Why is there extra space above google search results?

When I do a google search, an excessive amount of white space appears above the search results, requiring me to scroll down the page to see even the first choice. Only started happening today.

It's autopager. Don't do all the stuff above.

Can't read Google search results page - no zoom

I can't remember if it was always this way or not. - but the old two finger zoom trick doesn't work
is there anyway to zoom Google search results on iPhones
Im having to use mag glass - and I have 20/20 vision

You're wrong and I'll tell you why. All handset companies like Palm have relations with Google, i.e. they have to work together to create a local Google Maps program.
But the big reason why you are wrong is Palm made this device a web based phone and from the get go made all aspects of the phone able to sync to all things Google. Google has no obligation to do anything for WebOS users but Palm does and should use their relationship with Google to make sure things work for us or provide a solution of their own.

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. 
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. 
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.

I see google search results, scroll down and they vanish. Why?

All of a sudden when I am using Firefox I get a list of Google search results, scroll down and poof I see only a blank page. What's going on?

Hello jpachner,
Does this happen only in Google or have you noticed it any other web pages? Most of these issues could be because of some plugins or configuration changes.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

Is there a way to remove the FormsCentral ad from a google search result for a form

We have noticed that the google search results for our forms have the following:
Raleigh-Wake Emergency Communications Center Customer ...
https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=Rov-d68AFo2aQMaFxrAGvw
This form was easily created for FREE with FormsCentral. ... The Raleigh-Wake Emergency Communications Center is committed to providing the best service ...
Since we have a paid account, we would prefer that the red text not be included in the search result. Can this be removed?

Hi;
We're looking into what we can do for this. I'll post an update in the future.
Thanks,

My google search results are displayed shortened in firefox

Hello, my name is Timothy White, and I use FireFox almost exclusively as my browser and I noticed some months back that my google search results for the "shopping" engine suddenly became shortened. That is to say that depending on what I search for, I have only 2-4 or so columns of results displayed. The weirdest part is if I change the results to be displayed by price rather than by relevance, I often receive totally different results that were not displayed before.
Naturally, I harassed the google technical help twice before I received an answer, which was that they had no idea what I was talking about. Thinking that this may not be a problem on their end, I mirrored my search results in Internet Explorer as well, and found that IE gave me many pages of results. Changing the sorting there, gave me the same first 2 or 3 pages FireFox displayed, followed by ll the rest.
So FireFox is somehow cutting off the product searches after a certain number of results. I searched google (on IE now of course), and your technical help database to see if anyone else had this problem, and as far as I know, its a new one. Either that or you guys are playing a cruel trick on me, which I hope is not true, or I am going completely crazy, which I really, really hope is not true either.
So, are there any ideas why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if you need any more info. Thanks,
~Tim

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.

These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.

As of this morning, I am being redirected to uk.gomeo when i click on google search results in Safari. Do I have a virus?

Hi,
First time poster and very non-techy person here. I am being redirected to urls starting "uk.gomeo..." when clicking on Google search results in Safari. Quick search on this seems to suggest I have a virus. Not sure what to do or how to get rid of it. Not sure what could have caused it either. Downloaded Acrobat update couple of days ago which took hours, and Twitter account was hacked about a week ago. All software updates up to date. Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry editing that way doesn't work anymore in Lion. But you can look and see if there are any google entries in it. If there are not any google entries you can ignore my posts. If there are try this:
Open terminal
sudo nano /etc/hosts
When prompted for the sudo password - The correct password is your own (the password of the user logged into OS X, also the password you provide when doing system updates and so on).
now you can delete the line(s) that contain google and save.
Using your arrow keys go to the line containing google. Delete the line. Do the same for all lines containig google.
if you have a problem deleting, do a control-x to exit, and reply n to the modified buffer question. To save your changes do a control-o and hit enter , then do a control-x to quit.
Note: normally you never edit the hosts file, but if you see google entries in it then a malware programs has added them. It has been happening with a bogus flash update, that installs flash and asks for your system password. SOmething that seem quite normal when installing software. This bogus flash update makes the hosts modifications adding their own IP adrress for google.

Google search results shows no thumbnail images in Firefox as compared to IE or Chrome.

When doing a google search, I see no thumbnail images for things like youtube video's or an image that would typically come from authority site. Is there a setting in FireFox that is inhibiting this?
Compared to IE or Chrome which does shows a little image in Google search results.

Google search results acting are not showing up right after FF update

So after I updated FF from 12 to 13 my Google search results have been weird whether I search from the homepage, tool bar or from Google.com. For example if I were to search " Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki" you would expect the Wikipedia page for the show to be the first result but this is what ends up showing up:
[http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8020/firefoxproblem2.jpg Image of search results]
But if I were to search in Private Browsing mode this is what I get:
[http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/9794/firefoxproblem.jpg Private browsing search]
Same search yet it yields to different results and I tried it in IE and Chrome and the search is working just fine in both of those as well. The problem seems to only be when I search for something in FF normally.
If anyone can shed some light into why this is happening I would be grateful, since I prefer FF to anything else.

Info on Google search results

Hey Guys,
Google search results sometimes come back with extra
information just below the name of the web site; for example, if
you Google the word 'evosport', along with the web address you get
information such as this:
Products - www.evosport.com/product/
Contact - www.evosport.com/contact/
Motorsport - www.evosport.com/motorsport/
Service - www.evosport.com/service/
How do I set up my web site to display this sort of
information on Google?
Thank you!
Mark

Resize Google search results

Why can't I resize google search results in safari?
Doesn't matter if it's search results or even google.com/news
I can't resize the results. I can zoom in on the links when I click them, but the results are too small for me to read. Same problem with facebook
BTW .. fwiw, it it works on the G1

You can't resize the search results because Google optimized the pages for iPhone. That means that Google automatically senses that you're visiting the page from iPhone and automatically resizes the page.
But it is not happening every time. Sometimes Google give you an big page which is resizable but nowadays the resized pages are more common.

[Solved] Conkeror google search results mode

Hey,
I've been using conkeror for some time now and I really enjoy
conkeror's support for mouseless browsing. In google search mode
Conkeror allows you to use 1-9 to select a link in your google search
results. However, when I want to look at a second page of search
results, I reach the mouse to do that (since the follow
command in the google search mode only shows numbers to your search
results). But that doesn't seem very efficient. So, what I'm wondering
if any of you know how I can select another page of search results
without having to reach the mouse (while in the google search mode).
I've looked at Conkeror's website about the google search mode but I
couldn't find any info about that there. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yup, have this line in your rc:

Substitute "O" with whichever key you like.
That works beautifully. That will make my life much better
I've also noticed that if you change "next" for "previous" you can
also see previous pages.
Another related question: after you do a google search and you want to
change your previous query (e.g., add a word to your previous search), do you know of a
way of doing that without using the mouse? (again, f here has a
similar problem in the google search mode).

How to enable portal rank high up in Google search results?

Hi friends,
Does anyone have an idea how to enable public portal to rank up higher in google search results?
Thanks & regards,
Manish

If you want to do it honestly, put good content up there, and let google get to you - and they will.
If you want to cheat, there are lots of places on the 'net that will tell you how to 'persuade' the search engines to rank your site higher. The search engines constantly work to ensure that their rankings are valid, so they will try and prevent such 'link farming' from occurring.
You can also pay google for advertising, which will place your ad on pertinent search result lists...I would suggest that this might be a better route for you to take.
