Where is the search box?
i want to search this forum for port mapping an airport express - but the only search box is the globas one for the apple.com
what am I missing?
The discussion area seems to be going through some changes/maintenance and the search dialog is currently available. I'm sure it will return in the near future.

Where is the "search" field box?
I want to search various discussion forums, but the "search" box is gone. Is this a temporary glitch? Discussion forums are fairly useless if one cannot search them.

Hi Eric, That link doesn't work. JP -
When we type in a search term, in the search box, the results can be shown in a tab. But how can you split search terms while entering them all at once, each search term providing results in a new tab.
"Search Term|Search Term Two", using |;\ etc only sends the term in entirety beyond. What does this box handle and how to make it open two tabs when given two separated search terms.
So what is this special character or setting?
Thank YouThank u so Bruce , I finally found an answer to my question.
The solution u provided looks complete except that i am confused by the meaning of strField , may i didnt provide more details in my post .
The strField var i provided earlier was not meant to be placed in my code , the correct one is shown below .However , the strField means according to me is the field against which the search operation should take place based on the ( search Term )
the user provided .
Here is the code after applying the solution u suggested :
'Information collected from the user
strWhereToSearch = IIf(.framSearchIn.Value = 1, "[quknotSubject]", "[quknotBody] ")
strCondition = strWhereToSearch & " Like '* " & strTextSearch & " *' OR " & _
strWhereToSearch & " Like '" & strTextSearch & " *' OR " & _
strWhereToSearch & "Like '* " & strTextSearch & "'"
'Fill result search Recordset
strSql = " Select * from qryExtraTool_QuickNoteSubCatMainCat "
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strCondition & " ORDER BY quknotDate"
'Control Source for the text box to display matches. ( Highlight the search word )
txtQuickNoteBody = SearchHilight(strWhereToSearch, strTextSearch)
Tell me if my implementation to your code is right ?
Thank u again Bruce ... -
Question about the "Suggestions" feature in the search box
How can you tell if the “Suggestions” in the search box are generic or part of my own browsing history? Can the suggestion history be cleared?
Hey Andy..thanks for the response. The reason I asked is when I start typing in the search box a drop down list of suggestions appears and some of the suggestions I'm not sure where they are coming from. Also, I thought maybe it was based on my own browsing. Example I was typing in a name and it started suggesting specific people. Curious if was because I had gone to their website in the past or it was based juts on my location and the algorithms of the search engine to make a suggestion. I have even cleared my browsing history but the same suggestions come up.

