Using iMac and Maverick OS. I have Chrome as my default browser. I find that going to System Preferences/General under default browser, I note that Chrome is chosen as default, yet the browser "above the line" is Safari and Chrome, while checked off is "below the line". In other words, the top listed browser is Safari which is unchecked with a line underneath, even though all the other browsers are listed below the line and only Chrome has a check mark.
When I am on a website and I select words to search in Google, it always searches with Safari instead of Chrome. How do I change that?Thanks for your response. I think it was my error in that I did not define the problem properly. Indeed Chrome is my default browser. And Maverick does not have a "next line" to default to Google. I can do that in the Chrome settings.
My problem is that when I am in another application.....and it is apparently an application native to Maverick....for example Contacts or Calendar, Reminders, Notes, etc., if I highlight a word or phrase, and right click and choose "search with Google", it defaults to Safari. How do I change that? -
How can i get rid of smart search from safari
Every time that i search on safari or google chrome my search engine comes up to be
something called smart search?Hi!
Please follow the advise given by Linc Davis. It worked for me.
This will be my last comment in the thread, and it's addressed to anyone who has the same problem as the original poster. If you have a different problem, search the site for answered questions similar to yours, and if you don't find a solution that way, start your own thread.
You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
com.something.daemon.plist
and
com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
When I search in safari, how do I stop it from quessing what I am typing?
When searching in Safari, how do I stop it from guessing what I am typing?
Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Auto Correct>Off. This will also turn off spell check. You can also tap the X next to the word that Safari suggests to get rid of the word and keep typing what you want.

10G-form: How to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at ITEM?
I am using 10G DB + 10G Form Builder.
I've 'database_item' where I am storing multiline text data.
I want to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at this item through FORM.
I've tried by creating the following NON Database Items on the form:
- multiline_search_text_item, and
- multiline_result__text_item
And then writing execute_query in KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger.
I've also tried using this in the POST-TEXT-ITEM at multiline_search_text_item:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item from table where multiline_search_text_item = :multiline_search_text_item;
Pl help me asap.
GauravWhat you want to do is not clear.
The query you wrote will select records where the table contains exactly what has been written in the search item. You can use LIKE and a wildcard search to find records which contain the search text:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
from table
where multiline_search_text_item LIKE '%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%';
You can use UPPER to make this case insensitive:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
from table
where Upper(multiline_search_text_item) LIKE Upper('%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%');
But I suspect you want either to match the individual words in the search text to individual words in the database multiline field, or find records where the search words appear (not necessarily as whole words). In that case, check out the following:
-- set up a table (multiline and various whitespaces)
DROP TABLE t;
CREATE TABLE t AS
SELECT
ROWNUM rn,
owner||Chr(9)||object_name||Chr(160)||subobject_name||' '||object_id||' '||
data_object_id||Chr(10)||object_type||' '||created||' '||last_ddl_time||' '||
timestamp||' '||status||' '||temporary||' '||generated||' '||secondary AS col
FROM all_objects;
-- check the format of the multiline text item (col)
SELECT * FROM t WHERE ROWNUM < 4;
-- a type for the function below
CREATE TYPE string_tab AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(255);
-- this function takes a string and cuts out each word, idetifying words
-- as being separated by any whitespace. it returns a collection
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION string_to_tab(
p_string IN VARCHAR2) RETURN string_tab IS
l_string LONG DEFAULT
RTrim(regexp_replace(p_string,'[[:space:]]+',' ')) || ' ';
l_data string_tab := string_tab();
n NUMBER;
BEGIN
LOOP
EXIT WHEN l_string IS NULL;
n := InStr(l_string, ' ');
l_data.extend;
l_data(l_data.Count) := LTrim(RTrim(SubStr(l_string, 1, n - 1)));
l_string := SubStr(l_string, n + 1);
END LOOP;
RETURN l_data;
END string_to_tab;
-- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text has
-- a match in the multiline field (as a word or part of a word), so SYS
-- matches to MDSYS and SYSTEM
SELECT DISTINCT
t.rn, t.col
FROM
t,
(SELECT column_value
FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE InStr(t.col,x.column_value) > 0;
-- selecting from t where ALL of the words in the search text has

