Cannot change 'number of results' Google search preferences; It remains fixed at 10, why?

3.6 running on Windows 7. I deleted all cookies, delete preferences.js and don't know what else to do. This was the status for about a week now. The only thing I can think that I have installed at the same time is Microsoft Security Essentials, but its real time protection disabling did not alter behavior. It may be a question of system, since I have the same problem with Chrome and IE 8! I use ZoneAlarm, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 or Spybot as well, but I don't know how those that would affect this particular configuration. Thanks in advance.

Which is caused by a recent change on the Google site and the addition of instant search.

If Instant Search is enabled in the settings of Google search page (link at the top right) then you get only 10 results.

You must disable Instant Search and reload the result page, and then set the number of results to your preferred choice.

It may not work if you change both at the same time.

  • Cannot change my Yahoo to Google search engine.

    Hi all.

    I have a Macbook Air, mid-2013, running OS X 10.11 (el capitan). Whenever I'm meeting in (9.0.3) Safari preferences to change the default search engine, the browser never made the change from Yahoo to Google. 'Google' appears clearly as my selection in the menu dropdown. I have not tried anything after that. Any pragmatic solution would be useful. Thank you

    1. Disable Extensions and test them.

    Safari > Preferences > Extensions

    Select extensions, uncheck 'Enable the Extension' and test.

    Enable the Extensions one by one and test.

    To uninstall any extension, select it and click the "Uninstall" button

    2 safari > Preferences > Search > search engine:

  • Unable to save the Google search preferences.

    I use the custom settings for history. I checked accept cookies and accept third-party cookies. This problem keep recurring. Why? I check preferences to search Google, I want to, and sometimes one of the preferences is saved but not the number of results per page that I prefer. Or else, I get an error message that cookies are not enabled.

    It's bad enough having to use Firefox failure to take charge at first. Then, to find a solution and have the same problem happening again again and again is ridiculous.

    Try to clear cookies from Google.

    See tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

  • How can I change my RETURN to Google search bars?

    My home page is the default and my new tab page has a search also bar. Both of them used to research Google bars, but now, without changing any settings (that I know), they are Yahoo.

    I searched for how to fix this, but Firefox help only tells you how to change the silent mini search bar (which I don't use), not the other two.

    Perforated Cap what I mean:
    http://i.imgur.com/nF1cPf0.PNG

    The search engine that is selected in the search bar will be used on the Start Page, a default value on the page tab, in the address bar and with the element search context menu and so the search bar.

  • How can I change instead of change from Bing to Google search engine?

    Hello

    I want to ask you about customizing the search engine, instead of default search engine as Bing change the google search engine? either way, I'm using Firefox 8.0.

    Thank you

    When you get to the options, you should see bing in the menu. Highlight bing and type google.com and ok on the bottom then it should replace bing. If you can't find the Tools option go up and do a right click and menu check mark to display the toolbar.

  • Limit the number of results when searching for users?

    Hi all.

    The following rule works very well:
      <invoke name='toList'>
        <invoke name='listObjects'>
          <ref>context</ref>
          <s>User</s>
          <map>
            <s>conditions</s>
            <list>
              <new class='com.waveset.object.AttributeCondition'>
                <s>DEFERREDTASKDATE</s>
                <s>notPresent</s>
                <s></s>
              </new>
            </list>
          </map>
        </invoke>
        <s>name</s>
      </invoke>
    But in the production environment, we want to limit the number of results to a manageable level, say 200 users. I tried resultLimit and LignesMax in the stock option plan, but nothing helped.
    Pointers to help me in the right direction?

    Best regards
    Stefan

    The JavaDoc for AttributeCondition does not list these operators or conditions.

    You will need to add conditions to your query that limits the response by other means.

    I don't know what your user name looks like, but for us, we have an ID for each account that you could put limits to

    i.e.