I cannot type in the search box in iTunes
I cannot type in the search box in iTunes. I have the latest version for Windows as of February 2012. I have had the problem through several releases... over six months. OS Windows 7 and iTunes version is ? (Humm...there is no Help, About.
Welcome to the club, Robert. Don't hold your breath while waiting for help on this "user support" forum. I posted about this issue a week ago, and '''not one person has responded''' unless you count me posting follow-up "replies" in an effort to keep the posted question from disappearing under the avalanche of new questions posted here.
I presume that knowledgeable Firefox users (and developers) either do not read this forum very often, do not care about the problem we are citing, or do not have any clue about what could be causing the issue. I have been using Firefox as my preferred browser for years on my Mac computers, and have never encountered a problem this significant. It is not merely "annoying"; it makes Firefox ''unusable ''on some sites!
My only advice to you is
# use Safari for those websites where you need to be able to type comments or questions, and
# hope that '''some developer with Mozilla or Apple''' makes the changes needed to resolve this problem.
Otherwise, we Mac users will have no choice but to abandon Firefox as we get sick and tired of dealing with this issue.
See my own posted question here: [[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/802601 |Cannot type or paste anything in text boxes at some websites]] -
The normal google page works fine, but the search boxes on the home page (below firefox logo and the one top RH corner) just go nowhere unless you change the search provider using the dropdown, to yahoo or bing etc, in whcih case it searches fine - just won't work with google, which I prefer to use. I have an older version 3.6.13 on another desktop and that still works fine.
Any ideas team?golden-grace, to answer some of your questions:
* Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and will no longer be updated for security vulnerabilities or any other updates.
*On resetting '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''': It's normal for the "welcome to Firefox" tab to open and for that preference to revert back to user-set and show Firefox 14.0.1 afterwards.
*On deleting the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and then resetting that preference again: You can open the Profile folder from the Firefox Help -> Troubleshooting Information page. See the [[Profiles]] article for more information.
* On installing new search engines from http://mycroft.mozdev.org that simply adds new search providers to the [[Search Bar|Search Bar]]. It does not install a new search bar. You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.
Getting back to Google not working from the about:home homepage or from the upper right corner search box, you said,
''the page tab changes to "connecting" and the little circle starts revolving, just as though it is looking for the page as normal and at the bottom of the home page the message appears "waiting for www.google.com"''. You also said in your original post that, ''The normal google page works fine.'' Which normal google page is that?
If you can go to www.google.com directly, and it works fine:
I would try removing Google from the list of search providers and then use the "Restore Defaults" button in the Search Bar "Manage Search Engine List" dialog to add it back to the list, then select it again as your default. The [[Search Bar|Search Bar]] article explains in detail how to do that. (Alternately, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] add-on. This should also add back Google and set it as the default.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, that's a whole other issue. Putting that aside for now, if you would rather use google.co.uk from the Search Bar, you can install it <u>as an additional choice from the Search Bar drop-down menu</u>, by going here:
* http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html ... where it's listed as '''''Google UK - the Web (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project'''''. (You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, you could troubleshoot that by following the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article (I would start with clearing cookies and cache) but all of these steps may be frustrating for you. Another option is to simply reset Firefox (which saves your bookmarks, passwords, and some other essential data) to see if that resolves the problem. You can do that from the Firefox Help -> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/provide-detailed-information-for-firfox-issues#w_accessing-the-troubleshooting-information-page Troubleshooting Information page]. For details, read the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article. You can then go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html and select your preferred Google search engine to use from the Search Bar. -
Who Decided to Combine the Search Box and Address Bar?
A very wise person once said:
"Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler!"
That fundamental rule of design has been volated with Internet Explorer 9.
I've been using IE9 for about a month now, trying to get used to all the new things. Performance-wise it's nice, and the changes to security are welcome. Okay, so the color-management is half baked, and it still has its problems, but I guess
it's an improvement.
But what idiot decided to make the search box and the address field one and the same?
You think I'm being petty? Go try to research what a particular file is - for example, go see if you can find info on "bib.dll".
It wants to make it into a URL. It's not a URL. It may LOOK like one, but it's a name, honest!
Putting quotes around it doesn't help. Maybe I'm missing the advanced syntax it takes to get such a thing to be a search term instead of a URL. Even if so, how is this an improvement or simplification? It's certainly not intuitively obvious how
to force a search, short of dredging up a link to Google and typing info in there directly.
Doing a search and typing in an address are two FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.
And hey, it's not a big deal that you can no longer see what it was you searched for, and maybe even edit it and search again. No, because now the search engine pages have to waste space to put up a box showing what you just searched for, since it's
now GONE out of the address field.
How does stuff like this pass a design review?
And to think the Microsoft Engineers worked extra hard to take it out.
You Engineers at Microsoft need to take the product back from your moronic marketing people and make it actually work right.
-NoelEd, with 36 years software engineering experience, I know the difference between the difficulty of adapting to change and when something just isn't right.
This isn't right. Ever hear the phrase "apples and oranges" to describe two things that don't go together? That concept fits well here.
You say that thinking along the lines of "you no longer had to think about which box you want to type into" helped justify the change.
Is there something wrong with thinking? This is akin to saying, "you no longer had to think about which nozzle at the gas station to fill your tank from".
Diesel doesn't work in a gas engine. Nor does the water from the garden hose.
You say "both methods of typing work in the one box". But they don't, logically! Did you actually read this thread?
Is there something wrong with logic?
Alas, what the simple users of the general public want and what experienced computer users need are clearly two different things, and it's clear looking back that this move simply marked another step in Microsoft's clear intent
to walk away from making serious computer operating systems that actually
work. Windows 8 is testament to that (and don't tell me you haven't noticed all the negative response). Other such things include Windows Search - which is designed to be unable to actually do an exhaustive search... Even going
back as far as hiding file extensions by default. And don't get me started on the use of telemetry to justify deprecating such things as Windows Backup.
Do you understand the difference between leading and following? Which, as a concept, would you say is better? You need to stay the hell away from trying to emulate what Google does. You can do better! If you want a different
example, follow Firefox - it still has a search box. Even Apple - known for dumbing things down to the level of the family dog - stil puts a search box in Safari.
I don't mean to be critical of your response, Ed, but this is a good example of "the operation was a success but the patient died".
Thank goodness there are 3rd party developers who are struggling to put back functionality Microsoft keeps removing. But then Microsoft removes the APIs they use. That's not going to keep!
P.S., Watch the film "Idiocracy" some time.

