Searching for sites not web pages

This is not really a Safari question, although I'm using Safari as my browser. If there is a more relevant forum, please let me know.
I want to search for sites, not pages, that contain certain keywords. I'm looking for a variety of items and I want to find a site that sells all of them, not just one or two. So I envisage typing in the name of items A, B, C, D, W, X and up come web sites that contain all of those words.
Is this possible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try the help pages for your favorite search engine. Quotation marks and logical operators might help you structure your query. You might also try entering your search terms into a TextEdit document before you past them into your search engine, so you can keep track of the queries that are more successful and build on those.
For example, a popular search engine that rhymes with 'frugal' has extensive hints and help available here: http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134479&topic=1221 265&ctx=topic
Of course there are many generalized and specialized search engines available, so if one doesn't do the trick, keep trying others!
Just from practical experience, if you are looking for mass-produced brand new items normally distributed through retail channels and cannot find all of them on Amazon.com, you are probably looking for such specialized or costly items, that one vendor probably won't carry them all.
Some manufacturers still try to sell items through "authorized dealers only": computers, cameras, electronic components, jewelry, exotic cars, weapons, and 'collectibles', so you might not have much success if your search involves any or all of them.

How do I enable cookies for just one site or web page, without enabling cookies for ever site?

They should be enabled out-of-the-box, but it's worth checking.

How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
Platform: Windows 8 PC
Version: Acrobat 8
If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joyce.

Out the gate you've a problem.
The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
"End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
Be well...

How to make browser font (not web page fonts, I know how to do that) larger? Many older people need this.

Again not web page fonts. The font for the browser itself. The font for the menu, toolbars, ect. needs to be larger. My parents are 90 and 91 years young.

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
*Big Buttons: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/big-buttons/

Search for SAP notes is very poor

I find the "Search for SAP notes" functionality very poor
I was searching for a setting from a web.xml file
<param-name>SMTPFrom</param-name>
   in application area BOJ* and it came up with nothing
I even searched for
SMTPFrom
   and it still came up with nothing
but if I searched for
email from
then it came up with note number 1308076 which has an extract from the web.xml file I was interested in and even had the very line I searched for but it failed to find
is this very poor search functionality or am I doing something wrong?

I need a few tries to find a note too.
Especially the "Did you mean: ..." function is not working very well.
For example this one. I searched for "registered serverprogram" and it didn´t find anything.
But there was: "Did you mean: registered serverprogrammmmmmmmmm"
erm... yes. Very helpfull.

For Safari, on web pages, including this one, the use of ' (apostrophe) causes erratic behavior in text boxes. A contraction such as "I'v |e " has caused the cursor to backspace, displacing the e when the space bar is hit, or causes a juAsk your question.

Other browsers do not have this problem. When will Apple fix this problem?

With an older version of Firefox, we were able to search for sites and be forewarned about dangerous sites with warning icons. How can we enable the icons to appear again?

Recently our Office Depot Tech switched us from an older version of Firefox to the current version. For the last two years, we were able to search for sites on Yahoo and icons would appear. The icons would suggest that a site is unsafe to click onto because a red triangle with an exclamation point would appear. These icons no longer appear since the Tech switched us to the current version of Firefox. I want to be sure I am clicking onto safe sites. I believe the icon used to be a green padlock if the site was safe to enter.

You may need to reset your network settings, making sure the network you're accessing is stable: tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If your iPhone still can't connect to App Store, tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > tap the Apple ID and sign out > later, sign in with your Apple ID.

