Searching web pages

Since updating to IOS 7.1 everytime I try to search for a web page it automatically goes to itunes store. If I do manage to get to the web page it only stays there for a few seconds and then goes to itunes store. Don't know if it is a setting on the ipad or what is happening. Even if I bookmark the page when I try to open it the screen goes to itunes. Help

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Now close Safari. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?

When I go to search the web on safari my screen is greyed out and I can't click on any anything. What should i do?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IOS5 and Google Web Page Search Is Tracking You???

(...Sorry had to updated this post with non html imported text....)
IOS5 and Google Web Page Search Is Tracking You
Since upgrading to iOS5 I have found a new behavior with Google search web page that was not the same behavior in iOS4. The Google search web page in iOS4 Safari would keep a history of your recent searches, even if you were not logged into a Google user account. (I want to be clear that I am talking about the Google web page search, not the Safari/Google toolbar, nor any additional Google app installed on the iPhone!) This search history was helpful on the iPhone as it allowed you to research or modify a search with less touch typing required.
Previously in iOS4 you could go into the iPhone Settings>Safari and find options for clearing cache, history, cookies (and I believe website data/databases). After doing a clear of all these options you could go back to the Google web page search and find that Google's web page and your browser had forgotten all you past search terms.
I always understood that when searching with Google, their website always provided a cookie file that gets stored on you computer/iPhone and that Google used this cookie data file to help id you as a unique visitor to their search web page. Based on this cookie file, Google was able to keep a history of your recent search terms and most suspected that Google could even tailor search results for you based on recent search terms and location information you had chosen to provide to the Google search web page.
With iOS5, I am no longer able to clear my cache, history, website data, or auto fill forms options in the iOS Safari settings so that that all Google cookies or other data is removed from my Safari web browser. No mater how I work through the Safari settings for clearing my browser data files, each and every time I go back to the Google web page search it still provides me a history list of all my past searches, even after clearing all cache, cookies, history, and website data settings. Again this is only the Google web page based search, not the Safari search tool bar. Again this occurs for Google search users that are not signed into a Google user account.
After pounds of searching, the only way you can clear this Google web page search history is to follow the link/directions on a mobile device to a Google page with these instructions:
“Clear search history on iPhone”
    For users not signed in to a Google Account
    Follow these steps to clear your search history:
        Tap Settings on google.com.
        Select Clear saved searches to remove your previous searches.
Note: This will remove all of your previous searches done on the phone. If you don't want your searches to be saved, tap Settings, then under the Search History section select Do not save searches. Be sure to save your preferences."

This is what all of the world's web bloggers find and point you to when people want to know how to clear their Google search results. What I am outraged about, is that everyone isOK with this and seams to think this is a good thing???
If I have cleared all my web data from my Safari browser, how in the world is Google providing me with old search results every time I go back to the Google search web page?
Why is it that I have to go to a specially crafted Google webpage for mobile devices and then tell Google to stop tracking my search results?
How in the world is Google still tracking me after I have removed all cookies, web site data, and autofill settings from the Safari browser and while I am not logged into Google?
What possible identifying information am I still providing to Google that uniquely identifies me and provides my own personalized search history?
The only thing left that is possible is that Apple's iOS5 is providing some unique identifier, or that Apple has decided to omit clearing of Google's cookies from the Safari browser cache. If you go to the mobile webpage link for Google web search settings and choose to clear you search history, Google honers this request.
http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
(note this is a different preferences page on the mobile version, not the same options as a desktop browser)
Here at this preferences page you can also tell Google not to “Save” your searches. If you are NOT logged into a Google user account, the search history is cleared, but then all saved settings are defaulted back to tracking/saving you search results if you are not logged into a Google user account.
The problem with this is you always have some unique ID that is being sent to Google, without you consent. Google promises that they will not track your search, but you have to go to Google web search settings and request that they get ride of data that they are already tracking about you.
YES we should all know by now that Google is collecting information about what you are searching on with cookies that are stored on your computer. Google has now a public habit of doing this for all users by default, even if they are not logged into a Google user account. This is fine because up until now, you could always clear your web browser cache and your Google cookies would be wiped clean and to Google you would appear to be a new user.
YES again I know that Google could use my IP address as a common unique identifier for me. But these Google webpage search issues are also happening on a iPod touch that is only connected to Wifi, and the Google search terms are following me around from new hot spot to new hot spot, even after clearing the Safari web cache in between new Wifi locations.
The only possible explanation is that the iPhone/iPod and Safari web browser is providing Google some unique identifier about me that is persistent, even after all Safari web browser cache data is supposed to be cleared.
How and why is the iPhone iOS5 providing a unique id about you to Google's web page search???

