Also nothing is getting saved in my history folder in my bookmark.

    I have the same issue, I think. If I open Safari and search Walmart (google is my default search) it doesn't give me location results, and there is a little button at the top that says 'Use Precise Location.' If I tap that button nothing happens. Very frustrating. I've checked all my settings against my wife's iPhone, and my iPad, both of which work, and I can't find anything different.

  • Disable Saved Searches in Safari?

    Hi
    After the 4.2.1 update I have not been able to disable saved searches in safari. 
    I use Google and every time I hit the search bar on the upper right corner in Safari, I get a list of past searches..I cannot remember how to turn it off. 
    I tried the "do not save searches" in the google preferences/settings to no avail. 
    Any info would be great. 
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    That clears the history but it seems though after I do another search the search term stays in a new list for next time. I remember there was a way that Safari would not save your searches..I tried the Google preferences section but it's not sticking...I'm "saving" the changes also and restarting the iPhone but no luck. Thoughts?
    Thanks again!

    I have cleared history, reset my phone, tried using wifi and mobile data.

    I have this problem too and have tried all suggestions to fix, with no luck.
    Safari did work for a short time by switching to Private, but stopped working soon after

    When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network
