Contacting Google?

Hello





When I log onto my GoogleMail, I press help so that I can cotact Google.


The problem is, I cannot find the part of the page that says "Contact us"


All there is are forums to ask other people.





No one else is going to be able to acsess Googles server inorder to prevent problems with a fault on those servers so that I can e-mail a company that has some e-mail adresses working and not others.


I know that some of the e-mails send from Google to some places and not others, last time it was only .gov it wouldn't send to.





Can you give me the approapriate contact adress for this to Google?

Does Google desktop have a cool optical effect on your computer?

This might work on your computer or it might be a problem with my screen, I want to know.


If you minimise Google desktop so that only the search box remains in the task bar and look at search box at right angles to the screen it should be white.But if you move your head so that you are looking at the search box from above you should be able to see the google logo appear very lightly.


I have never seen this happen before. Is it an intentional effect by google or just a problem with my screen?

My Google Toolbar is missing in IE and WinXP won't let me uninstall. Tried reinstalling it, didn't work.

I'm on Windows XP with IE 6. Recently, my Google Toolbar


disappeared. If I right-click on my IE toolbars, I can see it there,


unchecked. But, when I try to check Google, to add it, it won't let


me. Same thing if I go to the View Toolbars menu. Then, I tried


uninstalling Google Toolbar, without any success. It won't uninstall.


I've also tried reinstalling over the application and that doesn't my


problems either. No matter who logs onto the PC, they have the same


problem.





HELP!

My Google Toolbar is missing in IE and WinXP won't let me uninstall. Tried reinstalling it, didn't work.
Download the latest version of Google toolbar and try to install it again. If still you are unable to install, then you will have to search the registry entries of Google toolbar and delete it.





Once you have removed the registry entries try installing it again.

Help! Google Charged Me?

Hi i need help finding googles contact number. I checked my bank statement today and Google had charged me almost $200. I never use google!! Nor do i ever buy anything from google. Why are they charging for? And have anyone had this experience before?

Help! Google Charged Me?
I don't think you should be contacting google just yet, because this sounds to me like someone has obtained your debit card details and used it for a google service such as google ads, or in other words fraud.





You should get in contact with your bank as soon as possible to find out what to do.





Hope I have helped you and good luck

GOD exists according to Google?

59,900,000 Search Results Evidence of Deity, Experts Agree





In the most conclusive evidence of a Supreme Being ever discovered,


a Google™ search of God has proved once and for all that He exists,


theologians agreed today.





“To those doubters out there who still don’t believe that God exists,


I have just one piece of advice: Google™ Him,” said Dr. George Darlington


of the University of Minnesota Divinity School.





The Google™ search of God turned up over 59 million websites


featuring Him, a number that theological scholars around the world


said makes God’s existence an open and shut case.





The stunning discovery, expected to wipe out atheism worldwide,


was made entirely by accident by Jason Blivens, 22, a video-store


clerk in Tacoma, Washington.





Speaking to reporters today at his home, Mr. Blivens said he meant


to do a Google™ search of the word “bod” but accidentally typed


the letter “g” instead of “b.”





“As soon as those search results came up, I immediately alerted


the authorities,” Mr. Blivens said. “I knew this was something big.”





In contrast with the 59 million sites found for God, a Google™ for


Satan turned up only 3 million sites, suggesting that God is much


more powerful than Satan, as theologians have long argued.





But in a finding that some scholars called worrisome, Paris Hilton


turned up on over 3.5 million sites, indicating that the hotel


heiress has actually eclipsed the Lord of Darkness as a force for


evil.





In a positive development, however, “good” received 178 million


search results while “evil” snagged only 17 million, 16 million of


those stemming from foreign policy speeches by President George


W. Bush.

GOD exists according to Google?
I'm a little slow... I was about to go off about ethical standards of reporting (I happen to be a reporter) when I realized -- I hope -- this is a joke. The obvious gap between the facts and the claim, the sources who all seem to be like those rednecks that always find UFO's and meteors and somehow get quoted in print. Plus there are some AP things that are a little off (a reporter would probably never print "Mr. Blivens," only "Blivens").





But seriously, you had me going until about half-way through. This is pretty good.

