Search Google from the URL bar in safari not working, Help...

Hi to everyone,
im stuck here trying to find out why i can't search more in the url bar in safari. Just happened few weeks ago and i most use bing or yahoo.
I did try to delete cache and plist etc, everything i read in the net but still not working. I have mac pro 2011, and I'm not sure but i think this happened after i open a second account for my girlfriend in my mac, so she can have her own account. I check and in the other account happen the same...some ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do I change my default search engine in the URL bar back to Google after my ISP replaced my default search engine with their own?

Before I changed internet service providers, I could type my search queries into the url bar and receive search results from Google. After I switched ISPs, my queries typed into the url bar are put into my new ISP's horrible search engine. How do I change it back?
I've already tried going to about:config and changing the value of the keyword.URL preference to "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=" but that didn't fix my problem.
New information since creation of the post:
My ISP is Optimum. I have opted out of DNS Assistance and still have seen no change.
When my search term is two words or more, I am directed to Google search results. If my search term is only one word, however, I am still directed to Optimum's search results.

Hello samshine, try to reset the '''browser.search.defaultenginename''' in about:config and check it again.
thank you

I wish to remove "Show sidebar" and "Show Top Sites" from the Favorites Bar in Safari 7.0. How may I do so?

I aggree It's rather annoying that you can't remove these features when like me you never use them, however by far the most annoying part of this is that when you go into 'Customize Toolbar' you can actually add yet a second 'Show Top Sites' feature to the toolbar !! Even those people who actually want to use this feature don't require two of them. For crying-out-loud come on Apple, this has to be a joke right?!?

Highlighting from the url bar

This is probably an obscure grievance but as I'm trying to switch from Chrome to Safari one of the issues I have is on Chrome when you'd click the url bar once it'd highlight the entire url to either delete or write over, with Safari you have to triple click to get it all highlighted. Is there a preference to have it one click like Chrome?

No way to be able to just click anywhere on the url? I know about the favicon I just have a real finicky trackpad on the old macbook I use on occasion.

Search feature in the new 1.2 software not working

i just watched the video of the announcing of the new ipod features and it showed him using a search feature from the new 1.2 software but i dont have it on my ipod. why is this?

Apple, if you read this, please consider adding the search to "old" 5G models. I just bought a 60g a month ago (I know, silly me) and the search option is something I've needed since my original iPod a couple years ago.
I find it hard to believe that there is new hardware to support the search, although I suppose it might have a faster processor or something.
Anyway, I would really like to be able to search.
Please?

Searching from the url address window has stopped working

If I type a string in the url address bar and touch enter, I now get an error message saying that it's not a valid web address: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." It no longer searches in google for results. I've checked my about:config settings and they seem fine; keyword.url status is "default" and type is "string" with a blank value; for keyword.enabled, the status is "default", type is "boolean", and value is "true".

Hi,
You can also check '''browser.search.defaultenginename''' which has to be '''Google''' in this case.

On a Mac, how do I setup Firefox to use Command+Enter to open a new tab from the address bar? Safari and Chrome do this by default.

I tried this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/), but it doesn't appear to support editing the current "Alt+Enter" to change to "Meta+Enter" where Meta = Command on a Mac.
I want to switch to Firefox, but this is the one and only thing preventing me from doing so! I have a decade plus of muscle memory using the key next to the space bar + enter to open a new tab. Please help!

There is an older extension named keyconfig (last updated in 2011) which might be able to do it. I haven't used it for quite a while so I'm not sure how well it works any more.

When searching in Acrobat the progress bar appears to not reach end of document

I have a user running Adobe Acrobat 11 with the latest updates.
When she tries to search for a word like "Pending" in the current document the progress bar will come up showing which page it is currently on for the search.
If it's not found, or sometimes even when it is found the progress bar will stop updating and show 78/88 or 87/89 so it appears that it doesn't finish the search.
I have tested it and the search is finishing and going through the whole document, it appears to just be an update/display issue for the progress bar.
The user is concerned she might miss something she needs to find in these accounting/financial documents which could be detrimental.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or is this a known bug?

It seems that Safari is trying to force not only google searches through SSL but anything else it can too.
What is the point of it? How can I make it stop doing this? It slows down my searches a great deal.
I want FAST searches. Who's going to spy on me when I search google? I mean really... Come on now..

You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

Hi,
There is a SAP Note related to your issue, have a look at this.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_sbo_adm/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d373033303238%7d]
...For companies using the Continous Stock System feature, there are three additional scenarios in which the row Exchange Rate will be copied from the base document regardless of the calculation method chosen in the 'Draw Document Wizard':
a) Goods Receipt PO -> Goods Return.
b) Goods Return -> Goods Receipt PO.
c) AP Reserve Invoice -> Goods Receipt PO.
Hope this helps,

Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool? Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic. You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either. Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

Have you tried this?
From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

How do i get a fullstop when texting. I try to double click the space bar but its not working.

The fullstop was working when i first got the phone but now its not. I am new to the i phone and not sure what i am doing. Its the i phone 4s.
Also i dont know how to get the menu up while i am on the phone talking. For example if the company i am ringing requires me to press 1 for connection i cant get to the screen with the numbers. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for any help......

Check Settings>General>Keyboard and make sure that "." Shortcut is set to On.
When you are on a call, you should see a panel of six icons. The dial pad is the middle one on the top.
