Search Engines
Can anyone please tell me how to download search engines, we have defragmented (think thats what it is called) our laptop and lost them all.
Sorry meant to have put this post in Technical, but don't know how to move it.

you sound nearly as lost as i am on computers.
dont understand your problem.
I suppose it cant be as simple as typing in www.google.co.uk (or fr.) into safari or whatever you use - or can it?

Hi..Yes that is the only way I can get a search engine now, I have a drop down on the corner of my tool bar, which used to have, Google, Ask, Yahoo etc, and search whatever I wanted without having to input the website, but now nothing, I used to use it for a quick search whilst already in another programme, crickey I wish I knew the jargon, like now if I wanted to know something to put and couldn't spell it for eg, I would type the word in and it would automatically go to words relating it....Does anyone know what I am trying to say....

search engines
well, i know nothing but...
i would type in google etc then click on bookmarks and save it as a bookmark.
not sure if that is enough for what you want but it is nice that there is no expert writing in with all the jargon.
ps. love the picture of you banging your head against the keyboard
pps. we have a mac anyway so it is probably all different.
ppps. hope somebody helps you out properly!

Blackduff, My opening page when I go on the internet is Orange, I have a toolbar at the top for me to enter my websites etc, then further alone in the corner is another box, this is where I put anything in there, looking up people, words, spelling etc it will then go into what ever engine was already programmed in, eg, Google, Ask, Yahoo etc. I don't need to put in the website, it automatically goes to site. If I have google as my default for eg it will search everything I put in on Google, but if I wanted to try Ask, I click the drop down button and then change my choice...this option is not a bookmark, as I have that seperate......Is that any help. If I click now it will say add engines, when I go into there it has choices suggested by other uses and are add ons, so I pressume I download????
Polremy.....that must really be me on my computer.

Back to search engines.....
in the search box which is at the right of the tool bar, do you have a G symbol to the left of it? When I click on the little arrow next to the G, it opens a menu which includes all the options you say you're missing.
But at the bottom it says Manage Search Engines. If you have this, it will take you to a page like this
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ?sort=name
which should allow you to add back in those you've lost (hopefully)

Thanks everyone.....
Sav, (where have you been) I tried to download and it did try and do it but told me my version is 1.5 and need 3.1, and only the other day did I get a pop up saying update Firefox "now" or "later" and I chose later as I was busy, so I shall wait for it to appear again then update and try again. I forgot all about that.
Helen, in the corner there is only a magnify glass symbol. So now I am impatiently waiting for the update to apear, is there a way I can retrieve it myself?
Just noticed this post has been moved to Technical, and realised there is a Computer section

Hi M & S
Yes i'm about
I don't use Firefox, but you should be able to update it here.
http://www.netsquirrel.com/articles/update_firefox.html
It will also install your google tool bar, not sure why you could not do it on the other link ?
Perhaps remove the old one from Add Remove Programmes.
The cakes are about as well www.totally-scrumptious.co.uk
If i could remember how to do it, you would have got a picture
Nice wine Jonathan, we are going to be down in Argeles at the end of August, we have some friends
staying with us for a while & we would like to pop over to see you, Rachel & the vineyard if possible.
Thanks for your hospitality last year
Cheers Sav