I think Google toolbar is freezing up my Internet Explorer page?
Ok, If you want a really good spell checker without the hassles of tool bars then download Mozilla Firefox. Firefox has a built in spell checker that is a great tool. =]. As for the yahoo and google toolbars. Just uninstall them after you install Firefox, toolbars just use unnecessary resources when browsing the net.

Is Google too much?

Hello,





I would like to know if I am not alone when it comes to Google.com- I think that I know how Google PageRank works, but it appears as though there is too much advertising.





Is there a way we can promote new sites? Google only gathers info from sites that are commonly visited ,therefore; working it to the top. Who wants to help me think of a better way to assist new sites? the only way they are getting anywhere is by paid marketing; who can afford to market intensively to compete with the large companies?!





I think that we can combine our knowledge and work something out....





Any comments?

Is Google too much?
google rocks.


theres a reason its at the top.


if you want to create a site with more hits than google, create a site better than google.


and good luck with that.
Reply:"but it appears as though there is too much advertising" - this is an unsubstantiated statement, who says ?

If I search in Google or Yahoo it returns pages of search results?

ten per page. How can I EXPORT ALL the results of a search query into a DATABASE format for offline manipulation? The fields would be Page Title, URL, Short Description, Search Rank. My database has much more features of finding the information in the search results export than Google itself has. I wrote this to Google that I want to be able to use SQL to query their database and they said they only had the Google API for accessing the search results. I dont have time or patience to write programs using Google API. Why doent Google allow me to just export all the results (or the first 5000 results) into a Db format?

If I search in Google or Yahoo it returns pages of search results?
y wud they allow u' mess around their "money baby".......its business sister........nothing personal.........

First, nobody uses yahoo search. Everyone uses google. Google is much better.





Second, yahoo answers is stupid and pathetic. Most of the people on here report every question for no reason and the people answering aren't even serious.





GOOGLE WILL MAKE YAHOO GO OUT OF BUSINESS WITHIN 5 years..that's for sure.

How can Google be involved in internet scams???

In trying to find a PS3, I came across BigWinterDeal, only accepting Western Union, referencing EICAFraud.org. Yahoo Answers really helped me determine this is a scam. However, I found this scammer via a Google Sponsored link. How can Google accept ad revenue from such an obvious internet scam? In my mind this calls into question every Google Sponsored Link. I know "Buyer Beware" but I feel internet giants like Google and Yahoo have an obligation weed out obvious scam businesses before doing business with them. Do they do Due Dilegence? How about Corporate respnsibility? Are they not liable if assisting a known scammer to do business?

Google Adwords and Yahoo Sponsored Search both have very extensive terms of use for their advertisers...





However they also have a lot of them so if you found something... simply contact Google. They'll investigate it and remove it.

When downloading Google Earth, whats the difference if I select Run or Save from File Download Security Warnin

When downloading Google Earth, whats the difference if I select Run or Save from the File Download Security Warning Dialog Box? They both seem to place the Google Earth in my Settings and Documents. If I turn off/on the computer I can still access Google Earth whether I choose to Run it or Save it during download. If I select Run the download procedure is more automatic and quicker with less things I have to do. If I chose to Save, then I can choose where I can save it to, but it still places a part of Google Earth in Settings and Documents I am hoping there are other differences. Thank You.

When downloading Google Earth, whats the difference if I select Run or Save from File Download Security Warnin
i think there is no more differences if u save file it will b save as a back up also if u run that files will b saved temparary and after installation those files will b deleted
Reply:When you click Save it saves the installation files to the destination folder, not the application, whereas if you just click Run it will run the installation file but it will be a temporary file that will be deleted once you clean your cookies and stuff out. To change where Google Earth is located you have to change the directory in the installation process
Reply:Either of the ways u select, the setup files will definitely be downloaded to your local machine first. Its only that opting "Run", will save the files in temporary folder(as in ur case, documents %26amp; settings) and start installation automatically but will get deleted gradually once the maximum limit of the folder is exceeded. So it will reside in the folder until its in limit size. Whereas if u choose to 'Save', it will ask u to select a folder u want to save the files in. This will not get deleted automatically and u can keep it for installations in future!


