  • Apple has Safari but is there an alternative Apple search engine to Google

    Apple has Safari as the browser, but does Apple have a search engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, etc.?

  • Safari will not allow connection to your site and this is the only search engine on my Ipad

    Could you please advise how I can download your Firefox search engine. I am not able to use anything other than Safari which is the pre-installed Apple search engine on my IPad.

    Please read the follow thread, Apple does not allow Firefox to be installed in iPad.

  • Search Engine Maybe APPLE?

    These little known facts about Google can hurt Apple i think.
    1.Google is one of the most powerful companies a multimillion dollar empire to say the least could one day supreme leaders.
    2. Googles homepage loads the fastest out of any search engine,I will agree but does it sound like to me a Challenge I think so???
    3.Google has 2 million searches in a second, why couldn't apple beat that by doubling that?
    4. Google owns Youtube, android where as apple well they hold their self so why shouldn't they create a video page such as like youtube?
         My point being Google is great and all I use it as my search engine because its plain jane but what I don't understand is why apple hasn't created a Search Engine 10x better then google because in my eyes nothing beats an APPLE? Apple a day keeps the doctor away they say well I believe that when I don't have to buy Norton security or any of that bull crap, once again why don't Apple create a virus protected Search Engine yeah I know nothing is perfect but a safe search engine would be awesome for them sorry microsoft users lol. Apple you should create a Search Engine Be the number one You are.
    Stay Reliable Search Engine
    Be a Safe Search Engine
    A fast Search Engine
    Fun Search Engine
    Last be an APPLE Search Engine

    This is not the place to discuss what Apple should do.

  • Why won't Apple let me set duckduckgo as my default search engine for safari?

    I am using a iPad Mini and Safari only lists three options for a default search engine (google, bing, yahoo), all of which lack privacy. I would like to set my default to duckduckgo and would prefer not to modify my iPad illegally or use secondary apps (duckduckgo app). Why won't Apple just let me modify my default search engine manually? I quite enjoy Safari and don't like wasting space with other browsers on my iPad.

    No browser can insure privacy.
    The options Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Period.

  • I have a Mac notebook and it says it's connected to wifi, but when I try to connect to any search engine it does not.  What is causing it to not actually connect.  My pc connects no problem.

    It seems that all apple products used in my house at times will not connect to our wifi.  It's hit and miss.  It says I am connected, but when you try to connect to any search engine it does not.  I have disconnected and reconnected the power to the dsl provider and to our wifi units.  I have rebooted the computers.  I have reentered the password.  Still no connection.   We do not have connectivity issues with our PC products.  Anyone have any answers for me?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

    Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
    Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
    Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

    You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
    Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
    If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

  • I use Safari in my imac with Google as my search engine. Recently, Bing took over. Extensions shows Google as default search engine, but Bing is what is working. How do I get rid of Bing, go back to Google?

    I use Safari in my imac with Google as my search engine. Recently, Bing took over. Extensions still shows Google as default search engine. Search starts as Google but switches to Bing. How do I get rid of Bing, go back to Google?

    Hey ravenbird1,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to use a specific search engine.

    To set the default search engine, choose Safari > Preferences, then click General.
    If you are having problems with extensions you can uninstall and reinstall the extension.

  • TS1398 my sons ipad 1 is not loading videos when he goes on to youtube through   his search engine (hes not on safari as he is on a parental restriction search engine) but has been able to for the last 12 months until the other day.

    My son has an ipad 1 and goes on to you tube through his search engine (which is not safari as i have put a parental restriction search engine on there for him) and up until a few days ago was working fine. now when ever he goes into youtube the video selections come up but when he presses a video to watch it doesn't load (comes up with the loading icon). However i wanted to see if this was a youtube problem so I unrestricted his youtube app and tried to get into youtube that way and it worked and the videos loaded. Does anybody know why it wouldn't work through his search engine now after working through it for so long?
    Any help would be great as i dont mind him going on youtube as long as innappropriate content is filtered (which is what his search engine did).
    Thankyou

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I would like to completely purge Yahoo's search engine from my macbook pro lion and all of my browsers (I've been through each of the preferences and the settings tab and it still pops up)

    Yahoo is still popping up as my primary search engine even after going through preferences and setting each for google. Now I'm really not likeing Yahoo who seems to be more like a spammy virus than an option. This happened after I got my Apple computer back from repair and now I am stuck with it-when you right click you can see it as the main option for searches which tells me it's somewhere deep. This only makes me dislike Yahoo even more. Thank you for the help.

  • How do I change my default search engine from Yahoo to Google

    How do I change my default search engine which appears as a free text band at the top of my default Apple website.  I want to change it from Yahoo to Google.

    Safari/Preferences/General.  There is a place there to specify your default search engine.

  • How do I change my default search engine back to google

    my default search engine is ask.com

    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • How to set another search engine in safari?

    hi all
    can anybody tell how to set another search engine than google/yahoo in safari (e.g. Bing)?
    thank you

    At this stage, I don't know of any workarounds (or available plugins) for Safari for Windows 4.0.4 that allow you to put a different search engine option in the search field.
    The workaround I've been using is to pin a Bing window into my Top Sites.
    You can send an enhancement request to Apple about it. Although it doesn't look to be set up for it, if you bring up your Menu Bar and go "Help > Report bugs to Apple", you can use that bug report form to ask for enhancements. I was skeptical about that to begin with, but apparently they check that for feature enhancement requests, according to the following document. (It's mentioned right down the very bottom.)
