Address bar search does not work

When I type keywords in the address bar, it is used to return a list of google search results. He returns now, "the address is not valid. I know that I can use the search bar of google search, but the ability to search for keywords directly from the address bar is my favorite number one of Firefox and I want to.

The problem started after I got the keyword. URL parameter in topic: default config after malicious editing on some Russian site search/spam, which also added a bunch of unnecessary links to my bookmarks bar. This is the second time that this happens, no idea how, but the first time that I fixed it the address bar search began working again immediately.

I have not installed any new plugins or addons recently.

I checked that keyword.enabled is set to true, and the keyword. URL is empty, what are the default settings. Are there other settings that might have been changed/what I should change to make it work again?

You can try this add-on to see if it cures it: SearchReset

If this isn't the case, you could use this keyword. URL, which seems to be the default in Firefox 14 (just, based on what I receive under a search):


https://www.google.com/search?ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb&q=

  • Downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 and now edit/search does not work.

    The Question above about nearly everything.

    I downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 (I'll never learn) and now edit/search does not work. The search at the bottom of my screen bar disappeared and clicking on EDIT and SEARCH does nothing. Also, Ctl - F does nothing.

    FYI, using Windows 8.1.

    Someone actually check the compatibility with desktop computers and laptops on the news, or is it more important to be compatible with smart phones?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Try to rename (or delete) the file xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Vista search does not work

    No matter what I do, I can't find Vista to work - most of the time, the search will not find the files I'm looking for, although I can see them at the top of the list of files in the directory. I rebuilt the index multiple times with no improvement in the service. In another case, the search will find only files created in October 2009 (that is when I started using Vista), but specific searches do not work in other files, that I moved all the files in this folder to another folder and the result is the same, even if the file is renamed to something different. I also noticed that, in some cases, research fails to recognize a file named re and get back a result if I search the name of the original file (even if the file name has changed significantly).

    Simply, research of simple file names which I am accustomed to years of XP do not bring the results I need. I have same useless content search function at all. It was recommended that I find a simple program of research of third party for searches of files, but that's not really answering the question.

    I guess I would rather just turn the indexing function OFF set (that I tried), but it does not appear to improve the ability of Vista to find the files I need.

  • Search does not work in HCM9.1, pt8.52 after installation

    Hi I just installed HCM9.1 with Peopletools 8.52 on windows xp 32-bit with Oracle 11 g. This is my first install ever.
    When I connect online search does not work (when I click on search on any page that contains a search record it just shows that progress gif image but nothing happens.)

    I logged in using PS/PS

    any ideas of what I was wrong during installation?
    Here are the steps I followed.
    1-install Oracle11g
    Logic 2-installs web
    3. installation of Tuxedo and defined TUX_DIR
    PeopleTools 4-installs in C:\pt8.52 and HCM9.1 in c:\hcm9.1 n Verity
    5. manually created a database named HRSD by using initHRSD.ora and configured the listner and ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME defined and created the spfile.
    then ran the scripts in the documentation to create namespaces, roles, the dbowner etc.
    6 set the application designer
    7 - loged in Data Mover and installed a demo hcm9.1
    8 - ran grant.sql
    9 - ran pt851u.sql and pt852u.sql.

    HCM9.1 is now delivered based on Peopletools 8.51 (since Peature Pack 1, Dec-2010), you should successfully upgrade to make it work on Peopletools 8.52. However, you've made a mistake here, you should not run rel851, but only rel852. Second mistake, being HCM9.1 > = 9.0, you must run rel852un not rel852u. These errors can explain much of the search does not work. Not to mention the copy projects and a couple of AE to run.
    Delete the database and restarting from scratch is probably the best way to make you application is working correctly.

  • Home page is empty except for a search bar that does not work and an information bar that is empty.

    'Google' is missing from the left of the search bar, the search bar does not work, the Info window is empty, the button 'Restore previous Session' is missing and the Firefox/Google toolbar with g-mail, hot mail, cards, etc is missing.