How does google capture/accomplish the new street view imagery in Google Maps?

I just discovered the google Street View functionality in Google Maps. It doesn't show up in most streets, but I've found several that it does on. Just curious...how does Google accomplish this? Did they send photographers out to take street level 360 degree photos every 20 feet or so on all of these streets or is this somehow accomplished from satallite photos? Any insight for a curious mind is appreciated.

Does google collect too much personal information?

"Google’s ambition to maximise the personal information it holds on users is so great that the search engine envisages a day when it can tell people what jobs to take and how they might spend their days off.


Earlier this year, however, Google bowed to concerns from privacy activists in the US and Europe, by agreeing to limit the amount of time it keeps information about the internet searches made by its users to two years."

Why does Google Distribute Libel?

"At a time when Google proposes to amass ever more sensitive and personal information on Internet users worldwide, Google's lack of responsibility in actively distributing unsupported libel has given many, real cause for concern. It is the unique status of libel law in America that allows Google immunity from prosecution from anything they publish on www.google.com. And yes, that includes anything they'd like to publish about you" claims Brian Retkin Director dotWORLDS.

Why does Google Distribute Libel?
What exactly is Google publishing on "www.google.com"? All I see there is a single input form object and a few links to additional Google services. Maybe you mean the Google News site. Wait, they are only providing a mashup of information from other news sources and provide direct links to those sites. So where exactly is Google publishing this information? They really seem more like a central location to find information that is already available online from other sites (i.e. a search engine), much like Yahoo, MSN, AltaVista, and others.
Reply:It's there on www.google,com if you want to see it (as well as the news section).





and we should also note that ........In stark contrast to what many see as a total disregard for the reputation of its users........Google vehemently protects their own privacy. According to a September 4, 2005 story in the Sunday Times Online by Dominic Rushe, a recent public relations fiasco occurred after Google banned their staff from talking to CNet reporters for one year. It transpired that the ban was Google's response to CNet's publication of personal information about Dr. Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO. It was then learned that not only was the information already in the public domain, but the same information about Schmidt was also available on Google's own websites.





Google's reaction to CNet was inconsistent with its handling of a man who had been falsely accused as a pedophile by his wife during divorce hearings. His name and photograph were posted on a police website but were removed after the charges were dropped. However, having picked up the story, Google did not remove the pictures or postings it had published on its search engine. According to Pam Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum (WPF), the page remained accessible through Google and was only removed after a long struggle.





Of course Google survived the naming of their CEO by CNET. Still, whatever happened to the falsely accused man. Does anybody know. It is the weakest that are most vulnerable in this arena and they are also the least able to defend themselves.





How would you respond to waking up to find that your life, your family, your career had been ruined by someone who had knowingly libelled you - lied about you for their own purposes - and who was able, via Googles systems, to hide themelves under a cloak of anonymity.

Will google linux b successful?

google is planning an os against windows..named google linux(google version of linux)..will it be successful??

Will google linux b successful?
I missed that one. I've been following Google's adventures into operating systems for months but the Linux one has slipped by me. I just did a search and you're on the button. Google Australia is advertising for Linux engineers and one blog in the UK reported on it. My sources have been talking about something completely different. A Google OS to connect directly with the Internet. It's suggested it will be via a Set Top Box with payment being made through newsagents etc. The cost is muted at around $5, 10 per month. This is for people who only want the Internet, not PC users as such. All you will need is a keyboard. All storage, software etc., will be online so you can take your keyboard wherever you go. Google have been purchasing all the unused fibre optic cable in the world and they're currently laying a cable to Australia.





Firefox and Google will probably merge, but Thunderbird will get the flick. It's interesting about Linux because I thought that many people would probably opt for the Google Internet setup and go for a Play Station for home media. Linux is a logical choice. I hope it happens and happens fast. The sooner I can rid myself of Microsoft the better. They've been ripping us off for too long.





In answer to your question, yes it has to be successful. No game or media developers have made software for Linux because they've been in bed with Microsoft and Linux is free. Once google puts it name to Linux officially, everything will be immediately available on that os.
Reply:Yes. People trust Google a lot these days. Their technical prowess is creating awe among the masses. Considering that, Google's distro should be successful.