Setting the colour of the search box text on a public website
I am using the search box snippet in the header of my public website.
The background of the header is a dark blue. The search box background is transparent so the default colour of the text (#444) on the dark blue background is barely visible.
The text colour appears to be set by the following entry in corev15.css:
input[type=password],
input[type=text],
input[type=file],
select,
textarea,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
.sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
.ms-inputBox
border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
background-color:#fff;
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
color:#FFFFFF;
I changed the colour from #444 to #FFFFFF.
Now I want to create a new post in the Blog. The new post's Title and Body fields use the same entry in corev15.css to set the colour of the text. As the background of the new post is white the text is invisible!
Using the F12 development function in IE, setting the colour of the Search box text with an inline function works, but when I add style="color:white" to the <input> of the Search box snippet it seems to be ignored.
What am I doing wrong? Is there another way around the problem (I don't want to change the background colour of the header nor the background of the post page and there is no colour that will display the text well enough against both backgrounds).
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Roger
rogerwithnellThanks for your help, Patrick.
Adding color: white !important; inline in the <input tag of the Search box snippet is still ignored, however. When I look at the HTML and CSS with F12 in IE, the inline mark-up is not set. I guess this something to do with how the Search Box
snippet works?
I've made some progress, though. All the pages of the site (except the Blog NewPost page) use the corev15.css file. So I've set the colour here to white. The css entry is:
input[type=password],
input[type=text],
input[type=file],
select,
textarea,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
.sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
.ms-inputBox
border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
background-color:#fff;
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
color:#FFFFFF;
The Blog NewPost page uses \_catalog\theme\themed\CDD8DBA6/COREV15-51C31438.themedcss. I've changed the same CSS entry as follows:
input[type=password],
input[type=text],
input[type=file],
select,
textarea,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
.sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
.ms-inputBox
border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
background-color:#fff;
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
color:#444 !important;
Now this page sets the colour to #444. This means that the text in the Title and Body fields is visible but the text in the Search Box (with its dark blue background) is not.
The Search Box on Blog NewPost is not vital but I'd like to fix it. How can I do this?

{cont. from question}
Now, the cursor always sits at the addressbar after www.google.ca/[cursor], no matter whethor it is a new instance or a new tab (but not new page, that's okay). It's most frustrating to see that I've typed out my search only to have to go and retype in the search box again.
This issue does not exist in Safari or Camino browsers, which I have also used in the past.
Basically, I just want the cursor to appear in the search box as soon as google starts up and instead its going to the address bar.Karl
It sounds like you are having trouble with your internal Hard Drive.
Whilst this is quite serious, sometimes you can fully recover from the situation, depending on what happened.
One of the most useful and reliable rescue utilities is DiskWarrior:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11707/diskwarrior
If you are lucky it may be something as simple as a damaged HFS+ wrapper, which can be repaired and have you back up on your feet again in relatively short order.
It pays to periodically check the *S.M.A.R.T. Status* of your drive, at the bottom of *Disk Utility.*
This is a self diagnosis function that may indicate impending problems. However if the disk has sustained physical damage, such as caused by a hard knock, nothing will redeem it.

I am using Linux mint 12 with firefox.
Everytime I try to type something in the search box a further box appears to tell me this is a JSON file and what program should I use to open it.
This has only happened since reinstalling my system a couple of weeks ago.
I am not really interested in what a json file is I simply want to get rid of this pop up box.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Hello there,
I know that in the search center you can add search verticals. Then you can configure the search box so it has a drop down menu so you can specify the result source you want to search.
But my question is about the 'search this site' box which appears on all subsites, so not the one in the search center. Is it possible to add the same dropdown menu to this box as in the search center?
Thanks in advance!Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a dropdown menu to the search box.
You need to look at the Search Settings page that is located under the Site Collection Administration of the Site Settings.
Here are some similar blogs for your reference:
