Hi,
I have been going crazy trying to get search results to display in the address bar in the IE10 Modern UI on my Surface RT.
In the desktop mode this works as expected - as I type a search term in the address bar it gives me google suggestions, as well as results from within my favourites and recently visited sites. The add-on is configured to put search results in the address bar.
However, when using IE10 in Modern mode it only gives me search results for favourites and recently visited - it won't give me search suggestions.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have tried uninstall/reinstall of IE, I have removed and re-added the add-ons (I've tried for both Bing and Google - neither work). I have also done a 'refresh my PC,' but to no avail.
Thanks for your help,
aeloen
I think it don't have search suggestions on Modern UI IE. If you want it that much maybe you need to set homepage to Bing or Google. And set "new tab page" to homepage too.
Do look into all the options under the Settings charm in Modern IE, just to be sure, I guess... but personally, I only use the desktop mode. The other is simply too crippled, feature-wise.

Okay, aeloen. Now I find a way to get "search suggestions" on IE10 Modern mode. If you want suggestions. You won't type in address bar. But you need to type in search box. By press search button on keyboard or Windows+Q. This way will get you search suggestions as you type.
Hope this help.

So I have been wondering, how do you avoid being forwarded to 'mobile' versions of websites on android OS? I am using a N1 and its quite annoying since the mobile versions usually have limited functionality.
sorry if this is in the wrong section or has been asked before, I couldnt find anything via google/etc, all search criteria just returns so much useless junk i couldnt sort through it all or narrow it down
The easy answer is to use Dolphin browser and set the use agent to desktop in the settings. The harder version from mobilecruch:
First up, open up your browser. Now, type “about:debug” (without the quotes, silly) and hit go. Click “Settings”, and scroll on down to the bottom to reveal the dastardly tricky “UAString”.
This is where the plan gets really cunning: you now change your user agent string — the bit of info that tells a website what type of device you are running — to “Desktop”.
u can change the setting thru ur stock browser. If it's not listed in settings of internet browser already which i assume it's not or u would've seen it, then type "about:config" in the address window and then hit "menu" hardkey and go to settings and it should show a debug section at the bottom that allows u to change the "UserString."
Hi,
Whenever I visit google.com on my Omnia 7 it defaults to the mobile version even though I've selected Desktop Version in the settings. I have to click "Classic" on google's website to get the desktop version which still isn't the real desktop version because it is lacking the filtering bar on the left side.
Is it possible to get the full desktop version on wp7?
I have the same problem on my Mozart running Mango RTM. Also when searching with google and going to a link it seems as if I am using google a a proxy as I visit the site through Google.
If I set it to classic its fine. I really wish there was an Opera mobile for phone7
I had that problem, but when I upgraded my Omnia 7 to Mango RTM it stopped..
If you open Internet Explorer, click the three dots, click settings you'll see an option that says "Website Preference." Change that to desktop version and this should fix your issue. However, all sites will turn into their full site, instead of their mobile.
You may need to re-click the "Classic" button on Google for it to change.

It's already on desktop version. It gives me Google's mobile site and I have to click classic which gives me the desktop version but without the sidebar options for search filtering. I was looking for the one with the sidebar.
Bump! I think simple cookie expiration date override may help, does anyone have a clue how to implement one?
Well I am using two different browsers right now, the stock honeycomb browser and opera mobile. Opera does seem a bit quicker, but i havent figured out how to disable the mobile mode when doing any search, so thats a bit annoying and i prefer tabs to the method they use for multiple open pages.
Anyway, i was wondering how i can setup a specific site to use mobile or desktop or tablet mode. I only see a master option. Is it possible to do this?

would love this feature too
The newest version of the stock browser in Prime! v1.9 has an option for "Website settings", allowing advanced settings for individual websites. However, there is no way to manually add new websites to the list, nor is there a way to view or change the settings for websites that do populate the list, and so far I've only seen Google-specific services like Gmail getting their own individual entries.
Sleipnir browser may be what you are looking for

It appears that the Sleipnir browser has this capability to set user strings per the actual website. I just downloaded it today to give it a try. I have been trying to find a way to create custom user strings (spoofing??) to truly force the desktop environment, I have been selecting the included "desktop" settings on both the stock browser and Dolphin for Pad browsers and it works ok for some sites, but others it doesn't work worth a crap. I have also been STFA to find the actual text/scripts for adding into the stock and Dolphin browsers under their "custom user agent string" settings. Trying to find the user agent strings that I can copy or type in and implement, has not been very fruitful so far (If anyone knows where I can find the information it would be appreciated)
Since I just downloaded the Sleipnir browser today I can't offer any feedback but it may be worth a try.

