Search forum on right of page

Even though I have a new Mac, whenever I start to enter a term in the search forum box on the right of the page, I get a drop down of six old searches (from over two years ago).
How do I get stop the old search terms showing as a drop down?
Thanks.

Are you using Safari? If you click the magnifying glass in the search box, you should see your old searches and an option to clear at the bottom.
If you are using Firefox, you can use the "Clear Recent History" command, select Search and Form data and change the time from "last hour" to "everything". The problem with that is it will clear all your search and form data, not just from Apple Discussions, so hopefully you are using Safari.

Irony: Why can't Safari render the Search Forum box on this page correctly?

I've tried loading the Apple Discussions page on several different Macs, and the Search Forum box is never rendered correctly. It looks like there is a search box inside a box, and looks ugly.
It looks more normal on Firefox.

It may have no adverse effect on the search results, but it gives a poor impression and ultimately reflects badly on Apple and their Safari web browser... especially when other web browsers manage to render the page perfectly well.
That the forum is powered by 3rd-party software is hardly mitigation and, if anything, only reinforces the irony mentioned by the original poster.

Search forums - please restrict to current forum

The "search forums" field in the top right of the page currently searches all the forums. It would seem more logical for it to only search forums at the level that the user is currently browsing.
Alternatively add a "search this forum" field.

They claim it is updated in the next production release (though I don't have a date for it making it to our site yet).
>With Jive SBS, the quick search available in the user bar has an option that allows the user to limit the quick search results based upon the container being viewed within the context of the current page. So if looking at Space A, if you type some text in the quick search, there is now a link at the top of the results that can be used to limit the results to only Space A. The same holds true when viewing the profile of a particular user - there is a link at the top of the quick search results allowing the user to limit results to only those by the current user being viewed.
>Also, on the search page in Jive SBS, the more options sections has been completely redone. It now includes a text field into which you can type the name of a container that you want to limit results to rather than having the select list box from previous versions.

How can I get a search bar added to my email archives screen to make it easier to search for the right archives folder, Samsung has one so I was surprised to see that I have to scroll up and down to find the right folder?

Right side page has moved up 1/4" alongside left handed page

I am working on an InDesign catalog project. I have come upon a right-handed page where the entire page has moved up about 1/4" next to the left sided page. I checked the master pages and they are fine. All the other pages in the document are okay as well. They are all aligned correctly.
Any idea how to correct this?

Since installing the latest FF version 14.0.1 the search boxes on the home page don't work with google

The normal google page works fine, but the search boxes on the home page (below firefox logo and the one top RH corner) just go nowhere unless you change the search provider using the dropdown, to yahoo or bing etc, in whcih case it searches fine - just won't work with google, which I prefer to use. I have an older version 3.6.13 on another desktop and that still works fine.
Any ideas team?

golden-grace, to answer some of your questions:
* Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and will no longer be updated for security vulnerabilities or any other updates.
*On resetting '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''': It's normal for the "welcome to Firefox" tab to open and for that preference to revert back to user-set and show Firefox 14.0.1 afterwards.
*On deleting the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and then resetting that preference again: You can open the Profile folder from the Firefox Help -> Troubleshooting Information page. See the [[Profiles]] article for more information.
* On installing new search engines from http://mycroft.mozdev.org that simply adds new search providers to the [[Search Bar|Search Bar]]. It does not install a new search bar. You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.
Getting back to Google not working from the about:home homepage or from the upper right corner search box, you said,
''the page tab changes to "connecting" and the little circle starts revolving, just as though it is looking for the page as normal and at the bottom of the home page the message appears "waiting for www.google.com"''. You also said in your original post that, ''The normal google page works fine.'' Which normal google page is that?
If you can go to www.google.com directly, and it works fine:
I would try removing Google from the list of search providers and then use the "Restore Defaults" button in the Search Bar "Manage Search Engine List" dialog to add it back to the list, then select it again as your default. The [[Search Bar|Search Bar]] article explains in detail how to do that. (Alternately, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] add-on. This should also add back Google and set it as the default.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, that's a whole other issue. Putting that aside for now, if you would rather use google.co.uk from the Search Bar, you can install it as an additional choice from the Search Bar drop-down menu, by going here:
* http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html ... where it's listed as '''''Google UK - the Web (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project'''''. (You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, you could troubleshoot that by following the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article (I would start with clearing cookies and cache) but all of these steps may be frustrating for you. Another option is to simply reset Firefox (which saves your bookmarks, passwords, and some other essential data) to see if that resolves the problem. You can do that from the Firefox Help -> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/provide-detailed-information-for-firfox-issues#w_accessing-the-troubleshooting-information-page Troubleshooting Information page]. For details, read the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article. You can then go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html and select your preferred Google search engine to use from the Search Bar.

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Safari 4 displays incorrect the apple discussion search forum textbox

The Search Forum textbox on the right displays double in Safari 4.0 while its ok with Firefox.
E.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9606505#9606505

Hi
That's distorted image file appeared with Safari 4 Beta and still hasn't been corrected. There's been other threads reporting it. Maybe Safari 5.

Safari opens only these forums and other Apple pages?

