zibi1981 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Every time I type an URL into address bar and press [Enter], I'm not directly taken to the desired web page, but to a result of a Google search query. For example when I type www.interia.pl, I got this. If I turn off "web shortcuts", I'm not able to use a shortcut to Google, and I have to type whole URLs, along with "http://". How to make Konqueror work similar to Opera, where simply typing www.interia.pl or similar takes me to the desired web page?

spinynorman Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 It looks as if you've used the Search box, which is usually to the right of the Location box... Have you lost the Location box somehow? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 No, I have both of them, the search box along with addres bar, one beside another. The funny thing is both of them work the same way. I even don't have to type "gg:" in the location box to get directed to Google search query.

spinynorman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 You could try this: Go into Settings - Configure Toolbars - select the Location Toolbar. You should have the following current actions: Clear Location Bar - Location: - Location Bar - Go. If yours are different, make them the same. If they're already the same, I suggest you remove the Location bar from current actions, and apply the change. Then reinstate Location Bar in current actions and apply again. Perhaps that will help... :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi again spinynorman :) My Location Toolbar looks precisely, as You described. In Settings - Configure Toolbars - Location Toolbar I have four items. I removed the Location Bar and then add it again, as You suggested, but that didn't help :unsure: There's another funny thing - in Settings - Configure Toolbars - Location Toolbar I don't see a Search Toolbar, which I obviously have one the right side of the bar... P.S. Another fast question. If You're login in to Your e-mail account, do You have to type Your password twice in Konqueror? I do. How to change that?

spinynorman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 See this page on Automatic Text Completion from the Konqueror manual. Try some different settings. What sort of email account are you accessing through Konqueror? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) When it comes to text completion, all is working fine. I use a Dropdown List. So if I type i.e. www.int(...), I got several suggestions, and If I chose one, it takes me do the right web page. But my problem lies elsewhere, because I'm not taken to www.interia.pl i.e. when I type so in the Location Bar. I had to type the whole URL (http://www.interia.pl/), and when I don't, I'm directed to Google search query... P.S. I was writing about my hotmail account.

spinynorman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 When it comes to text completion, all is working fine. I use a Dropdown List. Try using the Automatic setting to see if that applies the http prefix... If hotmail is the only place you're prompted twice, it may be a feature of hotmail. I don't use it - perhaps someone else has had this problem. :unsure: Edit: If the second hotmail prompt appears on a different page from the first, that suggests that you don't have cookies enabled.

spinynorman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Now I'm home, I've checked my settings: Dropdown List & Automatic. Give it a try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I will, as soon as I'll be back home :P For now I can tell that the "Automatic" setting alone didn't help me with this problem. Is there a possibilty to check both, Dropdown List & Automatic? :huh: P.S. When it comes to my hotmail account, after I type my password and press [Enter] the page refreshes, and then I see the same page with an error message, that my username or password is invalid. When I retype my password and press [Enter] again, I can log in. I checked this many times, so I'm sure it's not that I'm typing invalid password...

spinynorman Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Is there a possibilty to check both, Dropdown List & Automatic? :huh: Yes. As to the hotmail problem - does this happen with Firefox or other browsers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 As to the hotmail problem - does this happen with Firefox or other browsers? As far as I remember it only happens with Konqueror. I also use Opera, which is my favourite browser, but not Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Am I missing something here???. Doesn't a web address correctly start with http:// as in http://www.thediscshop.com.au ???. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) It does John, but Opera i.e. fills http:// automatically for me. Konqueror doesn't, and that's the problem. In Opera I would have to type just www.thediscshop.com.au and then press [Enter], to get directed to the web page. In Konqueror I have to type the whole address, because if I don't include http://, I will see Google search query on "www.thediscshop.com.au".