Other GNU/Linux distros will stand a lot to learn from it if it really comes out.

How google's data center is work?

hi friends


i am a student and i am seraching how information in google's server backup and recover


in true in google's data center what occur ?


I do search in google but I can not found good article so please help me

How google's data center is work?
google data centers crawls part of internet, and put the information on websites discovered and how good they are in their database
Reply:Adding to what Intervi.... said the things that "crawl" are called spiders. Maybe you can find better info by searching for "google spiders". Also a search for "meta tags" and "revisit after" in the meta tags could help.





That is the best I can tell you off the top of my head... hope you find what you are looking for.

Does google collect too much personal information?

"Google’s ambition to maximise the personal information it holds on users is so great that the search engine envisages a day when it can tell people what jobs to take and how they might spend their days off.


Earlier this year, however, Google bowed to concerns from privacy activists in the US and Europe, by agreeing to limit the amount of time it keeps information about the internet searches made by its users to two years."

Is Google going to go out of style?

I used to be a google fanatic, but ever since I got on yahoo answers I found that this is a better way to find answers to the random stuff I used to google. And it's more fun too, since you hear from real people.

"Hacked" Google page?

I clicked a link on a forum, it said google.. but, it took me to this site (don't click on it) www.google.com/xx-hacker... so.. even if I type www.google.com it go's to that page =\. How do I fix this? any help is appreciated and Thank you in advance

"Hacked" Google page?
Don't worry its not spy-ware or anything serious, It's a joke page, but I think the reason it constantly pops up is that Google's remembered the page for you (like preferences). Just type in http://www.google.com/ncr


This should work, because I typed in your link, and it worked for me and I have normal Google again. If you go to language preferences on their page you can see all different types of 'joke pages' as well, eg. Hacker (The one you had) and Pig Latin etc.


So it's nothing to worry about.

Why Google and Yahoo search engines indexing a white person’s report faster than black person's report.

I know if the story is involving a white person it will get more press coverage but my question is why Google and Yahoo favor a story which is written by a white reporter. I have been following several stories for long time. Most of the time the news never end to the Google's or Yahoo's news alert and index until the story is picked by a white reporter. It is true every where. I thought Google and Yahoo search engines are color blind? May be the stereo type racist engineers (the boss and management) (I know most of them will be Indians and will not do that) the management behind the seen are turning this search engines to a racist evil machine?

Why is google so popular?

I just dont see why or how Google is so popular ... I have tried the same search on both search engines many times and yahoo always comes up with information relevant to what im searching for....google on the other hand never comes up with anything relevant , really it seems the results you get are just the first random pages that have the words or word you typed in the search block..........ive tried being open minded about it and tried to like it, but its just not my cup of tea. ......... Its almost like because people say google this or google that, it must be popular or cool........, that is so "lamb" like...., ive been using the internet for almost 10 years now since the dial up days, so its not like i havent used a search engine before .........so tell me why is it so popular? try it yourself, run the search engines side by side before you answer, and tell let me know how it goes.

Why is google so popular?
Exactly, I always use yahoo! as my homepage and my search engine. People kept on telling me to use google, but I never listen. i say to them"when you need to check youremail or see who won in basketball, which site do you use, google or yahoo?" No brainer, since I dont think google has a sports section. And like you said, google and yahoo search basically the same thing, so really.......no difference.


What i like yahoo the most is the page, i mean everything you need to for the day(like temperature, etc)its right there. Google is just a plain page with a search engine. Nothing there, really. Most people tell me that google searches more stuff, but as far as I have searched, the results were the same. So, maybe google has one or two more searchs, but really, when is the last time you went through all the pages in a search.....?

Why do I like google? it loads fast, indexes billions of pages, has many extra commands to use that i like (cache: site: allinurl: intext: ,etc.) Coming up with a relevant site really depends on the search phrases you use, google lets me put a minus in front on sites i don't want.

Man me too on the dial up, and the open mind, and I've tired to like google but it just sucks, same with MSN.





