Search bar isn't working.

Searching from the address bar does nothing. Typing searches in the search bar does nothing. Under "Manage Search Engines", all options are greyed out, and clicking "get more search engines" does nothing. I've started in Safe Mode with the same result. I've tried deleting and re-intalling Firefox and have tried a new profile. All with no change.

Hello fleafly32, go for a clean re-install, this means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default on '''Windows''' :
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
*C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

The search bar isn't working.

Also when I click the down arrow next to search nothing works there either.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Search Bar doesn't work in normal itunes but works in safe mode

I am not sure if anyone else is having this problem but with Itunes 11.0.4 The Search bar doesn't work no matter what you type any result you get you click on it nothing happens. I recently went into Itunes Safe mode and the Search bar works fine. I really hope Itunes fixes this with the next update.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I've found a solution!
Uncheck the "search entire library" option in the search bar then check it again.

Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS

Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS'''bold text'''

Hi Sameer,
There's no version of Windows Vista that is supported, regardless of service packs. You can always upgrade to Windows 7, though.
Your other option is to use Brackets, the open source editor that Edge Code is based on. It still supports Vista for now. The downside is that Brackets lacks some features of Edge Code: Kuler integration, Edge Inspect integration, and Edge Web Fonts code hints -- although all of those except Kuler are offered as optional Brackets extensions too (you just have to install them).
Hope that helps,
- Peter

ITunes 11.1.4.62 search function isn't working (Windows 8)

My search function is working, but I am unable to press the grey buttons. For example, I can still search for items in the search bar such as "beyonce" and when I press enter, all songs related to Beyonce show up. But I am unable to click the grey "+" button and the ">" arrow button when searching for a particular title. My problem is similar to this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5206626
However, when I follow the solution there, the problem still isn't solved. I'm using Windows 8.
Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem after the update yesterday. In addition, I was looking through iTunes preferences and noticed my older devices listed along with my current ones and decided to delete the older devices that were listed.
I wasn't sure if the new "Trust This Computer" that is now appearing on the iPhone 5S and iPad after I connect my lightning connector without any sync occuring was due to my deletion of the older devices listed that somehow contained a backup for my current devices, or due to the 11.1.4.62 update.
After reading the above listing I am guessing the new "Trust This Computer" that is appearing with failure to sync after selecting "Yes" on my iPhone 5S and iPad is due to the iTunes update.
Hopefully this is not just a Windows 8.1 64 bit problem, otherwise I'm afraind it may take a long time to be addressed. It's a little scary to see I am only the second listing making me think this could be a Windows problem.

My centre search bar will not work, I type in it then hit search or enter but no response, it does absolutely nothing. What is wrong and how do i fix?

when i start up firefox it loads as normal. I have the main web search bar (top left) and the google search bar (top right) then there is also the mozilla logo and third search bar just below it in the centre of the screen. This was my main bar as i liked the feature of left clicking in it and it instantly displaying my last searches and choosing from them what i wanted to do. Now it has just stopped working, it has none of my last searches stored and whatever i type in it doesn't matter anyway as it just doesn't do anything, it is totally non responsive. help please?

It works again, thanks. It was only a small thing but so annoying. Do you know why this happened so I can maybe avoid it in future?

Search Function isn't Working on Specific PDFs in iBooks?

Recently, I have been having problems with the search function in iBooks. I have opened 2 large PDFs in iBooks, the primary reason being to use the search function, and 1 of the 2 PDFs is not coming up with any results for searches. File 'A' ha no problems at all with searching, but file 'B' just comes up with the message "Search Completed No matches found" Note that both PDFs came from the same (clean) website.
Everything is up-to-date on my device (iPhone 5s) iOS Version: 8.2, iBooks Version: 4.1.1. I don't know why the search on this particular PDF Isn't working, as all other PDFs I have in iBooks perform just fine with the search function.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

my google search bar does not search - it just returns and does nothing - i read that having personas causes this - but i had them before
i understand there are other issues with incompatibilities in 3.6.9 - are fixes on way

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

My search bar is not working

when i type something in my search bar at the top right of the page and hit enter or click on magnifying glass, nothing happens. it doesn't matter what search engine i select. can you help?