    UserID > current_place and userid< current_place="" +="">

    that, if the user name is a number, would limit the answer to a maximum of limit, but if no user is in the meantime it would obviously be zero.

    the alternative is to create your own rule to query the repository on your own and use the resulting data to browse normal calls.
    It's a bit heavy if you use attributes that are not available at hand, only existing in the xml BLOB

    I also think that you could make your own javaclass and do the same thing, but I'm just not proficent in java as to who try here: P

  • Lightroom CC "User permissions error" - cannot change the permissions for the folder Preferences

    I noticed that Lightroom was running slow so I thought it was time to take stock. (I was using Lightroom 5.7). Yesterday, I downloaded the last LR update, which is Lightroom CC [1067055]. I thought that Lightroom CC would replace 5 Lightroom but apparently they have downloaded as separate applications. When I tried to launch Lightroom CC I got an error message indicating "Lightroom has met permission issues. I followed the directions from this link met Lightroom user permissions problems. Bridge of Photoshop Lightroom crashes or hangs at the launch but it does not set itself (I did not take the final step which is - create a new user account). I was working off of Yosemite, so I hope that the error can be corrected if I updated my operating system. Today, I downloaded El Capitan and Lightroom CC will not always open - I get the same error. I went to manually update the read and write permissions for the folders listed, but some of them don't make changes. The preferences file gives me an error saying "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization." I don't have the "Adobe" folder in this route Caches

    • /Users/ [user name] / Library/Caches/Adobe /.

    How can I solve this problem and get Lightroom CC to work?

    @laurawielos,

    Try this:

    the Macintosh HD > users > [your user folder... click on 'Go' on the options bar at the top on the desktop (Menu bar) > then click on the 'option' key > mouse down to the selection of 'Library' that should appear > click on it to open the folder /Users/ [your user name] /Library/ ' "]

    You should now find the appropriate folders to change permissions. Just give your user name of the read/write permissions. I don't think you want to give everyone the read/write permission as some authors have claimed.

    Hi, this often comes with unwanted program, so I'll try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

    Note that not all programs removal allows to detect all malware, you may need to run multiple or all of them.

    After the removal you may need to reset your homepage, search etc, what you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.

  • google search gives results in Chinese

    When I get a few things to look for in the upper right corner, using the Google search engine. The result are shown in characters of Chinas. Then I go to the website of google and enter the same search elements on their homepage, the results appear in English. This problem does not exist when you use other search engines.

    I found the solution:
    I had to click on the link:
    http://www.Google.com/preferences?hl=en
    Here you can change the settings for the search results. It took me a bit of connection and disconnections with different Google accounts, but finally I could change the sort results in English.
    I still do not understand why the problem only appears in Mozilla, and only to a single computer.

  • Why is my bookmark 'localhost' changes to a Google search?

    When I 'Bookmark this Page' while watching a localhost/~username/target.html file, the current bookmark is initially correct, but then changes to a long Google search, I did a week ago. But when I bookmarked 127.0.0.1/~username/target.html, he gets a bookmark correctly and that it is correct. This started happening in FF v.41. I took screenshots to show the change in what I asked, and what I got. Note the time of these screenshots and the time of entry in the Notes. The first is when I have "Show all bookmarks" is opened and set bookmark the page. I closed the window of the library, and then made "Show all bookmarks" once again, the entry had changed. It makes no sense to me.

    Well, this uRL was so long that I didn't know what it was for sure. It took me to my Google Sites page on the problem of the assistive devices on Yosemite.

    I bypassed THIS problem by changing my favorites and change all occurrences of '//localhost' to ' / / 127.0.0.1. " It works all the time. Perhaps this bad URL was taken from history, so I deleted my URL history, and now 'localhost' also works.

    Thanks for listening. I'll mark this as "resolved", although it is still a mystery.

  • Cannot change the Google search bar

    In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.

    Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.

    I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything.  I can't solve the problem.

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • Cannot change the Google search criteria in Safari

    I have a MB Pro OS X El Capitan 10.11.12 running version 2015.  My default search engine is Google.  After the recent update, whenever I'm looking for something in the Apple search bar in Safari, it will bring me to the page of Google results as usual, but if I want to change the search criteria in the search bar (not the Apple search bar), it won't let me.  It won't delete, add, or change the search criteria in the Google search bar in the Web page.

    I tried Yahoo and Bing and both work very well.  I also tried Google on Firefox and it works fine too, there must be something with Safari.

    Any suggestions?  Does anyone else have this problem?

    Ugh! I just figured this out, the simplest thing too.

    There is a dialog box on the google page saying something like "Download Google Chrome" and you can click on the x to close that.  Once you do this, the search bar can be changed again.