Google is Google for people like me... and Microsoft acting like the bully it is does not provide by default an option to search google.com... it has also made it quite difficult to add this addon and run it normally so here we go...
In short: extract and add attached entry to your registry editor by simply double clicking it and check "search from address bar" under search providers in the ie10 desktop versions addon menu
Long:
1. Download the attached reg file and extract its contents to your surface... double click to run it. Accept all warnings and it should add an entry to the registry editor.
2. Go to your metro style internet explorer and find a small tool icon beside the address bar (appears after a page has fully loaded), hit it and select "view on the desktop"
3. If your desktop version of internet explorer has opened, on the right top there will be a tool icon, select it and click "manage addons"
4. Go to "search providers" entry and select google. It will say "not available" etc but disregard it and look for a checkbox called "search in the address bar" - check it. + don't forget to select Bing and click the "remove" button that will appear on the bottom right of the window.
Click apply/close...
Now whenever on ie, Google will remain your light to the web!
Enjoy!
Microsoft acting like bully?
I'd rather stay away from the ad-shoving company that does not respect your privacy. Which is the whole purpose of making Chrome (no third party cookies have ever been blocked) unlike Safari (blocks all), FF (most), IE10 (most third party including default Do Not Track D.N.T header)
HOWEVER..
back on the topic, its always good to have choices.. depending on one's preference

i was able to add google as the default search on my RT no problem. just changed the default search provider in desktop IE and it applied to Metro IE as well. absolutely no need for registry edits.
settings --> add ons --> search providers --> add more search providers --> download google and set as default. easy as can be
Thanks bro... Really hate using bing...
cheers buddy
Or hell, just visit google.com and use their "add this search provider" link (plus click the "make this provider the default" box) and you're good.
Alternatively, open IE10 on the desktop, click the little down-arrow next to the search icon (magnifying glass) in the address bar, and select "Add" (alternate way to get to the same UI as described above).
This has been possible, with only minor UI changes, on all versions of IE since at least 7 (I have repressed all memory of using IE6).
I've searched around and haven't been able to find much info on this. I'm running CM 10.1.2. The default AOSP android keyboard will not show suggestions (or next-word suggestions) when I type. Both options are enabled in the settings. Is this a known issue? I wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas before I downgrade to test CM 10.0. Thanks.

You could always install the Google Keyboard from the Play Store.

I should have mentioned I already tried that too. Same thing happens.
Solved
Well, my impatience led me to expand my search from XDA to Google. I found a couple sites which helped me figure out what was going on. Apparently, the suggestion bar does not show up in certain areas you type in, such as Google Now, the browser address bar, and others. But, when composing a text message, in the body of an email, a Facebook status update, and others, the suggestion bar pops right up. Apparently, this behavior is intentional (not sure why...I think it would be useful in those fields too).
I was using the Swype keyboard on my old phone before I got my Skyrocket, and was used to how that worked. Also, as stated in my OP, even though I had "next-word suggestions" checked in the keyboard options, that was not working, even in texts, emails, etc. I was about to cave and pay $0.99 for Swype, but thought to download the Google Keyboard from Google Play again. The "next-word suggestions" / prediction does indeed work when you are typing in a field that gives you the suggestion bar. So, if you have noticed that in your CM 10.1.2 ROM that you are not getting the next-word suggestions with the default Android keyboard (AOSP), download Google Keyboard from the Google Play store, and you should be good to go.
It's a very old thread... But the question it's:
It's again valid at today? I have the same exact issue/trouble. No more suggestion in some parts when i use chrome or other browser and it's very strange because if i use browser to navigate facebook site during post a comment the suggestion it's appears but when i select, for example, the address bar the suggestion bar it's ever clear and completely empty....
How i can this issue?
