Safari and Russian Search Engin

Every time I search in the title bar of Safari Version 6.0 (8536.25) in Mountain Lion, the results come up from a Russian search engine (http://yandex.ru), even when I ask that the default be something like Yahoo. Any idea how I can change that? I don't want to use Google anymore because of the search tracking but I find going through a Russian ISP somewhat disconcerting.

Actually, I didn't mean to pose a question but search the discussions. I just did a search and the solution there was to delete the extension Omnibar, which includes the Russian search engine. Problem solved.

    It's not a virus.
    Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

  • I just installed ios8 on my ipad3 and now I can't exit out of the last search using Safari and Google search

    I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

    Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

  • How do i get Google and yahoo search engines to stay on Top Sites?

    How can I get Google and Yahoo search engines to stay on "Top Sites"?

    You pin the site to the top sites tiles
    1. Hover your cursor over the site on top sites you want
    2. Wait for the two buttons to show up in the top left corner
    3. Tap the one with the pin so it highlights in blue

  • Only Yahoo and Bing appear in the search box and the Search engine manager only shows them too.

    No matter what I try, only Yahoo and Bing search engines appear in the search box top right on Firefox. The Search engine manager only shows these two engines as well. I want to add Goggle and have not been able to. The default restore in the Search engine Manager is "Greyed out". What can I do to fix this ?

    If those search engines are also missing in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) then a (re)install should restore them.
    If they are present then try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

    Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?
    I like seeing which search engine I have selected and the ability to change it with a drop down list BEFORE I highlight text, right-click, and select ' Search Google for "xxxx" '
    Any way to roll back this latest "improvement"?

    If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
    crazy with menus, try this out;
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
    Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
    installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
    you want to use for each search.

  • HT4623 I have just updated to the latest ipad setting and my search engine no longer functions, please help.

    I should like to know if this may be a problem with the latest update iOS 7.1 and how can I correct it ,please. Thank you for your help.Rensah

    Hi JimHdk
    I was attempting to use google to find information.  Google stopped working for at least half an hour. I decided to plug the ipad in to recharge as the battery was below 50% and left it. Later, On restarting the ipad I discovered that the search engine was, and still is, working.
    I have heard that previous updates have caused problems to iPads etc and considered that this might have happened with this update, despite being unaffected on previous updates.
    My ipad is fully working now but I am curious to know why it happened as it has never stopped working since I purchased the ipad 18 months ago.
    I appreciate your contacting me I order to help. Many thanks, Rensah

  • I use bing as my homepage and primary search engine. Why is Firefox periodically showing plugin is disabled on Bing? How do I get it to stop doing this?

    As stated above, Firefox disables some plugin the bing homepage uses. I don't want this plugin disabled. Firefox doesn't tell me what plugin it is. I don't want Firefox, mozilla, or anyone else deciding for me what plugins should and should not be disabled. This is my computer, not yours. How do I stop Firefox from acting like it knows better than me what plugins to disable and when?

    In order to change the default search engine or the order of search engines in the top right search box in Firefox, please perform the following steps:
    #Move the mouse cursor inside the search box at the top right of the Firefox window and click the down arrow next to the provider's logo.
    #If you would like to select another search engine, simply pick the engine from the dropdown list.
    In order to change the order of the search engines, do this:
    #From the dropdown list, select ''Manage Search Engines...''.
    #In the upcoming window, you have all your search engines listed. To change the order, simply click one search engine and then select ''Move up'' or ''Move down'' from the buttons on the right side in order to change the order of the search engines.

  • Evaluation Questionaire Layout and Forum Search Engine

     
    Every website has customer surveys with no consistency as to whether good to bad is right to left or left to right leading to selecting the wrong values when filling out many surveys. Microsoft adds a hyphenated descriptor to the 0 value and the 10 value in their surveys to keep from selecting the wrong value which would be good practice for Lulu surveys or all surveys for that matter.
    Using FAQ forums to find answers is looking for a needle in a haystack. Some super coder should come up with a search engine that analyzes whole sentences to select results from forums.

