How do I change the search engine in Safari?

Hi y'all,
How do I change the search engine used in the "search" slot in the menu bar? I still want it to use google, but would like to change it to the danish version.
Kind regards

Hi
Easiest way to change the search is to install 3rd party freeware Inquisitor. After installing it, restart Safari. Go to Safari Preferences. Click on the arrow at the far end of the menu panel. You'll see an hour-glass icon. Click on it to open the Inquisitor panel. Click on the search engine drop-down menu and select your preferred search engine.

    How can I change the Search engine?
    I want to use google instead of Genieo. Everytime I open Safari it automatically redirect to Genieo and it really ******* me off! >_<

    Back up all data, then remove the "Genieo" spyware by following the instructions on this page.
    Some versions of the spyware may not be completely removed by those instructions. If you still have problems, do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    Right-click or control-click the line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    Then reboot.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extension you don't recognize. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How do you change the search engine used in the address bar?

    I use the address bar to search, instead of the actual search bar field. Why? It's easier. Or, it used to be. It used to use Google. Now it's using Yahoo!. This is unacceptable. Haha. How do I change which search engine is used in the ADDRESS bar?

    had this problem after accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar along with an adobe product. Firstly, tried to remove it control panel in add/remove programmes but it refused to uninstal. Since then was told by technicians of my ip to use Revo uninstaller the free ed. Next step was go to tools then options. On the general tab, at the bottom you will find manage-add-ons. under search provider do not want. f yahoo is still there disable it.
    Also go to internet options in control panel and set up there too. Be sure to find and tick the option that other search engines cannot change yours. Be sure to set the appropriate home page.

  • How do i change the search engine?

    i just wanna know how to change the search engine

    Do you mean the search engine that is used in the location bar?
    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
    * Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    * Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/keyword.URL
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search
    If you mean the search bar on the default about:home Home page then that can't be changed other than setting another page as the home page like http://www.google.com
    For the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar see:

  • How can I change the search engine in the new tab page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I get the new tab page, which displays the previous sites I visit the most. No problem. But in the search window, if I do a search it uses Yahoo. I don't like Yahoo. I would like to change to another search engine, you know, one that's more obscure such as Google. Can anyone help me?

    Look at the search bar. Do you see the icon of the current search engine?
    Click the arrow next to the icon. you should now see a list of your search
    engines. At the bottom, select '''Manage Search Engines.''' Now a window
    will open of all your engines. Select the one you want as your default. On
    the right of the list you will see a set of up/down arrows. Click the up arrow
    until the engine you want is at the top of the list. Then press '''Okay.'''
    Once the window is closed, your choice should now be displayed in the
    search bar.

  • How do I change the search engine that displays when opening a new tab-Bing comes up and I want Google.

    I'm using Firefox 15 on a Mac and there don't seem to be any extensions affecting this. Thanks!

    Is that about searching via the build-in the about:home page?
    Reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    #Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
    #Type in the Filter bar: mstone
    #Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
    #Close and restart Firefox
    If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

  • How to get rid of Yahoo which has replaced itself as the search engine on safari . I have tried going to safari and changing the default search engine to google and the homepage to no avail can anyone PLEASE help

    After updating Firefox . I notice Yahoo has taken over as the search engine on safari . I have gone into safari and changed the default browser and home page to google but yahoo is still there . Can someone Please tell me how to get rid of Yahoo . peter

    Since I looked everywhere for this answer and never found it I decided I needed to help!
    1. GO TO THE TOOL BAR WHERE IT SAYS SAFARI AND CLICK TO BRING DOWN THE MENU OF OPTIONS, CLICK ON PREFERENCES
    2.INSTEAD OF JUST CLICKING ON THE GENERAL TAB AND CHANGING THE SEARCH ENGINE LIKE EVERY OTHER STUPID SUPPORT TELLS YOU TO DO LOOK AT THE TAB THAT SAYS EXTENSIONS.
    3. Chances are you downloaded something that was made by a third party to "enhance" your web experience but really they just screwed you over, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SIMPLY UNINSTALL ANY EXTENSIONS PUT ON YOUR COMPUTER BY CLICKING INSTALL, BUT TO BE SURE THAT THIS IS THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM IN THE SECOND COLUMN SIMPLY CLICK ON THE UNDERLINED NAME OF WHO THE EXTENSION IS MADE BY IF CLICKING THE LINK BRINGS UP A YAHOO PAGE THIS IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR ISSUES AND SIMPLY UNINSTALLING THIS WILL RID YOU OF THIS  DUMB PROBLEM!!
    HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

  • How do I change Default search engine in the address bar, not the search window on the top right or by using about:config, doesn't work. Worked fine until this FF 8.0 update, now defaults to Yahoo 7. About to throw it in and use Chrome.

    When Firefox 8.0 installed it has automatically changed my address bar default search engine to Yahoo7 which is crap. I can not change this back. So when I start FF it opens to my google home page, when I type a subject and search the results are displayed in a Yahoo 7 results page, not google. I am not talking about my default home page or the search bar to the top right. This is still google.
    The settings in about:config do nothing.
    This was fine until FF 8.0.

    Thanks dmcritchie,
    Nice effort but that answers a different question about fixing the add-on Yahoo toolbar.
    Pernich and I want to know; If you type search criteria directly into the address bar and hit enter, how to change that search engine from Yahoo to Google.
    Otherwise I too will go back to using Google Chrome, even though I really like FF8.0
    please help

  • I cannot change the search engine to google from yahoo

    I have read and tried several suggestions on how to change my search engine to google and it will not change to google. I have deleted anything yahoo from my computer, I did the troubleshoot suggestions, I used malawarebytes, and microsoft essentials. Additionally, I deleted the spigot/youtube downloader and toolbar, that includes the add-ons, ms config, the registry, and in my programs. Does anyone know, outside what has already been mentioned what I can do to change the yahoo search engine to google. I would like to add, I still have the same issue in safe mode.

    3. Type '''browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID''' in search bar
    4. right click on it and click reset.
    5. Type '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''' in search bar
    6. Right click on it and click rest.

  • How do I get the search engine to appear in my toolbar?

    My toolbar has always had an address line AND a search engine area to the right of it.  Yesterday, the search engine disappeared and I can't figure out how to get it back.  Any suggestions?

    Safari 6 combines the address line and search engine.