Search for a not numerical character

Hello,
is it possible to search for a not numerical character in a string?
E.g. # 1237538, the characters '#', ' ' and '' should be deleted.
The answer to this problem should be as fast as possible, because I have very many numbers to edit.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
<u><b>Finding Character Strings</b></u>
To search a character field for a particular pattern, use the SEARCH statement as follows:
SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
The statement searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. If successful, the return code value of SY-SUBRC is set to 0 and SY-FDPOS is set to the offset of the string in the field <c>. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
The search string <str> can have one of the following forms.
<str> - Function
<pattern> - Searches for <pattern> (any sequence of characters). Trailing blanks are ignored.
.<pattern>. - Searches for <pattern>. Trailing blanks are not ignored.
*<pattern> - A word ending with <pattern> is sought.
<pattern>* - Searches for a word starting with <pattern>.
Words are separated by blanks, commas, periods, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, parentheses, slashes, plus signs, and equal signs.
<option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
ABBREVIATED
Searches the field <c> for a word containing the string in <str>. The characters can be separated by other characters. The first letter of the word and the string <str> must be the same.
STARTING AT <n1>
Searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. The result SY-FDPOS refers to the offset relative to <n1> and not to the start of the field.
ENDING AT <n2>
Searches the field <c> for <str> up to position <n2>.
AND MARK
If the search string is found, all the characters in the search string (and all the characters in between when using ABBREVIATED) are converted to upper case.
Ex.
DATA STRING(30) VALUE 'This is a little sentence.'.
WRITE: / 'Searched', 'SY-SUBRC', 'SY-FDPOS'.
ULINE /1(26).
SEARCH STRING FOR 'X'.
WRITE: / 'X', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'
SEARCH STRING FOR 'itt '.
WRITE: / 'itt ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '.e .'.
WRITE: / '.e .', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '*e'.
WRITE: / '*e ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR 's*'.
WRITE: / 's* ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.

HT4623 I do not like the new iOS 7 operating system on my iPad. I do not like the Safari works, I do not see a way to enter or search for a new web site. Is there a way that I can go back to the older operating system?

I do not like the new iOS 7 system on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I can not like the way Safari works, I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites. Is there a way I can go back to the old iOS 6.1.5 operating system on my devices? Thank you.

I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites
Put your search terms in the combined URL and search bar at the top of the browser (exactly the same as you do in most modern desktop browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Explorer). There is no separate search box, just use the box where you enter web addresses.
And no, you cannot downgrade.

Calculators and Searches for Real Estate Web Site

I have a friend who has asked if I can make a real estate page for them them using my iWeb '08 program.
I've never done anything like mortgage calculators and home/msl searches. Does anyone know how to do these things, web sites that help with this, or is it even possible?
Any advise, tutorials, links, anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

There are plenty of free mortgage calculators you can add to a website....
http://www.widgetbox.com/search?q=loan+calculator
http://www.calculators4mortgages.com/calculators/loan/amortization_schedule.html
Your friend should have access to the MLS through their Realtor Association.
When my wife was involved in real estate in Northern California acting as a buyers agent for investors I used this site for research....
http://www.greathomes.org/
I'm sure you'll find other sites like this for other areas.
A realtor doesn't allow clients to search for homes - that's their job.
The best thing to have on a site like this is a form that potential clients can fill in with all the details of their requirements.
Wufoo has a mortgage application form which I modified for collecting home buyer information. Don't ask me how I did it because it was about two years ago!
As long as you are publishing to a hosting company that allows you to run scripts, you can build your own forms. Tutorial....

Clicking a link on a web page is taking me to an advertising site not the page it should go to.

When I click a link on a web page it will take me to an advertising page not the page it should take me to. This is only happening with firefox not the other browsers I use. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and this did not solve the problem.
Thanks for any help.
Larry

Thanks OldFox
Downloaded one of the listed antimalware software and ran it. It seems to be working ok now.
Thanks for your help.

A search box in dreamweaver, which searches the site not a google search

Hi would someone be able to tell me, when creating a search box in dreamweaver, do I have to create the pages that answer the text quires entered into the search bar? I know how to create contact forms etc, im just a little confused how a personalised search bar for a website in dreamweaver works. Any opinions or answers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Elle

others that maybe searching (irony?) for a search form will know what the best method is vs. the throw up in your mouth method that was suggested by others earlier in this thread.
@shocker,
The only reference to "vomit" here is your own. The rudeness of your remarks notwithstanding, you are once again misinformed, as is so typical when the discussion gets around to 3rd party solutions.
Freefind is used by Dynamic Drive as well as many other commercial web sites. Zoom from Wrensoft has received excellent reviews year after year. And believe it or not, you can fully customize the search parameters, form and results pages to match your site's CSS styles.
Unless the OP is well versed in dynamic site development (which I doubt based on his question), I'm afraid an off-the-shelf solution is about the best he can hope for.