What it is, is google results are far too revenue driven. As in what every you search for you get the ones who paid the most rather than what best fits your request.





Yahoo is way better for relevant results, but i sense they are trying to build up their search revenue too so we may loose relevant results with yahoo.

Reply:The reason that people like google so much is that u can search on images, maps, video, news and things posted on the web.

Is google adsense allowed in image galleries?

I have a huge image gallery and i want to put google adsense in it..Does google allow this ? if no den is dere any idea u can suggest to make it possible?so that google can approve my site for adsense.

Is google adsense allowed in image galleries?
You can try to apply with your site to see if your site will be accepted by Google Adsense. I know of some image galleries type of sites that use Adsense so it must be allowed.





However, you will be faced with two problems:





- You need to put text in your site to have targeted ads. Adsense mediabot will not be able to read your images, so the more text on the page, the better





- You might find the ads to be low-paying, with fewer advertisers and your ads getting low clickthrough rates as art is not typically a competitive space in Adwords. Hence, income from Adsense may not be what you are expecting





But try it and apply at http://www.google.com/adsense - making sure that your pages have lots of text on them in addition to the images. This way you stand a better chance at getting accepted to the program
Reply:They let you store up to 2 giga pics and video

Reply:Yes, you can do it without any worry. If you have doubts plz read adsense policies at adsense.com

Why did google say "invalid clicks?"?

why did google say "invalid clicks?"?


Why this google say invalid clicks and suspend account. as i know there were not any invalid clicks. i wonder whether it happens when we update our site. same thing happened to a freind of mine and he says same things. we do not have to click on our banners where we have a heap of works to do. dont know what happened to google.anyway i ask them about this but reply was not sufficient. are ther any other good adsense program than google? what about Yahoo? Does Yahoo answer these questions????? thanx

Why did google say "invalid clicks?"?
Even if you didn't click on your own Ads, chances are your account will not be reinstated. The best thing you can try to do is offer to send Google any server logs from your website for when they think the fraud happened, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Unfortunately, Google retains the right to close your account at any time for any reason they see fit.





The Yahoo Publisher Network is currently in beta testing, and you must apply to get in to it. If you are accepted in to the program, you will find that the ads are not as closely targetted as the AdSense ads were, thus your CTR % will not be as high as it was on AdSense. This doesn't, however, mean you won't be earning as much. The amount that YPN tends to pay out per click is usually much greater than you would be receiving on AdSense.

SEO ==> google doesn't update?!??!?!?

I upated my website a long time a go and it's been like 2 month that im waiting for google to update my website on google's index.


Anybody else has the same problem?


the last time google updated my website was 15 Jul 2007

SEO ==%26gt; google doesn't update?!??!?!?
Hi,


It depends on how often you add new content to the site. Google and the other search engines will only come back as often as you update the content i.e. if you update the content once every couple of weeks then the search engines will come back every couple of weeks.





Looking at adding a news section to your site which updates at least once a week. This will help you get your content indexed quicker with the search engines.

Problem with google.com, mail.google.com, blogger.com?
google.com and google.co.in are the same...


major websites have local servers at many countries.. if any website has a server at india, then it ends with .co.in or .in only. rest of the website is same.





local servers are installed to cope with large number of users at a place, to provide them with faster services.. so, when u type google.com on ur address bar, the request first goes to the india server, and it serves u with the .co.in page..





so there's no problem with ur pc or ur softwares... go surfing with these sites...

Is everyone aware that Google constantly spies on us?

Previous questions seemed to focus on Google being evil for its size and certain questionable activities (China, etc).





However, I am concerned about Google's continuous spying. According to the tech people at Netscape:





Google records everything they can:


For all searches they record the cookie ID, your Internet IP address, the time and date, your search terms, and your browser configuration. (see http://tech.netscape.com/viewstory/2006/...

