Stuck on Yahoo
« 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?

Version 10.11.6

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015
Processor  2.9 GHz Intel Core i5

Maybe you should try setting your desired Search Engine in Safari->Prefs->Search->"Search engine:" drop-down menu. smile.gif thumbup.gif
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system

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.