I had to remove the router from my iMac last night, so I set the Network panel to work with the DSL modem only. After doing so, Safari only connets and opens the Apple forums and other Apple pages, nothing else. Also, Sotware Update won't work.
I have reinstalled the router, and right now the Network panel indicates that the network is working, and that the computer is connected to the Internet via the router and modem. It does not matter how many times I "Create A new Location" and then apply it. Safari won't work with any of the bookmarks, except for the Apple bookmarks.
I restarted the computer from the (backup) external hard drive and ran Safari from there, and it works fine. However, I followed the advise of an Apple Technician on a chat, and was told that I could drag Safari from the external HD to the internal, and replace Safari with it. I did so, and then restarted from the internal HD, placed the Safari alias in the trash, created a new alias and put it in the Dock, and used Safari. But Safari is having the same problems.
It seems that both Safari, and Software Update follow the same path from the computer to the Internet, so i am trying to figure with files in the System have screwed-up.
Do you have any ideas of what the problem with Safari may be?

I will respond to myself to keep you informed of the progress with my problems and Safari/Software Update:
1. I created another account, but again there was no change with Safari nor with Software Update. I am certain that the problem is related to Software, perhaps Preferences and such.
2. However, since I don't know enough about OS X to mess around with it, I decided to start from the LaCie external HD as I did before, and proceeded to perform a "Smart Update" with SuperDuper. Before the Smart Update, I printed the last unread e-mail in the mailboxes, since I know that SuperDuper would erase those. I backed the iMac's HD a couple of days ago, before encountering all of these problems with Safari, so all the files and applications are fresh and in good order.
3. I am replaying to myself using Safari, after I restarted from the iMac's internal HD. Safari now works as well as ever, and I am certain that Sotfware Update will work fine, too.
I hope that Apple takes notes on the problems several of us are having with Safari. Just for the records: This version of Safari is the latest in Mac OS 10.4.2. A week or so ago, I upgraded OS 10.3.9 to OS 10.4, and had quite a lot of trouble with the Network panel. Regardless of the settings to use a router and modem, or jut the DSL modem, a connection to the server could not be established, and whenever such connection was possible, Safari would only open the Apple pages, and Software Update would not work.
I ended-up erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Mac OS 10.4 three more times, for a total of four, before I could get Safari and Software Update to work. On the last attempt, the only difference from the other attempts was that this time I didn't dare use Safari until every little update was installed by Software Update. Now, please note that the problems I had then were not exactly the same, since this time Network Diagnostics passed the connection test with flying colors. The previous times, a connection could not be established 99% of the time. But even though the problems were not exactly the same, I believe that whatever happens, to Safari, FireFox (FireFox was not working), and Software Update is related to whatever path these applications follow toward an Internet connection.

How to use "Search Forum"?

Browser doesn't display the right web page

Hey everyone,
I have this problem with a web page that doesn't display
right. What happen was my client has a news web page that is being
updated once every week. The way I update it is changing the
content on Dreamweaver and copy the codes and pasting them on the
server interface, and resave them. Thus, over riding the old news
page.
Everything display right on my computer. The only thing is I
have to refresh my browser in order for the right page to show up.
Once it did, then it stays as that.
The thing is, my client still sees the old news page even
after I've replaced it with the new codes.
I've done this for him for over 3 months, and this problem
has never occur before.
I don't understand why it's like this. If this is happening
to him, wouldn't it be happening to other people's computer as
well. If it is, then it's bad news, cause no one would like to
always have to refresh their browser for the right news page to
show.
Could anyone explain why this is happening? And how would it
affect other users? Or is this even possible.
Thanks in advance, everyone.
Jen

It sounds like a cache issue. When you view the page, that
page is loaded into your (or your client's) browser's cache memory.
This is done so that when you return to that page it will load
faster (since it is already loaded into memory).
This will only happen if a person has been to the page
recently. There is a limit on the amount of information your
browser will store in cache memory. The more you surf, the more
likely it is that the page will be replaced in the cache memory
with some other information.
You (and your client) can, depending on what browser you are
using, set your preferences so that all web pages will be
completely reloaded every time you visit them. In IE 6 for Win:
Tools>Internet Options>Settings> Select 'Every visit to
the page'. You can also set your cache to be the minimum amount of
space alotted. Note: This doesn't really work very well in IE 6 for
WIN. I use firefox for reviewing changes because I have found IE 6
is completely unreliable for viewing the latest.
Most other browsers will allow you to hold down Shift and hit
'refresh' to throw out the cache for that page and view the latest.
As far as I know this is standard operating procedure for proofing
new pages.
If there is a coding technique to force a browser to use only
the latest information, I don't know what it is.
Good luck.

ADF Search form inside a jsp page's panel page container

I am going through the Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms & PL/SQL book and I got to page 391 where I need to drop a search form onto a jsp page set up with a panelpage. The form show up but when I go to delete the extra fields JDeveloper completely locks up. I am running JDeveloper version 10.1.3.3.0.4157. I tried reinstalling it and it still locks up. I tried going back a few steps and recreate the search form and it still locks up.
Can anyone explain why it is locking up or how to delete the extra fields without locking up?

I also tried selecting a field in the source file code window. Just selecting a field in any form or window locks up JDeveloper. My program worked find until I created a search form from a data set. I think it is a bug in the version of JDeveloper I have. I did a similar task in a previous version and it worked fine. I could select and delete fields with no problem.
