Where is the search bar?

This was the first thing I noticed.  It drives me crazy!  Way to go Apple to make things less efficient.

  • Where's the search bar in itunes store

    Trying to search for songs to download but can't find a search box!  Can anyone help?

    I just resolved this issue by doing the following (Please read the entire post before performing):
    Quit iTunes
    Open Finder and click Go > Go to Folder... (or press Shift-Command-G)
    Type the following (or copy and paste) and press return:
    ~/Music/iTunes
    Move the file "iTunes Library.itl" to Trash. DO NOT empty Trash yet (because if this does not resolve the issue, you will want to put this back)
    Relaunch iTunes and see if you now have the top bar in iTunes, including the search bar in the top-left.
    NOTE: Removing the iTunes Library.itl file can cause you to lose Playlists, and even cause your music on disk to be unrecognized. It is highly recommended that you back up with Time Machine before performing this task.
    If you know where your music is on disk (most likely still somewhere withing that iTunes folder, possibly just in iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media) you can still drag this music back into iTunes for it to reorganize and recognize the music. There is not much you can do about Playlists other than manually recreating them or quitting iTunes and putting back the iTunes Library.itl file.

  • ITunes 7 : where is the search bar ?

    Hi !
    I can't find the command to display the search bar in iTunes 7 (you know, the bar that allowed the user to choose on which field the search criterias was applied : song name, artist, ...).
    Am I missing something or has the feature been dropped from the new iTunes ?

    Previous post:
    I agree, the search criteria bar was a great feature that really made it an Apple program, it is a feature from the OS, that they migrated into iTunes. It really seems like Apple dropped the ball on this version, maybe they lost the source for iTunes 6 and they were working from a previous version, BSing it as they go? Maybe they outsourced this version?
    It really reflects poorly on them, in my opinion.
    I get the same impression on having started this version from the wrong version of the source code, bizarre as that seems. Lots of tweaks seem actual steps backwards for no real reason. And some of the bugs we're seeing are just simply daft - and feel like they were fixed ages ago. Some of the stuff I've seen just shouldn't have been broken by the changes they did make.
    (Like how can you suddenly not notice you've completeed the last track in a playlist, so you'll just sit there not completing... and not marking playcount/last played.). I wonder if for some key components of iTunes they picked the wrong version off the shelf?

  • Where did the search bar go when I sync movies to my iphone?

    Is this off by default or is it gone completely? I have 200 movies and I used to be able to type the movie name in when I sync my iPhone to check it, but the search box is gone....is it supposed to be or is there a way to get it back?
    thanks

    I'm glad you found this, but that's crappy interface design. The search box needs to be put back on top of the artists list.

  • Where is the search bar in the upper right ? It certainly doesn't appear on my 5.0 browser. Let me know when it appears and google is available again. I'm back to IE.

    Since installing version 5.0, I can't search!!

    Firefox is customizable -- that is something you can easily fix.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic

  • WHY CAN I NOT EDIT THE DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE USED BY THE ADDRESS BAR (NOT THE SEARCH BAR NEXT TO IT) FROM BING TO GOOGLE?

    I am asking this question again, because upon checking the forum for a solution I was shocked and appalled by the severe lack of grammar, punctuation and spelling I encountered while reading answers to this question. Obviously several people where to busy to actually read the question being asked and simply answered with instructions on how to change the default search engine for the search bar. SO, here I am asking the same question, why? because it still has not been answered and I myself still CANNOT find this setting anywhere. I use multiple browsers for different tasks, Chrome is KICKING the .... out of you guys Mozilla, why did you ever let your self get taken in by Micro-crack (Microsoft), if I recall correctly the inception of this program was partly motivated by the need for an alternative to the idiosyncrasies and vulnerability of Microsoft Internet Explore. This really feels like a HUGE step backwards, I would love to see a return to the days when Mozilla Firefox was and inspiration to developers and techs everywhere. And please will someone just answer the right question this time. Trust me when I say it will be obvious who does and does not read this in it's entirety.

    HAHA! I have solved it! Ok here is the URL for Google, as mentioned above by bram:
    "Go to About:config
    Search for keyword.URL
    Double click the Value entry field, and change it to the search engine you prefer"
    Enter this URL for the string value

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can i find the location of an app from the search bar?

    I need to delete an app on my ipad3. I know it's on there b/c I can find it in the search bar. But for the life of me, I can't find where the icon is, so I can delete it. The search bar doesn't tell me where on the pad it is.
    I have 10-11 pages of apps with a lot folders created with at least 6 apps within each. Been searching for hours, while multi-tasking on other things of course !

    Go to settings> general> usage and delete the app from there. If the app is not there go to purchased at the bottom of the App Store screen and see if you haven't deleted it already.

  • What's the difference b/w Google searching from the Mozilla Start Page and the search bar?

    It's not a high-priority question, I just want a general answer.
    I read that Google renews the license of Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, and that's from where Mozilla makes 90% of its money, because it's a not-for-profit organisation.
    I want to know whether I am giving Google a signal of making use of that license renewal when I search from the Start Page and not from the search bar I have.

    hi Abhimanyu, it won't make a difference if you search from the homepage or the search bar - both use the same default search provider.
    in addition, mozilla is no longer partnering with google. for details you might want to see https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/

    It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
    The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
    It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

  • The search bar does not function

    I can enter words in the search bar, but it does not return any results when I press the Enter key.

    Hello, Woodman928--
    Your Yahoo! Toolbar definitely does have an option:
    ''' 1.''' Click the little green "wheel" icon on your Yahoo
    toolbar;
    '''2. ''' A short, small menu box drops down;
    '''3.''' choose to click on either the "Toolbar Preferences" entry
    or the "Change Toolbar Skin" entry.
    ...If you don't have the little green wheel icon, just paste '''''http://help.yahoo.com//l/us/yahoo/toolbar/toolbar8/''''' in your browser, press ENTER, and you'll be taken to the place where you can set up your toolbar, upgrade it, or find Yahoo's help sites to tell you what to click next in order to get it.
    That's about it. and you'll be all set!

  • How do I switch the Search Bar back to the previous version?

    Using the newest update of Firefox has given me a new searchbar, one where I can't switch search engines quickly, instead having to go into a menu to do so. This is detrimental to me since I use the search suggestions of each search engine I have installed. I cannot do that anymore. How do I switch the search bar back to the previous version?

    OMG! Th♥nk y♥u!!! Worked perfectly.
    That was royally getting up my nose.

  • Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

    Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
    To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
    This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

    In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.