SELECT rn, col FROM(
SELECT
t.rn, t.col, cnt_x, Count(*) cnt
FROM
t,
(SELECT column_value , Count(1) over(PARTITION BY 1)cnt_x
FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE InStr(t.col,x.column_value) > 0
GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
WHERE cnt = cnt_x;
-- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text
-- match a word in the multiline field, so SYS matches only to SYS
SELECT DISTINCT
t.rn, t.col
FROM
t,
(TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab(t.col) AS string_tab))) t2,
(SELECT column_value
FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value;
-- selecting from t where ALL of the words in the search text
-- match a word in the multiline field, so SYS matches only to SYS
SELECT rn, col FROM(
SELECT
t.rn, t.col, cnt_x, Count(*) cnt
FROM
t,
(TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab(t.col) AS string_tab))) t2,
(SELECT column_value , Count(1) over(PARTITION BY 1)cnt_x
FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value
GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
WHERE cnt = cnt_x;For your application you would replace 'SYS INDEX' with a variable (the search field). You can use upper() and wildcards for case insensitive & 'fuzzy' searches. You might need to modify the function so it removes other delimiters such as commas and colons. -
How do you perform partial word search using PDF Open Parameters?
Hello,
We are using the 'search=' open parameter in the URL string, which open a PDF and automatically searches for a word within the PDF. It works great for whole word searches. Unfortunately, it does not work for partial word, or phrases. In other words, if I'm searching on '123456' and there is a word in the document that is '1234567', it will not find the partial word, or first 6 characters of the 7 character word. You can perform a partial or phrased search using the advance search feature of Adobe Reader. So, currently after the PDF opens, and shows no hits on the automatic search for '123456', we are able to manually search again for a partial word search, and then see matches in the document. Is there any way to specify to use a whole or partial word search when using the 'search=' open parameter, so that we can automatically match on partial and whole words? Something like 'search=123456*'?It never worked that way. Command-F shows the page search bar.

Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites. Is FireFox reporting that my bookmarks and history are being searched?
Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg when it has trouble finding the website I requested?That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

Spotlight Google search in Safari gives Google links in Cyrillic characters
It's bizarre, I know, but when I use Spotlight as a quick access to Google, the page comes up with the Google links (Web, Images, Groups etc. at the top; Cached, Similar pages after each entry) displayed in Cyrillic characters in a language I don't know, although the search results are in English, in Latin type. But when I navigate to Google, all the text comes out "normal" in English, in Latin type.
I presume this is somehow due to settings going astray but I can't find how to locate the settings to change them.
(a) Does anyone know how this is happening?
(b) Does anyone know how to fix it?
For the time being I just don't use the Spotlight Google search in Safari, but it would be a useful shortcut to be able to use it.
(Posted here on the premise that it is a Spotlight rather than a Safari problem, but also under Safari because it relates to that too.)Try quitting Safari. Then select Safari in the Applications folder and Get Info. Deselect any Language you don't want. Close the Get Info window and reopen Safari to see if the problem is corrected. If not, you might try trashing the com.apple.Safari.plist file after quitting Safari.

WHy cant i get phone service? The word " searching " has been in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I have internet service but no phone service. Does any one have any thoughts or suggestions?
When you say you have Internet service, are you connected to wifi? Have you tried a reset on the phone? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The phone will reboot. After it starts, see what happens. Do you have a valid SIM in the phone, one that is activated through a carrier? Have you contacted the carrier to see what they say, since phone service is a carrier responsibility?

Hi guys,
This one's quite advanced...
I'm working on a online book project that takes a .pdf,
converts each page into a JPEG and stores them to a unique folder.
I have created a flash file that the user is directed to upon the
.pdf's upload which detects via a querystring, the folder location,
and total number of pages. This, as you have probibly guessed, is
the online book, which has all the bells and whistles of page turn
animations, a goto page function etc...
My problem is this:
I need the application to have a word search function. I know
that ideally the .pdf would have been converted to text, but I
couldn't as the layout of test to images was nowhere near perfect
on the tests I ran.
Is there any OCR styled approach that I could use in flash? I
have created JAVA applets which have performed this task before,
but never within a .swf.
An option is to install an OCR program on the server which
will run dynamically after the .pdfs upload, and store the text
into a database, however, at best (I assume), this will only allow
the user to be taken to the page, and not the line, let alone
creating a transulcent highlight, for example, over the top of the
text.
I don't expect an answer, but any feedback would be geatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

[email protected]I don't know the answer for OCR. I would be inclined to try
investigagate ways to avoid it that would involve loading the the
content into a swf format...e.g. like flashpaper... or search for
some other way to convert the pdf to swf whilst retaining the
formatting/appearance.
The flashpaper API has for example text searching capability
built in - I'm just not sure how much of the interface you can hide
(or may not be permitted to via the licencing agreement). And if
necessary then its also possible to use bitmapData copies of a swf
format if you need to manipulate it as an image once the swf has
loaded.
Of course if the original source is bitmap you would still
need to adress the OCR problem. Don't know if that helps. -
I'm running RH for HTML Help X4.1 on Windows XP. I want to
search through all the text in all of the topics for a particular
word or word string. Is that possible? I can't find anything that
lets me do that? I realize this is NOT Win Help where I'd be
searching a Word document, but it would be very helpful to be able
to do a whole-word search of the project. Thanks.
-davidJust a word of warning. It is good practice to close your RH
project down as the in built tool does occasionally fail to spot
instances in open topics/projects. Personally most authors on here
prefer to use other tools (e.g.
FAR or
BkReplacem). -
CF perform word search on PDF files?
Can CF MX (6.1 or 7) perform a word search of PDF documents?
What I would like to do, at the minimum, is have CF search
PDF files located in a directory for a specific word, and return a
list of files that have that word (or phrase) in them.
am I asking too much?
Thanks for any and all help.
RussYes. Use the Verity search engine that comes with
ColdFusion. -
