I read on this forum that it causes more problems than it solves but that may be one participant's opinion (though I seem to recall he had a level of expertise).Īs for using google, I don't use it all that much for commerce, mostly research. I thought I had tossed it but like a bad penny. Cleanup my pc seems to have been inadvertently downloaded in the last few months. Also what would you do for a manual cleanup and what software is best. What would you recommend as back-up when I change? (Would Apple do? Most of my work is being saved to the cloud by default now). I've been using Backup my PC (I will need to change to another backup since it doesn't support 64 bit encryption I just read.) I just upgraded to High Sierra last week but not being able to switch back to Google search engine issue predates that upgrade and continues after. The question is how to change it in Safari. Obviously Chrome will let me use Google as a search engine. Yes my other browser is Chrome (Version 12.0.1). Mac OS Version 12.0.1 (I can go no further with this iMac.)
It's the same with V12.0.1 of Safari, which I did download from the AppStore. You can just choose any of those, and your default search engine will change immediately to that choice. When you click on that arrow, it shows you a list of 4 Search Engine choices: Google, Yahoo, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.
Selecting Preferences from the menu under the Safari heading (the one just to the right of the black Apple icon in the menu bar), and selecting Search, the first choice on that screen is "Search engine", along with an Up-Down Blue arrow to the right.
I am running OS 10.13.6 (latest version of High Sierra), and initially had V11.0.2 of Safari. Update: As I mentioned, I use Google Chrome, and in fact rarely, if ever, use Safari. It is the fastest of all the browsers available for Macs.
I use Google Chrome, and never have issues. What Mac OS are you running? If you are running Sierra or High Sierra, the newest (and recently released) version of Safari is V12.0.1.Īlso, do you have this issue with other browsers, like Firefox or Opera (I suspect Google Chrome already has Google as its default search engine).