Blackberry help...(google mobile maps)?

i have a blackberry 8310 for at%26amp;t and i want to download google maps mobile on it... the site says that i need a data plan for it to be free... ( im guessing) so what kind of plan do i need and is it actually 100% free...








p.s. i have unlimited internet on my blackberry





thanks





whenever i go on it, it asks me something like ' google maps has requested to use your gps capability... would you like to accept this/" when i put in "no" the application shows exactly where i am in the country... is this normal for google maps or is this google maps using a data plan that i dont have and costing me money??? thanks again





p.s.i dont have a gps plan..... ( that is if they even have one lol)

Blackberry help...(google mobile maps)?
With your unlimited plan you will be able to use Google Maps Mobile any time you like. This will not cost you anything on top of your regular monthly bill.





Check out this link for some detailed info about the application http://www.bbgeeks.com/software-reviews/...





As far as the GPS functionality is concerned, the maps application will always try and use GPS to determine your location as accurately as possible.





Since you do not have GPS functinality on your BlackBerry, the application will use the cell phone towers around you to determine your location as accurately as possible.





If you are in an area with many cell phone towers, the position on the map will be very close to where you really are. In areas where there are fewer towers, the accuracy of your location will be decreased.

Why is google displaying MORE results if you EXCLUDE additional words trying to slim down the results?

Example:





Google: torrent paris: 290,000 hits.


Google: torrent paris -wallpaper: 2,160,000 hits





I see this very often when trying to slim down the number of search results. Often, the opposite effect is the result.


Obviously, Google does something wrong when searching it's databases. But what?





I have to emphasize that i DO NOT ask how to change my search strategy.





Technically, if i search for all sites with these words combined:


torrent paris


then the number of search results should be greater than if i search for sites which include


torrent paris


but exclude


wallpaper


.


(Too bad btw that i can't use leading spaces above - Yahoo deletes them.)





You can test it yourself by using other words. Often the number of results are lower if you enter more search demands, but often it does not - which is, to say the least, weird.





Please, don't turn the question into something else. I'm only interested in how Google's search methods work and why they don't follow logic.

Why is google displaying MORE results if you EXCLUDE additional words trying to slim down the results?

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en%26amp;q=t... is 259,000


wheras http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en%26amp;q=t... 291,000

How do you make Google Earth launch Firefox instead of Internet Explorer?

When I click a link in Google Earth, I want the linked site to be displayed in Firefox. Google Earth keeps launching Internet Explorer even though Firefox is registered as my default browser.





I've found no setting in Google Earth to set the web browser it uses. Nor is Google Earth using the default web browser registered. Is there a key in the registry that I can change to tell Google Earth to use Firefox? I've tried several to no avail.

How do you make Google Earth launch Firefox instead of Internet Explorer?
It is not a problem of Google Earth, but your default browser which is IE. Set the default browser as firefox and Google Earth will open the link in the active window of Firefox.





To set this goto Tools%26gt;Options and in the General tab in Options Window select "Firefox should check to see if it is default browser when starting" in "Default Browser" Groupbox.


My Google search is acting strange?

I'm using IE7, and don't want to switch to anything else. I have Google search in my toolbar, and it works okay. When the google toolbar opens the google search page the result links work fine, but I can't load the next search page or type in a new search on the search page. An error shows up on the bottom left. Here are its details:





Line: 63


Char: 3


Error: 'color' is null or not an object


Code: 0





I've tried reloading Java and that didn't fix it.


Any other suggestions besides reloading IE7? Or is that my only/best option?

My Google search is acting strange?
what you have to do is instead of using google search bar use google.com
Reply:I have the same problem and using google.com doesn't solve it. This problem has only recently manifested (this month) but I notice that if I log on as a different user (i.e. not administrator) the problem vanishes. Report It

They only publish stats like that once a year, and even then it's not really accurate. They pull out all the porn-related search terms and other things, as well.

Does Google Analytics filter out search engine spiders and bots?

Our Web hosting agency provides us with Web Trends (a version from the dark ages) yet they refuse to apply the browsers.ini filter to our tracking configuration to filter out search spiders. My company does not want to switch hosting agencies because the one we have is so reasonably priced. So, I am considering setting up Google Analytics for our sites. I don't want to wind up in the same situation though - does Google Analytics filter out search engine bots from tracked data?





According to our dark ages Web Trends, search spiders are approximately 75% of our traffic. Therefore I completely mistrust the accuracy of pretty much all the metrics - visits, page views, average visit duration, bounce rate, etc. Do you think Google Analytics can provide us with a more accurate measure of our sites' performance???

