Apple Announces Safari 4

Safari saves passwords in the keychain, so you can access them with the Keychain Access application.
Like the improvements very much, but a colleague noted that Microsoft Hotmail doesn't seem to work in this version. The inbox opens, but it's impossible to open any e-mails. Weird
I have the same problem. I reported it to Apple via the report a bug feature. Please do the same!
I love Safari 4 except for three small (oh so small) things:
- Search shortcuts (see below)
- Ability to hit enter to follow a result when using Command-F (in FF, if I search the page for "Dog", and the first result it selected was a link, hitting enter would follow the link; Safari 3/4 just goes to the next result).
- Ability to restore crashed sessions (right now I can only restore sessions that have quit gracefully)
I'm sure those first two could be programmed in quite easily.
For those who don't know what search shortcuts are: in Firefox/Camino I can create a special "shortcut" bookmark that lets me type special shortcuts in the address bar. Examples would be typing "wiki Dog" to go straight to wikipedia page for dog, or "imdb Dark Knight" to go straight to the search results for Dark Knight on IMdb.

remove Recent Search?
Ok so i downloaded Safari 4. And so far i think it is fast and looks great. BUT, where can i clear my recent search? WITHOUT deleting my history.
For example i don't mind seeing what my history is... BUT i don't like to type "m" on the top right hand and i get "recent searched-marry, marijuana, monitor, etc.."
I don't mind giving me suggestions, BUT i don't like for it to show me my recent search. The ONLY way i have been able to do it is to clear my history, which i don't want to do. It's like everything i search is not being displaced on recent search.
Anyone know how to remove this? If the past safari's or in mozilla, you can in the preferences uncheck that thing that says, remember searched items or pre fill recent searched.. something like that.
Can anyone answer that?

me wrong?
you think safari with IE6 UA would render the activex website the IE way? or render sites with IE only tags in js codes the IE way?
erroneous? do you even know what you are talking about?

Using Vista SP1 Windows version of Safari 4
Please actually read this thread. Links to the instructions have been posted a half-dozen times already.
I don't know what it looks like or how it performs on XP, but on Vista and 7, Safari 4 is quite acceptable, in terms of both appearance and performance.I'm at work, so just tried it on XP and it's pretty slow on old hardware (worse than Firefox 3).
The gayest thing they seem to have done is stuck the tab bar into the Windows title bar
Not just hard to get at, it is almost impossible to see, especially if you don't have all the resource-hogging Windows's theme junk enabled.
Why even bother with a Windows version of Safari?
I will be trying it later on my Hackintosh and am sure will be more excited and less peeved.
Why am I not able to modify these settings? I have done this so many times in terminal to get the tabs in S3 style, and other tweaks. Restarted Safari. But the tab bar stays put. I have both webkit also, and I have restarted many time both without any avail. I have some plugins like SafariStand, iPassword, etc. Could that be problem?
That's because "Top Sites" isn't a web page. It's a view option.I don't have a top sites bookmark
I'm frustrated because I want to use Safari, but it is missing a few particular features that I can't live without. Firefox 3.2b has them; i am thinking, in particular:
greater multi-touch support (three finger swipe up or down to go to top or bottom of page, respectively).
when i close the browser, or quit, i like it when the previously opened tabs reappear in the new window. great for unexpected quits, restarts due to software updates, et cetera.
links will ALWAYS open in a new tab, never a new window. i know, it's possible by holding the command key, but i prefer not.
more to come, these are just my first thoughts. or hopefully someone can prove me wrong and say safari 4 IS capable of these.