andrewfromfreeport – I truly appreciate you looking at this and contributing. My hope is that more people can take a look at this.
But that “Clear History” link at the bottom of the Google web page search is exactly what I am worried about. That is a server side link that you can use to ask Google to kindly stop tracking your search history.
I am fine with Google using what ever tools they can to track my search. That's what they do. What I am having issue with is that Apple/Safari is enabling this with some unique identifier that allows Google to have a lasting connection with me, everywhere I go. It used to be that web browsers were built to allow you to clear your history and provide some level of privacy.
I find it very interesting that this persistent behavior with Safari and Google has just started after Safari was given a private browsing feature. So now with a wink, and a nod, Apple will provide a unique ID about you, to Google and who knows who else, without your permission. If you really have any need for privacy, you have to go enable the private browsing feature, and who says that works???
Looks like I might need to go dig up the EULA for iOS5, as a bet there are new terms allow indexes or history of device usage for error reporting of other features....
Last week I posted the same day iOS 5.01 was released, hopefully this post will hang at the top long enough for some more attention...

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

Web page different from opening link in a new tab or new window from Google search results

I had been using another browser for a few months because I did not want to lose the web pages I opened within Mozilla. I began using Mozilla again after saving off the web pages. I see that Google's web page pulls in search results as I type in keywords, a feature I don't remember seeing with other browsers along with a magnifying glass icon, like a look ahead of what a web page looks like before clicking on the link.
With the list of search results, I click on the link and tell Mozilla to open the link in a new tab. I see the google icon, "loading..." or "testing...", then results other than the link I wanted. Those other results maybe bing.com, http://66.45.255.230/click.php?c=0920f96609cb269f1d0045095c09, http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X, Info.com, Supermedia Reverse Proxy (http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X)or whatever else. As for the link, I managed to press stop before being redirected.
This is with any search results listed.
I thought it was Google.
Changed to Instant is off.
Nope. Still the same issue. Have already gone after malware. Tried resetting the redirect value to 0.
Above results also occur when opening the link in a new page via right menu click.
Copying link location and pasting in a new window is displaying results okay.
When resuming use of Mozilla, an update was available and installed. Did not experience the above issues before the update.
Running version 3.6.12. Running Win XP Pro SP3.
Had to go back to IE and Chrome/SRWare Iron.
Example:
Google keywords: rental cars
Clicked on Ad: _Avis_Rent_a_Car_, link is Avis.com
Clicked on top search result: Hertz_Rent-a-Car_-_Rental_Car_Discounts,_Coupons,_and_Great_Rates (magnifying glass), www.hertz.com

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Thank you!

Your brother may have downloaded and installed something known as "adware." To see if that's the case, visit thomas_r.'s The Safe Mac website and look at the Adware Removal Guide page. You may also be able to use his Adware Removal Tool to get rid of the junk.
Good luck,

HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

How can I add a "search" field for web pages content-not blogs or podcasts?

This seems to be such a basic function, I can't believe I'm having so much trouble. I don't have a blog or a podcast on my new website that I'm in the process of designing. So how do I allow people who'll visit my site to search there for specified content? The only instructions I find are for the RSS in inspector for blogs or podcasts. All I want is for people to be able to search my site/web pages (that have no blogs or podcasts on them). This must be a common request... or am I crazy? How do I do that?
Thanks for your help.

I think I've answered my own question after a few hours of searching:
