Commercial banner appears on the search box.

When I go to the google home page and start typing my search, he jumps in the middle of the screen upward (probably to make room for results).

However, as I continue to type, I very often get a banner shopping that appears right above the search box, immediately stop me from typing [see image attached]. I then hit the 'X' on the right of the banner before I can continue typing my search.

It is incredibly annoying, because sometimes it will keep triggering whenever I click in the search box.

It seems to be triggered if what you type is linked to something, you could buy, so for example, if you had to type the name of a book or a movie, it would pop up with a link to ebay or amazon and you give the best price for that item.

It is not in my modules. I am running XP with Firefox 38.0.5

Is this advertising software or something of Mozilla have added, thinking it would be a useful tool?

Yes, it points the finger directly at Avira!

  • Just installed v35. Now that the search box does not work. ??

    Today I got a message that Firefox v35.0 (Windows version) is ready to install. So I let it install. Once the installation is complete and restarted Firefox, the search box is more work. It presents suggestions for my default search engine (Google), but when I click on a suggestion, nothing happens. Or if I type the search term in directly or click on the arrow (right out of the box), nothing happens.

    If I put the search term in the URL window, it works, but I prefer to use the search box separate of the address bar.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • The search box in the Start Menu

    I typed a word in the search box and results list the files that I was looking for.  But also displayed are backup files I had created in December, copied to my hard drive external and then deleted from my PC.  When I looked in the properties file, it said they were in my user folder. I checked and they were not in the folder of the user, nor that they were in the trash.  I typed the name of one of these files displayed in the results of the search box in the Google Desktop Search with results 0 of this description files.  Windows suddenly developed ESP with these ghost files?

    Hi Chrisana!

    No problem. In Vista, choses things are a little different. Your problem is probably caused by the index not updated. The index is updated in the background, so I would check now to see if, in these last days the index has been updated and files of "shadow" will no longer appear. If the problem is not resolved, rebuild your index manually. It is a process in three easy steps.

    1. Open Indexing Options from the control panel or by typing "Indexing Options" in the search box of the start menu.
    2. Click the Advanced button. If you get a UAC prompt on the rise, click to allow.
    3. Click the Refresh button.

    Once the reconstruction starts, you can click OK/Cancel out Indexing Options. He finished in the background. Note that this may take some time to complete, I suggest to leave it before leave you for the day or head to bed. Otherwise, your computer may start slow as you try to use it while indexing happens. This is why the reindexing takes place in the background, normally.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot delete Internet files in the search box.

    I seem to be impossible to remove internet files that appear in the section 'drop down' in the search box. (By the search box, I mean one where you press F3 and it appears). I start to type Word on hover and press DELETE, but it will not erase. The history is quite clear.

    You just deleted the history.  If you want to stop moving forward, that you have to uncheck the boxes above that make selected AutoComplete or new entries will continue to be added.  I should have mentioned that.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, we will have to make a few changes to the search index, but first let's see if it works.

    Good luck!

  • The search box is missing in Windows Explorer and the search is not available from the Start button on the desktop

    I want to search my hard drive for a file.

    I open explore and there is no search box, or all the options to search.

    I click Start.  There is no box that allows me to type in the name, I'm looking for.

    Any suggestions on what setting or service may be disabled or stopped which disables the search options?

    Hi jhblzk.  The name of the service is Windows Search, but even if it has been disabled, you should always see the box "search programs and files".  No harm to check though.  Press the Windows key and r on your keyboard and type:

    services.msc

    and click OK.  Scroll down the page until you find and make sure that the startup type is set to automatic (delayed start) and the service status is started.  If this is not the case, click on start and OK your change.

    If the service does not exist, go to programs and features in Control Panel and click on "turn Windows features turn on or off.  Scroll down and check Windows Search.  OK, your changes and restart.  The search box appears when you click Start now?

    If an icon is left in the menu instead of the search bar box it still works?

    As long as you can reach the icon, it should work.

    Also, I'm confused about all the toolbars are different names, as location, search, address, etc.

    Address, search and so on are all located on the toolbar. The bar with the web address is sometimes called the address bar. Some users have more than one toolbar and move the search for her box (which gives more space all around). And he is called to the search bar.