Why google Earth is slow zoom or move problem?

Google Earth is slow whhyyy google earth slow Los Angeles or New york city look building but slow on google earth why?

Why google Earth is slow zoom or move problem?
yes what the others said is true make sure your RAM is at least 50% free because google earth uses a lot of memory, its what us tech geeks call a (memory intensive) application and u can always try seeing if your internet connection is the issue or try going to the run command and typing "msconfig" and "disable all" on the start-up tab and frees a lot of Virtual memory and paging file space up by doing that if i can be of any more assistance please let me know.

How to delete past searches from Searchbar?





You can clear your Google search history from the Google search box, the Google Toolbar, or your browser. We've included instructions for all three methods below.





CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH BOX HISTORY





The search history that displays in the search box on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. Instructions appear below for disabling this search history in common browsers. If your browser isn't listed, we suggest consulting its online support center.





Microsoft Internet Explorer


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Internet Options" and the "Content" tab.


3. Within the "Personal information" area, select "AutoComplete."


4. Click on "Clear Forms." You can also un-check the "Forms" box in this window to keep this information from being stored in the future.


5. Click "OK" to exit.





Alternatively, you can delete individual entries from your search history by using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search, then pressing the Delete key once.





MSN


If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.





Mozilla Firefox


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Options" %26gt; "Privacy" %26gt; "Saved Form Information."


3. Click "Clear" and un-check the box.


4. Click "OK" to exit.





Safari


1. Go to the "Safari" menu and select "Preferences."


2. From the menus that pop up, select "Autofill."


3. Go to "Other forms" line and select the "Edit" button.


4. From the list of sites for which AutoFill is currently being applied, select "Google.com" %26gt; "Remove" %26gt; "Done."





CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE TOOLBAR HISTORY





To clear your search history from the drop-down text box on the Google Toolbar:





1. Click on the Google logo on the Toolbar to access the drop-down menu.


2. Select the "Clear Search History" option.





If you'd like to completely disable your Toolbar's search history, please click the "Options" button on your Toolbar and un-check the box next to "Drop-down search history."





If you have Google Toolbar 4.0 installed, you can clear your Toolbar's search history by starting to enter a search term in your Toolbar's search box. When your drop-down search history appears, simply click the "Clear History" link.





Please note that this only clears the search history from the Google Toolbar, which is entirely separate from the search history stored by your browser.





If you've followed these steps and information still appears in your Toolbar search box as you type, please visit http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer... for additional assistance.





CLEARING YOUR BROWSER HISTORY





Like your Google search box history, the search history that displays in the address bar on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. Instructions appear below for clearing and/or disabling your search history in common browsers. If your browser isn't listed, we suggest consulting its online support center.





Microsoft Internet Explorer


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Internet Options" and the "General" tab.


3. Click the "Clear History" button. To completely disable the history function, set "Days to keep pages in history" to zero ("0").


4. Click "OK" to exit.





MSN


If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.





Mozilla Firefox


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Options" %26gt; "Privacy" %26gt; "History."


3. Click on "Clear." To completely disable the history function, set "Remember visited pages for the last X days" to zero ("0").


4. Click "OK" to exit.





Safari


1. Click "History" on the top menu.


2. Click "Clear History" at the bottom of the menu.

Reply:Almost in all cases an application set on the workstation is more stable than an application that runs of the internet.





This can be argued especially w/ the windows operating system. But the application that runs off the internet is really made for open source use. Meaning that the online app is capabable of running on any computer, at any time, anywhere.





This is a concept of how Google is attempting (in it's products) to virtualize the computer experience. Apps such as G-Docs, or G-spreadsheets run on an open source online apps that can work on any computer and can be accessed from anywhere.





The desktop G-talk product was made primarily so it would no longer have to rely on the internet browser.





You have to ask yourself what's better. The G-talk program running through the internet browser such as 'internet explorer' which has the famous reputation of having 'App hangs' or would u rather the program not depend on another program in order to run.





When you check your gmail you'll notice that G-talk is by default activated in the left hand corner, u can disable this by choosing an option on the bottom that eliminates it from operating.


