How do I add a search link

17 years ago

Am probably using the incorrect language. But on my

Vista laptop, using the IE browser, I CANNOT use the

Google link to search. I have no other outlet for searching

with that browser. If I cannot search, how do I go about

adding a search link? Hope this makes sense to someone.

Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean when you say you can't use the Google link to search. What is the Google link and what happens when you try to use it?

Are you able to use other internet sites?

why don't you simply type in www.google.com in the address bar and go to google and do any search you need to do?

are you asking about a google toolbar?

once you go to google by the above method you can then simply save the google main page as a favorite so you can get to it easily from there.

That's why the current one is now links instead of the full text. It should be much easier to find what you're looking for b/c there is far, far less text to sift through. Look at the subjects of each post to find your topic and click on the link that takes you directly to that topic...and only that topic. I'm hoping this will be easier fore everyone to use.

I just print off the recipes as I find them. Yea, I have a gazillion recipes lying around the place. BUT, what I'm wondering is, when you put them into a folder, can you set up an index and put the name of the recipe and it's source into the index, alphabetically or by meal or by type of food (kind of like a recipe book), at the same time? I know it's a 2-step system but then when looking for a recipe you can just go into the index and perhaps the name of the recipe will tweak your memory. However, you may have hundreds of recipes then it's still cumbersome. edited to clarify This post was edited by blfenton on Wed, Feb 19, 14 at 18:12

"There were many things she did want, when her mother moved from an elegant 2,500-square-foot apartment in Los Angeles to a far smaller place in Manhattan, but plenty of others that she didnÂt, though she ended up with them anyway: the mirrored Victorian vanity with tiny drawers that replaced a sturdy bureau with room for her socks, underwear and sweaters; the little armchair, mild as a timid 19th-century housemaid in a faded dress, that had survived the San Francisco earthquake but was too small to serve as a comfortable reading chair."

If I add a door, how do I balance wall visually?

Ash, if you want to keep your current large layout with the new door, I do think you are worrying about nothing. You're looking at a diagram now that shows your kitchen, quite bizarrely, from a birds-eye view that doesn't exist in real life. The issue is how it'll look from the family room and secondarily from inside. The wall whose balance will define how the kitchen looks is the stove wall, which is very nicely strengthened by being framed by those little wing walls that define and separate the kitchen and family spaces. The wall you're concerned about will be seen mostly end-on from various angles and simply won't matter in the way you're imagining, which is in comparison with a more birds-eye-view "perfect" diagram no one's going to have in front of them. End-on views from us earth-bound sorts shorten distort and hide "perfect" sidewall layouts anyway, which is why attention is grabbed by the wall in front that can be seen. Even from inside the kitchen looking at the window wall, though, it'd look quite good. So you're going to start all over again, do it for another reason. :)

Hello............it's hard to explain. I DO have a google
address bar. If I use the word google in it, the entire
site just freezes up. The only way I can get out of there
is the reboot. If I would use a word like 'apple', it would
take me to those listings.....but I can't open any of the
sites, nor can I go back .........therefore, I have to
reboot again. This all started a couple of months ago, when
I awoke one morning to find BING, and my google was unusable.
When my son tried to help..the BING was gone and the GOOGLE
was useless. I hope this makes some sense to you. TIA

Have you tried emptying your cookies and temp files? There may be a corrupt file in either of those locations.

If you type www.google.com in the Address Bar, what happens?

Think I would go to the control panels 'programs and features' or 'add/remove programs' and uninstall the google tool bar.

Maybe reboot before reinstalling.

I have never used a toolbar nor the IE search box. I simply type what I want to search in the browser url address box and click it from the dropdown box. Searches the default search setting which is set in the drop down arrow on the IE search box.

agree go to control panel add remove programs and select to remove the google toolbar from there, if you see a bing one you can remove it also. then reboot, next go and download the google toolbar and install it if that is what you want, it should replace any of the old one that was not working.
Google Toolbar

make sure you do get the appropriate one for your browser whether it be IE or firefox etc
