Spotlight search no longer searches the web?

Spotlight search was the best in Mavericks - it searched the web. Yosemite no longer searches the web.
Settings has no spot to add the web search.
I have to open Safari to do a web search - good grief.
It was temporarily removed from iOS7 and restored after popular demand.
I hope this happens with Yosemite. Please.

After searching help on spotlight and clicking on show me Bing search in preferences, the addition preferences showed up and the web searches began happening. The preferences did not go all the way to 21 when I first looked at them and scrolled down. The web search was definitely not included because so few results were returned as opposed to the identical search now. I'm not sure why the preferences for Bing search were omitted when I first review preferences prior to doing the search of help.
It appears to now be searching the web and have the ability to include web searches optionally.

  • Quick search no longer searches on parts of words, only whole words. How do I fix this?

    Quick search no longer searches on parts of words, only whole words. So for Example, if I were normally searching for my colleague with the last name of chadwick, I would type c then h then a then d until the list on left chadwick. Now, when I do a search on "chadw" nothing comes up and i have to type in the full word or name. I am a victim of one of these recent "upgrades" I guess.

    Never mind. It was because I had the search set to searching the body of all the messages.

  • Ff24, windows 8: displaying bookmarks in a sidebar no longer resizes the web pages to the remaining viewable area. ff24 does do it on my other windows 7 pc's

    ff24, windows 8: displaying bookmarks in a sidebar no longer resizes the web pages to the remaining viewable area. ff24 does do it on my other windows 7 pc's

    Are you sure that you are opening the Bookmarks sidebar and aren't using the Bookmarks Menu button that show the bookmarks in a drop-down list?
    Firefox has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop-marker that open the Bookmark menu and may appear on the Navigation Toolbar or on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    The other star button without the drop-marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks).
    You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop-marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items).<br />
    If you do not see the drop-marker then try them both to see which works.

  • Search for documents in the web UI

    We have created a new work center Z_CM which enables application component "CRM-IC-ARD", with a view "ICCMP_CM/CMSearch".
    This view should incoporate the standard functionality, but I can't search for document descriptions.
    Should I use our TREX, enterprise search? How do I enable document search in the web UI. I have not been able to find any documentation about this.
    So do anyone have some info on this topic?

    Hei,
    We are having the same problem with the document search as you used to have. Can you please tell me how you solved it?
    Thanks a lot.

  • "Search" No Longer Searches

    Some weird things are going on within my Lr lately.  #1 The most disturbing is when a file mysteriously looses its connection to the home file and I go to search for it, Lr gets hung up trying to also locate nearby files.  I have to force quit, start over, only to do it again.  I've unchecked "connect nearby photos" box, but that becomes super slow in connecting all the disconnected photos.  #2 If I have to reload Lr, how do I retain all the adjustments/metadata I've already made to them?  Thanks,  Bill
    PS On one occasion out of the 10 I tried, it worked like it is suppose to.  Go figure!

  • I can no longer see the web page address that I am on. This is vital as I am a student and often need to cite the web page I am visting.

    when I search the web and am taking to my search destination, the search box does not show the http address that I am on. I need that information to cite the page that I am on. What must I do the fix this problem.

    Some add-ons can cause this. Does the problem go away when you restart Firefox with add-ons disabled?
    * [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If yes, you can either troubleshoot further to find the problematic add-on, or you can reset Firefox to discard all add-ons and preferences while retaining essential data like bookmarks and passwords.

  • I can no longer access the web on my IPod Touch through my home wifi network.

    I have an I Pod Touch with operating system 4.2.1.  It has worked fine the past year plus.  Suddenly, I can no longer access webpages on it.  When  try to load a website, looks like it is trying to open the page, but it never fully loads and times out. My I Pod indicates that it recognizes my wifi network and I have tried resetting both my I Pod and my router.  Weirder yet, I can access my Yahoo email on my I Pod and if there is a website link embedded in an email message, i can open it and access the page that way.  Any link on the web page opened through my email however does not work.  My home computer, which is on the same wifi network, is working fine.  The only thing that did occur recently was a power outage. 
    Please help - this is very frustrating.

    LTE indicates cellular. Tap Settings > Cellular then switch Cellular Data ON.
    If your Wi-Fi is working, then you should be able to access the internet.
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    * No data is lost due to a reset

  • Using Firefox 4, the URL bar no longer displays the web address for my current web-site so I can't copy and paste links. Plus there's no refresh button.

    I upgraded to Firefox 4 and so far I really don't like it, but I still would like to give it a chance. However, the URL address bar no longer shows the current address for websites that I surf into. So it makes sharing pages or emailing links next to impossible. In addition to that, there is no Refresh icon that I can find so I'm stuck just hitting F5 to refresh my page.
    Short of downgrading, is there anyway I can change those particular issues?

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • How Best to Search pdf Files Over the Web

    I have a large number of pdf files. (about 73,000). These are scans of old newspapers that have been OCR'd and saved as pdf. I work in a library and need to find the best way to make these text-searchable through my library's website.
    Do I need to create an index?
    What I would like to do is have a search box on my web page where a user can enter a keyword, and pull up the pages that contain that word.
    Any suggestions on how best to do this are greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks!

    Google can do it for you if you use their search engine as the basis of your library search capabilities.

  • Firefox 5 Searching for images on the web is much slower than opera and my previous Firefox version. Can I turn off the useless zoom thing when I hover over an image for a few seconds?

    OK, what I want to do is search for images with Google or similar search engine. This was fine in my previous FF version. The images just loaded as thumbnails, all the same size and I had to click on one to open it in a new tab or whatever I wanted to do. Now the images load all different sizes and if I hover for a moment over on, it zooms in a bit and gives me some image details. This slows image searching to the point of being very frustrating. I thought this might be a Google things, so tried other search engines. Tried switching Javascript off to speed things up, just blank grey rectangles displayed. Tried Opera and it loads basic images like Firefox used to, FAST...

    The speed of image searching isn't a problem for me. The trouble is, the automatic zoom function is lightning fast and I find it disturbing to the point that it makes me feel very ill.
    I very much want a way of suppressing it.

  • I have Agilent 8166A(Lightwave Multichannel Sys. I did not find GPIB drive for this Equipment.I also search this driver in the web but I still did not find them. Please help me and tell me how to download those drivers

    Thank you very much !!!
    Michael

    The Agilent 8163, 8164 and 8166 uses the same driver and they come with the mainframe. If you didn't get the driver with the mainframe, call Agilent's T&M support and ask them to email it to you.
    FYI, there is a bug in the LabVIEW driver that Agilent supplied.
    I hope that helps. Regards,

  • TS2634 What if your iPod touch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update the web and music that is "recent"?

    My iTouch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update my "recently purchased" songs or update websites.

    Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and correct the times/date. Also, in Settings>General>International make sure the Calendar is set to Gregorian.