    Some super coder should come up with a search engine that analyzes whole sentences to select results from forums.
    One did, a long time ago. It started with text-only games on PCs. Each new generation was able to understand more and more words up to complete sentences. You did have to be careful how you typed though. "Kill grey elf" would often get the reply "kill grey elf with what?"  "Kill which grey elf with what?" "Are you sure you wish to do that?" 
    Then someone created  Boolean logic into the equation. I think Ask Jeeves was the first searchengine to use it. You could ask it entire questions and it understood them, unlike most searchengines that can only understand up to 3 words even if you use , between some.
    But it has always mattered what you actually type in to a search engine.
    But it can be annoying when people hit forums via searchengine results because they end up posting in threads years old or subjects that are only 10% to do with what they searched for.

  • APEX and web search engines

    I was just wondering if a site built exclusively in Application Express has any disadvantages with regards to search engines. Since an APEX page is somewhat dynamic would a search engine (e.g. Google) still be able to "find it"? Or is it a better idea to build the front page of a site as a static page since people accessing this site from a search engine is very important to the site?

    See if the discussion at Re: is htmldb.oracle.com indexed by google answers your question.

  • IOS6 Magnifier Missing in Safari using Google Search engine

    Seems that i have lost the ability to move and place the cursor with or without the magnifier in the google home search box, when using google in Safari.  I can no longer get a magnifier to appear nor move cursor to middle of word to fix a typo.  This happend after IOS6. Anyone else?

    Hi I'm experiencing the exact same issue and joined up this forum only today just so I can reply - I have never felt the need to before and this is what the current ios6 issues have pushed me to do! Apple please act on the known issues ASAP and restore your customer's confidance!
    Rant over - so yes what I have found is that the top box doesn't work BUT the alternative 2nd search box at the BOTTOM works fine - I'm able to magnify, drag cursor and highlight as per usual
    So seems apple can't even be consistent in their issue causing updates!!
    @Apple support - please can someone reply and update us on this?

  • Safari and google search

    Hi Guys
    I have strange problem with searching google with Safari.
    Try to search any thing you want, I will call it "Search string 1" and feel free to click on any link then go back to the your google search page either by pressing back button or the gesture. Now try to do the same thing with another search criteria which I call it "Search String 2".
    NOW here is the problem:
    When you click on any result for "Search string 2" and go back to your google search page, you will see the  "Search string 1" in the google search textbox BUT the results are for "Search string 2".
    Very wired.
    any idea??
    Thank you

    That's nice my post helps resolving your problem.
    How is... actually I don't know exactly.
    But we (I mean Japanese) always have got problem with functions which automatically do something during typing.
    We always need change word from how I type to how I want by IME(Input Method Editor) because we have 3 different type of characters.
    (see this Youtube if you have a time, maybe you could imagine what I talk about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYVKT-TWB8A)
    So that kind of functions are really difficult to apply for Japanese services.
    And I have experience trying early beta of Google Instant Search, and remember that behavior was awful for Japanese. (now much better)
    Then I've got this problem, that idea suddenly crossed me which the cause of problem might be Google Instant Search, JavaScript for the search might be cause something bad for BACK operation.
    Just like that.

  • Firefox(20.0.1) is ignoring my proxy server for google searches from website and the search box. It works for all other search engines and chrome/safari.

    firefox(20.0.1)
    squid (port 3128) and dansguardian (port 8080) not running in transparent mode.
    I am applying blacklists and a custom url regex to apply "safe=vss", this works for all browsers and all search engines except firefox using google search engine.
    Search engines tested (bing, yahoo, norton, ask, amazon, avg, ebay) - all work.
    Links from the search results are blocked by content filter, but search results still appear and google images are still shown. This does not happen in Chrome(23.0.1271.97), IE9(9.0.8), Opera(12.14) or Safari(5.1.7) with the same settings.
    No log entry appears in Dansguardian access.log implying proxy settings are being ignored for just this combination.

    I can't think of a reason that one particular webpage would behave differently from all the others, i.e., if you are starting at google.com and running a search using the form in the page, I'm not aware of any reason for Firefox to handle that specially just because it's Google.
    Does it make a difference if you disable JavaScript when using Google? If that yields the results you expect, perhaps Google's XMLHttpRequest AJAX traffic is bypassing your filters?
    The search bar has its own code, so someone would need to look at that to see whether/why it bypasses your proxy if the above hypothesis does not apply.