EDIT : I had this problem too (see below) but restarting the computer cleared it (although previously restarting Iceweasel hadn't).
So... Cool.
Hi
I have this problem too, with Iceweasel 5.0 under Debian Squeeze.
Deleting search.sqlite and search.json or even formhistory.sql as suggested here and elsewhere did nothing.
Problem exists with all search engines (not just google) and I don't have the google toolbar.
Very annoying...

Firefox 5 search bar does not work.

I have downloaded firefox 5 and the search feature does not work.

See:

My search bar does not work

I just installed Firefox 4. When I enter something into my search bar on the home page.... nothing happens. I've tried hitting enter and clicking on the search button. I have also waited and waited. Nothing.
I have to manually enter a new site in the address bar or go to a bookmark to search for anything.
I have tried reinstalling to the same effect.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this:

Adobe Prelude CC Search Function isn't working correctly? HELP!

Hey guys,
In need of some help, I am using the "tag" feature in prelude CC, tagging clips with multiple words IE "Day One, Interview, Ben"
When searching the footage the clips can be seen if I type the words "Day One" or "Ben" however if I type them back to back IE: "Day One Ben" Prelude can't find any footage.
I really need to be able to search for multiple tags/comments at once. Have tried this in Premiere CC and it works perfectly just Prelude isn't.
Has anyone else had this problem or can suggest a fix of how to search for multiple tags/comments.
Thanks,
Nico

Hi -
Prelude currently searches for exact string matches - including punctuation.
We are looking into providing a more capable search engine in the future.

Need help manually adding music, side bar isn't working!!

holy crap, after 2 hours of trying to figure out why it wasn't working I had to have the "manually add songs" in ipod summary checked EVEN THOUGH music sync was unchecked. What kind of reasoning is this... -____-

Mail search bar doesn't work

The title tells it all: the Search feature in Mail doesn't work. I can see dozens of messages to a various people, but the Search feature doesn't find any of them. How can I fix this?

Niku,
Highlight the mailbox you want to search on the left, or Inbox for all accounts. Enter a search criteria in the mail search window. At that point a small criteria bar opens just above the column titles and below the toolbar. It's easy to miss. This gives you more granular control of the search, such as "Entire Message, From, To, Subject etc." also "all mailboxes or Inbox".
If the search still fails, see if Spotlight will find the email. If not, than there is an indexing problem.
Whoops! I just noticed that I did something wrong, so before I proceed, I want to get your thoughts. What happened is that while using your advanced search method, I created six "Smart" Mailboxes. I don't know anything about "Smart" mailboxes, but before I delete them, I want to be sure that I won't forever lose all the messages now contained in them. In other words, how do I delete the "Smart" mailboxes while keeping all of the messages that are now in them?

Interactive Report Search bar is not working

Hello all,
I'm working on a Report. I has two regions, one is for select list criteria and Other is sql query.
To remove the No data forund. I added REQUEST = 'GO' for sql region.
When i run the report, selecting all my criterias and click search i get the interactive report.But the tool is not working. If i remove the REQUEST = 'GO' it's working.
Can anybody please help me.
Thanks,
Keerti

Keerti,
You're using the "Display Condition" of the Interactive Report Region (IRR) to show the report or not.
If you have multiple selects just use a PL/SQL expression as in:
:P1_MULTI_1 IS NOT NULL
AND :P1_MULTI_2 IS NOT NULLNow, if that works for you lets take things a little further... You don't need the second submit button all the time (I'd get rid of it entirely but you seem to really want to hide the region until a selection is made). I did the following:
1. Updated the display condition of the report to use a PL/SQL expression.
2. Set the display condition of the submit button to the opposite of the IRR.
3. Added the item name of the select to the interactive report attributes > Advanced Attributes > Page Items to Submit.
Now the go button can be used for everything.
Regards,
Dan

Updated as only clicking "go" works with Page Items to Submit.