In this way you can save some bandwidth.





Hope I helped.


What is google UK?

What is this google UK? When i type in www.google.com it takes my to the google.co.uk What is this? It is in English and all but what is it for? How do i get it back to the standard english. I tried changing it on the language but when i left google and tried to come back again it took me to the UK. Thanks for your help!

What is google UK?
It has automatically determined you are from UK from your IP address. Your IP address contains digits that show your ISP (internet service provider [e.g. Tiscali, Aol, Wanadoo].





*EDIT*


Who thumbed this down!? This is something that Google did to me when I went to Google.com and I discovered it was because of my IP address.





He asked why it was that Google redirected him from .com to co.uk, not JUST what is Google.co.uk!

to change the language, search 'google' and the country you want, and then it should be in the language you want.

1.) you live in the UK


2.) you have recently "moved" to the UK


3.) you secretly like the UK and your computer is smart


4.) you broke your internet

Is google the best?

Hi all,


Do you think that google is the best search engine of all times and it's impossible to be created some new one,better?


Do you know that google only lists 30% from the pages in the whole internet (the rest unlisted in google pages are known as the "invisible web" ...check wikipedia about that term).





Best,


Bob

Is google the best?
No, Google isn't the best, but it is the most popular in the USA and UK -- which makes it the most popular.





Why use Google (or any of the 200 or so search engines) when you can use a METASEARCH ENGINE that searches more than one search engine at the same time -- including Google?!





For example, Ask.com searches Google as well as Altavista, Excite etc.





Seems pretty daft to restrict yourself to merely one...





Google are too powerful anyway -- didn;t they just throw BMW off for trying to get a better Google ranking?





Web designers go mad, and millions of web pages HAVE to be redesigned every time Google changes it's ranking rules -- which they do often. Web designers find a small loophole that gets their sites onto the first Google returns page, and Google discover the loophole and close it... it's been cat and mouse like that for years.





In the source code for web pages there are metatags that web designers use for search engines -- a description of the site, keywords and so forth. OK, so this got abused by a few unscrupulous folk, so Google no longer uses these tags at all. So Google descriptions tend to be the top menus, left menus or ads! Google-wise sites all have the navigation on the right side as a result!





The more sites that link to your site, the higher ranked you will be.





The more links from your site to other sites the higher ranked you will be.





In addition, each linked site is ranked, such that if a high ranked site links to you, then you get Google kudos.





But, last year (because everyone started doing a LINKS page for their site), the links have to be relevant and in the course of the text of each page!





Then recently, Google decided that each page has to have a keyword saturation -- and that the links had to relate to the saturation percentage!





Put simply, if you design and upload a website, if no-one links to you, if you link to no other site (why should you?), you take no Google Ads, banner exchange etc, and (heavens above) you use a frame set or even have your domain name point to a frame page (cloaked redirection), then Google will not find you.





You will be found within a very short time by hundreds of sites around the world -- you can submit directly to them, they will use your meta tags, keywords and text strings.





In summary... if you want to FIND relevant sites, use a MAJOR METASEARCH ENGINE, such as 20, 37, Beaucoup, Dogpile, Debriefing, IXQuick, Kartoo, Search.com, Vivisimo, etc. or use a directory engine or indexing engine (INDICE).

Reply:I usually get the best results from Google, but I think the search engine as it currently exists is in a very primitive state.





For one example of what's missing, consider context. Is the information from a technical journal article, an advertisement, or a political opinion piece? You can try to bias the search towards a particular type of item by judicious choice of search terms, but it's still hit or miss. I want to be able to specify the context of the information, or to sort search results by category.





Also, to find the answer to a specific question, you have to guess what words are going to be in that answer. I want to be able to just ask the question, and let the search engine sort it out. If it needs more information, it needs to be smart enough to ask for it.





Basically, I think the search engine of the future will read web pages for meaning, not keywords.

This is because:

-Google has a sense of humor (april fools day franks spring to mind)


-Google is powerfull


-Google Releases free software (google sketchup, google earth, google pack)


-Google has gmail which has huge storage


-Google is more accepted than google.
