(Redirected from Browser.urlbar.match.url)

When you type a keyword into the Location Bar, Firefox does text string searching within your history and bookmarks. Results are displayed in a drop down list. The drop-down list results show you the page’s favicon, the full title, the URL, and whether you have bookmarked or tagged the page in a richly formatted two-line display.

You can restrict what kind of results are shown in the drop down list by using customizable characters. Include the character anywhere in the address bar separated by spaces to have it restrict what results are displayed. The characters are as follows:

Preference names in about:config	default key	action
browser.urlbar.match.title	#	Returns results that match the text in the title.
browser.urlbar.match.url	@	Returns results that match the text in the URL.
browser.urlbar.restrict.bookmark	*	Returns only results that are from the bookmarks.
browser.urlbar.restrict.history	^	Returns only results that are from the browser’s history.
browser.urlbar.restrict.tag	+	Returns only results that have been tagged.
browser.urlbar.restrict.typed	~	Returns only results that have been typed.

If you do not select a result from the drop-down list but just press enter, Firefox takes you to the top Google result for that search by default.

However, by modifying the preference called keyword.URL, you can change this behavior. Here are a few example values:

http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" (default pre-Firefox 2.0)

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

Google "Browse by Name" (Automatically takes you to sites with a clear match, else performs a Google search) (default in Firefox 2)

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

Google Search (Google search results page)

If the keyword.URL search is disabled, Firefox may still attempt a simpler lookup, by concatenating a prefix and suffix on the supplied domain name. This action may be enabled or disabled using the browser.fixup.alternate.enabled setting in about:config. The prefix and suffix used can be set using browser.fixup.alternate.prefix and ...suffix.

For more advanced search capabilities, you may want to look into using keyword searches and the Search Bar.

You can default the search to 'I'm feeling lucky' by adding

&btnI=745

to the url for the search.

So in Firefox, go to about:config and change the value for keyword.URL from

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

to

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&btnI=745&q=

Update: Apparently the change above is for keyword search, not for the search bar in the upper right. For that to change, you have to change the google.xml file located in

<yourFirefoxInstallFolder>\searchplugins

and add a rule

<Param name="btnI" value="745"/>

so the whole file looks like this:

How to Edit the Grub Menu in Ubuntu

Ubuntu Linux installs a menu giving users a choice of which operating system to boot. Typically, the choice is between Microsoft Windows or Ubuntu. GRUB (Grand Unified Boot-loader) drives this menu. The menu displays for 10 seconds. If no choice is selected, Grub starts the first (default) O/S.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Boot Ubuntu, login as a user and start a terminal session.

2. Step 2

   Make a copy of the GRUB menu file as a backup by entering "cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_BU." Use this file to restore menu.lst if the changes fail.

3. Step 3

   Edit the menu using the command "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst."

4. Step 4

   Count the number of possible operating system choices. For example, when first installed Ubuntu will be the first O/S in the file. Lower down in the file will be Windows XP. Count other operating systems, if installed.

5. Step 5

   Find the line "default = 0." Grub sets the default to boot the O/S located as the first (0 relative) in the file menu.lst.

6. Step 6

   Change the line "default = 0" to "default = 1." Save the file and exit. This changes the default from Ubuntu to Windows XP. Ubuntu appears first in the file and first on the menu display. Windows XP is further down in the file and appears below Ubuntu on the menu display.

7. Step 7

   Restart the PC. Let the GRUB menu take the default to verify the change . The default is now set to 1 which means Windows will boot when no choice is made.

Tips & Warnings

• Changing the wording displayed for boot choices on the menu can be done while editing the menu.lst file.
• To restore the backup file, boot with a CD based Linux disk. Mount the PC based Ubuntu for updating. Replace the menu.lst with the backup by renaming the files. Dismount the disks, remove the CD based Ubuntu and try to reboot the PC.

Use the same GTK theme for applications started as root

September 1st, 2009 by T4L

If you start a GTK GUI with root permissions and you notice that it uses the old GTK theme, you can make all applications started as root to use your current theme by doing this:

sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root/.themes
sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root/.icons
sudo ln -s ~/.fonts /root/.fonts

This will basically create symlinks to your icons, fonts and themes directories that draw your current GTK theme.
