In safari, the space bar on the keyboard disappears when I try to type in the search bar? (yet works fine when I tap the google search bar). Any suggestions?

Thats actually not a search bar. It's the address field. Frankly I hadn't noticed that the space doesn't display for the field, but it probably shouldn't. No well formed web address should have a space.
It should be noted however that the address bar is not strictly for URLs. You can also type bookmark names and history items (though not web searches). Here a space would occasionally come in handy. In fact when using an external keyboard it is possible to enter spaces in this field. So this is strictly a limitation of the on-screen keyboard.

When i type into the search bar on safari, it comes up with a yahoo or bing search instead of google like it normally would do

I've had my macbook pro for about 2 years and any time i would type into the search bar of safari it would always come up with a google search. recently it is coming up with a yahoo or bing search and not google. my settings for safari have it set to google as the default search engine so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help me fix this?

When you go to search something in your search bar , and you click in the search bar at the top , a drop down menu should appear when it gives you suggestions on smart search right ? , well within those list of suggestions in the search bar their should be a little magnifying glass icon in the corner , click on that and another drop down box will appear, then you can choose your search engine preference e.g. bing , google , yahoo etc. click on your preference and it will use that search engine when you search in your search bar. Hope this helped.

How do I make fire fox open a new tab when I type in the search bar and press enter?

Hi,
I know I have found this solution before, but can't find it again. Please help?
In FF 27.0.1, when I put the cursor in the search bar, type words and hit enter, it starts the search in the current tab. How do I make FF always start the search in a new tab when I hit enter from the search bar?
Thanks!

How do I get the scrolling bar to stop popping up when I'm connected to the iTunes Store? It wont allow me to type in the search bar when it pops up.

When I am connected to the iTunes Store a scrolling bar pops up which says "accessing itunes store" even though I'm connected. It pops up every time i try to type a letter in the search bar, not allowing me to type. I can type 1 letter in then it pops up. Very frustrating.

Do you have disk use enabled? If so, disable it.
Check iTunes/edit/preferences. With the iPod connected of course. : )

How do I keep from highlighting terms in the search bar when I modify a string in the search bar--other than by clicking three to five times?

I'm not talking about terms in the search results; I'm talking about terms in the search string in the search bar in the upper right corner. (Mine is set to use only Google.) When I've searched on a string and decide to modify the string for a second search (say, changing "Spanish architecture" to "Spanish architectural style"), clicking at the end of the search string first highlights the entire string and then, as I keep clicking, highlights various parts of the string. Sometimes it takes five clicks to get the highlighting to go away so I can start back-deleting normally instead of by entire word or phrase. The Google homepage doesn't do this, whereas all search engines in Firefox do it, so it's clearly a Firefox annoyance.

Left click ONCE to get it's attention. After a moment, then do your work.

I can not type in the search bar

Windows 7 and version Firefox 15.0. The search bar doesn't respond to the mouse or the keyboard though I can place the cursor in the search bar window

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

How do I remove the search bar that continues to reappear no matter how many times I manually remove it?

For a short while now the search bar has been appearing on my Firefox browser. I don't want it there and removing it using the 'custom' settings when I click in a blank area in my browser does not work, it keeps coming back along with the 'bookmarks' button.
No, there is nothing in my Add/Remove programs that resembles the search bar in any way, shape or form. I've already checked again and again, it's simply not there and not an option.
Yes, I've checked if perhaps it were one of the plugins I use and that is not the case. I've removed all the plugins to check and it still appears.
I don't want this bar there, it's annoying and I want it gone. No there are no options to remove it in its options. I don't care about how useful other people say it is, I find it annoying. Every time I open Firefox it's there...I want it gone.
Refer to screenshot: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/untitled-2.jpg
So, how do I get rid of it?

Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
:| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

When I try to type in the search window, nothing happens.

I am unable to type in a website or a search subject. The cursor shows up in the field to begin typing, but when I type, nothing happens, no letters show up in the field. Just started happening this afternoon and has never happened before. I opened up internet explorer, and the typing function is working fine in the search field.

When I open a new tab I no longer get the search bar with all of my recent pages, how do I restore this back to the default?

I was on demonoid and I accidentally installed some software that I didnt want to. Once this happened I noticed that on both of my browsers firefox and chrome that this search site named trovi.com has taken over as my homepage and over my new tab. I fixed the problem on chrome and I fixed the home page problem on Firefox, what I cant figure out is how to get rid of this bane when I open a new tab. All I have all of my useful sites pinned there and it is very annoying.
I have been searching through all the options and cannot find a way to change this back to default without restoring the entire browser back to default. Which I really dont want to do. Thanks in advance
THis is the problem

Firefox 4 seems to hang when I try to type in the address bar...

I have Windows 7, Firefox 4.0, and am trying F-Secure Internet security 2011 trial. My issue is when I am browsing, quite often when I am typing in the address bar or search bar nothing happens. I cannot highlight the text or anything. I have figured I have to wait about 10 seconds for it to clear. Or I can close the browser and reopen and it works.
This is annoying. Is this a Firefox issue or a F-Secure issue? I installed both 4.0 and the F-Secure trail at the same time.

TS3274 When I try to type in the search window the letter doesn't stay. Everything else works except the search box.

Search box won't let me type in it

OK. You can't type in any text field is what you are saying.
You have not been using a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPad have you? Of you were, make sure that the keyboard is turned off and turn Bluetooth off as well.
If that is not the issue here, reboot your iPad.
Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.

Upgraded to firefox 4. Now when I google and type in the search topic a pop up window appears with possible matches (as always) if one matches my search topic and I click on it nothing happens. (it doesn't put the topic in the search box)

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.

Since I have installed IOS7.1.1 You Tube keeps crashing the minute I type in the search bar.

Any help with this problem.?

I'm assuming you are using the YouTube app.
Quit the app like this. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Then try again. If the problem persists delete the YouTube app, reset your iPad like I describe below and then download the app again again.
To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

Superfluous names appear after I type the first letter of a person's name in the text message address bar. Most of these names are people I rarely if ever have contact with, but may have once or twice. They are not in my contact list. How may I get rid of them?

They will also be listed in 'Previous Recipients' in Mail. You should also delete them there.
