• OSX Safari Search Bar Workaround 10.11.3

  Confirmed workaround solution

  
  

  After the upgrade to OSX 10.11.3, I found that the Safari search bar was unusable.

  There is a simple solution; However, it hinders the performance of search.

  Click Safari > Preferences > search

  Uncheck the box:

  1. include some Suggestions of Safari
  2. Search for quick activation Web site
  3. Top Hit pre-load in the background
  4. Display Favorites.

  

  Note that the performance must be affected.

  You can also use Private Browsing Mode - seems unaffected.

  Can confirm workaround works.

  In addition, for Safari on iOS, go to settings > Safari and disable the 'search engine Suggestions' and 'Safari Suggestions' (make it white instead of green).

• How to force the Explorer search to show ONLY the files that match the search target?

  I frequently need to search for files with brackets in the name of the file.    However, a bug in the Search Explorer means that search results will fill up with a lot of waste that does not match my search target.

  Example:

  At a command prompt "dir/s * (abc) *.» ' * ' usually works: the name of each file found will contain "(abc)".   (The only time that a search for the command line fails is when the version 8.3 of the name of the file matches the search target, but the name of the actual file does not work.)

  However, in Solution Explorer, look for "* (abc) *.» "*" returns all files with 'abc' in the name, and provides no way to filter the results so that I only see files with '(abc)' in the name of the file.

  This search bug means that you want "* (de) *.» ' * ' at the command prompt returns 72 hits, while searching with Explorer returns 7381 hits!

  Cancellation: Another inconvenience of Windows is when I work at a command prompt I get often unexpected results because the wildcard matching is done against both the full name of the file or folder and the name of 8.3.   Is there a way to force cmd.exe to restrict the wildcard matches only the complete names of the files and folders?  That is to say, is there a way to force cmd.exe to never, ever, use the 8.3 names?

  Hi Rob,

  In order to quickly provide a solution, please answer this question:

  Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  Method 1: If you have problems of location of the files, folders, or other items on your computer, try using the search and indexing of troubleshooting to solve the problem. It ensures that the Windows Search service is running and checks if you have the correct permissions to search all the directories on your computer.

• Missing bookmarks in the smart search field in Safari

  Since the release of El Capitan 10.11.6, favorites are missing from the smart search field in Safari to new Windows.  If a Safari any page web (so far), clicking in the search box if poster is Favorites to view icons, as is expected.

  Is this a bug, or can I make some adjustments to bring them new windows?

  Thank you!

  Dick

  Hello Dick Huitema.

  If I understand your message to the right, when you open a new window in Safari, you do not see your favorite icons in the smart search field.  When I use Safari, I always like to have my favorites available and ready to use, so I can understand why you would be tender for assistance with this.

  You probably feel that if Safari is set to open new windows in an empty page. If yours is configured in this way, there is a very easy way to get these favorites icons to show without actually changing any settings. When you open a Web page, you should see a blank webpage with your top search bar and a cursor blinking in the search bar. Instead click inside the search bar right away, click anywhere on the empty Web page and then click on in the empty search bar. You should then see your Favorites icons appear.

  Another option is to set your homepage to your Favorites. You can do it in Safari > Preferences. On the general tab in Safari preferences, select the drop-down menu next to "new windows open with", and then choose favorite. This should ensure that when you open new web pages, all your Favorites icons show immediately. Favorites icons always appear in the smart search field when additional tabs are open as well.

  Here are a couple of really helpfuls articles on Safari Favorites and search options:

• After that 5 weeks back to Japan, Firefox still gives me Japanese sites - for example, search for 'cat' in ff and I get Japanese wikipedia, the same search in English product Safari. Boring!

  After his return from 5 weeks to the Japan, Firefox still gives me Japanese sites - for example, if I search for 'cat' in Google using Firefox and I get Japanese Wikipedia and a whole bunch of other Japanese sites. If I repeat the same search in Safari, I get the English Wikipedia. I read Japanese, but this does not mean that I want all the time! How can I fix?

  Clear the cache and cookies from sites that cause problems.

• Firefox comes back to the top of the page when returning from a url why

  Hello

  When you use a search engine like google and by selecting a web site, when I use the left arrow to return to the results of my search for the web page is at the top of the list of the sites found not where I was down for.

  A slight but pain can it be set to return to the initial position of the page?

  Thank you

  Arnak

  Why not open each search result in a new tab and close each tab when you are done with it, instead of going forward and back in the same tab? The original search page will not need to reload each time you return.

• How to move the search return bar to the previous version?

  Using the latest update of Firefox gave me a new search bar, one where I can't change quickly, search engines to the contrary having to go into a menu to do so. This is detrimental for me since I use each search engine search suggestions, I installed. I can't do that. How to move the search return bar to the previous version?

  I found a solution. If you go in Subject: config, then find the browser.search.showOneOffButtons boolean and rocking that it restores the old functionality. (You may have to restart your browser)

  Note that, as always, to edit your subject: config at your own risk.
