Title: Stuck on Yahoo
Post by: dplank on September 19, 2016, 08:11:58 PM
Every time I try to look up something by typing in the URL space in Safari the results are displayed in Yahoo instead of Google. I went into Google prefs and indicated the search engine I wanted to use was Google. Didn't change a thing.

How do I get back to having Google be my main search engine?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015

Maybe you should try setting your desired Search Engine in Safari->Prefs->Search->"Search engine:" drop-down menu. smile.gif thumbup.gif

Well, that's where the setting is. Perhaps a Restart will help clear the Safari Prefs.  Thinking.gif  But that shouldn't be required. You may need to also clear Safari's cache.
