delete the search yahoo on chrome engine

Recently (although this seems to be an older problem for Windows users), my default search engine has been hijacked to display Yahoo whenever I click on 'new tab' on Chrome. It's happened on Safari, but solved the problem by changing the default settings.

The solutions I could find are all specific to Windows. Does anyone have a Mac solution?

Running Chrome v47... (to date) on a 2-year-old iMac, v10.10.5, using Avast security. Interestingly, the Avast icon is gray when the Yahoo Search tab is turned.

  • Delete the search bar

    I can type my search in the address bar. Why do I need a separate search beside him bar? How can I get rid of him? And I can't find the RSS FEED button more. And yet one thing - your "Help button" should be replaced by a box 'he is NO help... "

    "Now you know a way to control the length of the URL address box. Does not seem a thingie adjust at the end."

    This control is rendered inoperative when the address bar and search bar are no longer in their original position. You can use code userChrome.css to fix the length or the address bar.

     #urlbar {
    max-width: 600px !important;
    }
     

    Use whatever number you want for the size of the window of the address bar.

    If you do not know the 3 'user' files can be used in Firefox, it is easier to use this extension to add this code in the userChrome.css file.

  • If I delete a file in the search results pane, am I actually delete the file or just the result of search?

    I'm a bit confused about the Windows XP search results pane.  I need to winnow down remove some of the documentation noted that the results do not apply.  If I remove them in the search results pane, am I actually remove the document from the PC or just delete the search result and leave the document in its original file?

    Hello

    You delete the file. Try it yourself...

    • For example, create a document with a unique name (say qwerty987.doc) word
    • Search all files and folders to qwerty987
    • Right-click on the file in the search results, and then click Open containing folder
    • Research of two results of window and the window of the folder containing the visible file (resizing and movement to achieve, as appropriate)
    • Remove the test file in the search results window and watch it disappear from the other window too

  • The search bar has no motor; then when I 'manage', basics like google are not available (probably because it should be there by default). Help!

    I tested each beta without any real problems. Then, when I installed 4b 11, I tried to use the search bar, and it wouldn't work. I clicked on the menu drop down and realized that all the engines had disappeared. So, I went to "manage search engines" and confirmed that none have been installed. The problem is, when I click on "get more search engines," I can only find variations on the engines real I want..., google, yahoo, etc. I'm guessing that because it should be there as part of the software? I have now 4.0RC, and the same problem exists. Please help, you have my gratitude!

    1. Click the icon to search on the search bar engine
    2. Open "manage search engines".
    3. Click on "Restore default settings"

    You can also try to delete the search.sqlite and search.json files in the Firefox profile folder

  • How can I have the address bar also be the search bar?

    How can I do in firefox address bar being the same as Chrome - it acts as the area of research as well as the address box

    I hate having to hit tab or use my mouse to move to the search bar

    Chrome: I love how just type anything and just hit return - it will do a search using your search engine

    YES: I know that if you add ' google: "all that you want to search, then the same behavior is created

    But having to type 7 characters is a little too much for me!

    Y at - it a software plugin that modifies the behavior?

    I'll be honest, because of this unique feature, I use Chrome instead of Firefox - I always use Firefox, 10% of the time - but it's because of other reasons

    Thank you

  • All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger.

    All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger.  I ran the fixes suggested in other threads with the same problem, but I still get Yahoo search results.  Google is my selected search engine.

    I noticed that the problem happens when I type my research in space on the search page itself.  This search page looks a bit like a page from Google, but there no links etc than Google does.  Instead, he has "SearchTech" downstairs (with Contact, privacy and terms). If I type my research topic in the menu bar the results come back in Google.

    I confirmed that my favorite search engine is Google. Previously I ran LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons and removed three files to those who had been loaded on my computer today.  I checked the extensions are that there is not.

  • Instructions to remove the search engine do not work, the "delete" button remains grayed out check marks independently. Is there another way that actually works?

    The Firefox Support instructions below do not work in version 36. The button 'delete' is never gray State asset once the unwanted/s search engine are checked for removal. I tried one at a time and in groups, it does everything just as they suggest below.

    Delete a search engine

    You can remove search engines, that you don't need by performing the following steps on the search bar in the toolbar or on the page tab.

       Click the search engine icon and select Manage Search Engines... to open the search engines manager.
       To remove a search engine, select it from the list, and click Remove.
    

    If you accidentally delete a default search engine, click on restore default values to recover the default search engines.

       If you accidentally delete a search engine that you installed, you must re-install it.
    

    I found the solution, the surprisingly simple. Thanks to everyone for trying, but against all the recommendations after a new analysis of malware, virus and upgrade to the latest version released on March 5, 2015... Here is the fix:

    Left click on the dropdown search button, then left click on the "change search settings." Ignore completely the checkboxes as suggested by Mozilla. The text of the search engine you want to delete to highlight in blue in the Middle, click on the grey Out button below should become active. The only function of the boxes by the search engine will make them visible or not when using the search box in Firefox. The solutions proposed by others seems logical, but I learned more than 4 decades as a technician in computer science, opt for the simple solution first. Thank you all for your suggestions, this fix works for versions 36 and 36.0.01on Windows 7. I guess it should work for other OS also.

  • The search engine DuckDuckGo appears as my primary search engine every time that I start Firefox, even if I delete it from my search engines every time, WHY?

    I tried several times to get rid of DuckDuckGo. I use the search engine to remove it and whenever I restart Firefox it reappears as my main search engine. I ran Norton 360 antivirus after deleting DuckDuckGo and he finds any problems, so I don't know what to do next. How can I permanently delete DuckDuckGo of Firefox?

All done malware also deleted all other options in search bar, disabled by default reset settings and seems to have deleted the folder of drive C search plugins. I tried an add-on to restore the default choice, but it didn't work. I tried to reset Firefox and a system restore. None worked. I copied the folder searchplugins from a backup, but that has not changed anything. I don't see a new Mozilla Firefox folder (34) as indicated in some other threads. I looked into: config and there are new things for aol it but I do not know how to remove them or what, if anything should replace them.

  • Search engines not available, except in mode "Run as Administrator". delete the parent.lock file profiles did not help

    After the upgrade to 21 FF, search engines no longer appear in the bar at the top right of the screen, so no searches are possible. I can navigate to my favorites and apparently also to the links contained in the e-mails.

    If I right click on the FF icon and choose the "Run as Administrator" option, the search engines are there again. I tried to delete the parent.lock in the profiles folder, that this solution was solved a problem I've had recently with the previous version of FF (not being not able to open FF and getting the error message on another version of it running, which had to be closed in the first place - but there was no other version running.) In this case, too, before I discovered the solution, I could open FF using the option "Run as Administrator"). However deleting the parent.lock file does not resolve this issue.

    I would be grateful for your help, especially if a person not very computer like me can understand put in simple terms!

    You have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder?

    Try to remove the file search.json and a possible search.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder to reset the default search engines.

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

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the browser\\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
