Has anyone ever experienced needing to change a search query on say the google mobile webpage and having the keyboard (swiftkey) minimise when you need to scroll right (if the search query is too long)? Is there a way to stop this behaviour for the keyboard?

Sorry if this has been answered, but I did some searches and couldn't find any answers.
Basically, I just moved from the Droid to the DI, and am loving it so far. Sense has really surpassed my expectations (especially after root) - however, there are some frustrating quirks i've noticed.
The biggest one occurs in web browsing. If I tap the address bar, it only automatically selects the page's url after http:/, meaning that I can't search a term without deleting the http, and then typing in my search phrase. I poked around in settings but couldn't find a preference for selecting all text in the address bar.
Has anyone found a way around this? Thanks!
When you tap the address bar, tap the search (magnifying glass) that will delete everything in the box so you can type your search string.
You can just tap the search from anywhere to bring up the search function...that's not part of the browser.
Thanks for the tip. Small thing, but just part of adjusting to the new phone. Loving it!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is part of the browser. If you look the searched items in the browser will be different from the searched items when you just press the magnifying glass without being in the browser.
I am running MikZ 1.16 and have noticed that, when I press the hardware search button, "Search Everywhere" comes up instead of "Google Search." I was wondering if there's a way to change the default to "Google Search." I have looked everywhere for the solution, but have come up empty-handed. I greatly appreciate any suggestions
The only way I know to do this is to click the search buttom-menu-search settings-searchable items and uncheck everything but web. Of course the downside to this is that from now on you will only be able to search the web when using the hardware key, but thats only true if you are not in an app.
Thank you for the tip! I have already done that step. While it does alleviate some of what I don't like about "Search Anywhere," it's not the solution that I seek. HTC's search is clunky and visually annoying when it repeats what I type over and over below the search box. I should clarify that I want the hardware button to open the default "Google Search" app, completely bypassing "Search Anywhere."
I came from webOS and am search and go addict ("just type" is amazing). I don't use a launcher or really any app shortcuts so when I want to launch something I hit the search button and they start typing.
Problem is the results appear to be limited to show only 2 for each search type (2 contacts, 2 apps, etc).
Does anyone know how to increase this? It is not in settings.
bump. Anybody?
I'm interested in increasing the number of recently accessed results when hitting the search button. It only shows 2 per type.
I am having a problem with the quick search and kindle fires pop up keyboard. If you use the quick search within a forum the keyboard pops up then disappears. This is using the stock kindle Kb and Swype. And dolphin HD and silk as well.
The only way to search and have the keyboard stay up is to go into advanced search. Then both keyboards work fine.
Just wondering if it might be a glitch in the web coding.
When I say quick search I mean clicking the search button within a forum typing in the search field that pops up immediately.
Does it the same way in search this thread too.
BTW, I just checked it out on my droidx and it behaves the same with Swype and also the multi touch keyboard.
Not sure if I was clear in my first post.
I am talking about searches on THIS forum. XDA-Developers.com
I am not talking about searches in general.
I am talking about the specific problem happening on this forum!!
Are you referring to the Contextual Search "pop-up"?
That probably was never intended for mobile use but you can easily turn that off in your User CP > Edit Options or this URL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
and uncheck "Enable Contextual Search"
Thanks for the reply. No I am not referring to the contextual search. That it's already disabled in my cp.
If you look right above the first post in this thread there is a "search this thread" button on the right. If I click that, a search box comes up right below the button. It is in that box that I am having the problem. Same for the "search this forum" button on the forum index.
The only way to search is to then go into advanced search. Then the keyboard will stay up so I can type.
Btw, thanks again. I realized I may not have been real clear in my first post.
Ok here goes,
I have the keyboard set so I have the buttons configured below
clipboard , ? Spacebar return
Now if I go in the browser it changes
Cog / spacebar . .com go
Now I understand that there probably more relevant than my setup but I want my setup, does anyone know how to change this or hack it, it's driving me mental as when I use the browser keyboard my searches look like this how.many.apples.are.in.a.bunch as the space bar is smaller and I keep hitting the . button #annoying
Any help welcome
im having the same problem, it seems it is normal(?)
