How to Change the Search Engine in Safari?

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 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
    -z

    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 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

    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 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:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Search_Bar

  • 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.

    Very Easy no need to install any thing.
    1. In address bar Type in about:config (press enter)
    2. Press enter again to accept I will be careful...
    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.
    close Firefox and restart it. Good to go

  • 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.

  • Changing default search engine in Safari

    Google is the default search engine in Safari on Mac OS X 10.5.2. How can I change it to another search engine?

    I tried installing Acid Search v.62xx. It didn't work so I went back to the web site and it appears that Tiger was the last version it worked on.
    I then did a search for AcidSearch and Leopard and there was a Beta of v.7xx.
    http://www.pozytron.com/files/AcidSearch070b3.zip
    I installed it. The installer said it was successful but it doesn't seem to work. Hopefully it will be out of Beta soon.
    I did install Inquisitor and it seems to be working just fine

  • 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.)

  • Comment fonctionne le moteur de recherche d'applications sur le Store? how's working the search engine of App.Store?

    Bonjour,
    je suis un étudiant documentaliste et je réalise un travail sur l'app store et la recherche des applications.
    Sauriez vous où je pourrais trouver des informations sur le fonctionnement du moteur de recherche du Store et sa manière de classer les applications?
    Sur le theme de la recherche d'applications, je cherche a savoir si des mots-clés sont associés aux applications, et si oui, le sont ils par l'auteur ou par Apple? Ces mots-clés sont ils libres, ou proviennent ils d'une liste prédéfinie? L'idée serait de savoir le lien entre les termes utilisés par les utilisateurs lors de leurs recherches,et ceux utilisés par apple pour classer les applications et determiner si elles correspondent a tel ou tel mot utilisé par l'utilisateur. J'ai deja vu que lorsque l'on faisait une recherche, on avait des propositions de termes de recherche, par exemple.
    Je cherche aussi des informations sur le fonctionnement du moteur de recherche et sur les applications proposées. Y a t'il des criteres, tels que la popularité, le nombre de mise à jour, de téléchargement,l'avis des utilisateurs, etc, qui jouent dans ce qui determine qu'une application est proposée en priorité plutot qu'une autre?
    De manière paralèlle, qu'est ce qui détermine l'ordre des applications proposées dans les catégories, genre finances, productivité, etc? (vu que ce n'est ni le fait que ce soit gratuit-payant, ni par ordre alphabetique)
    I am a student librarian making a dissertation on the ipad. I seek to know how the App Store works when we are researching applications, and how  are sorted the applications in the Store and the differents big categories (financial, well-being, etc)
    That is to say, if keywords are associated with applications available online, and if so, are they chosen by the author of the app, or imposed by Apple? these keywords are they free or do they partient a reference list? (thesauri, authority list, etc.)
          I am also looking for information on the operation of the search engine and proposed applications. are there any criteria such as popularity, rating by users, the number of download and update on the overall quality, etc.? The idea would be to have an overview of what determines which applications are offered in priority and according to what connditions. In sum, the parameters a librarian should take into account to optimize the search for an ideal application for a given need.

  • How to change what search engine the adress bar uses when typing in a search to something that isn't Google

    I currently left all Google services I used, Gmail, Chrome, etc.. because of the recent selling info to the gov and what not and although it may or may not be true I am being safe and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. Anyway so far I like Firefox I am using DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would like to use it as my search engine when I type in a search in the address bar, by default it's Google how do I change it to a search provider I want to like DuckDuckGo?

    Hello,
    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:
    # Type '''about:config''' in the address bar.
    # A warning appears, click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
    # Type '''browser.search.defaultEngine''' in the search box at the top of the page.
    # Double-click the item that appears.
    # Set the value to '''DuckDuckGo''' or whatever search engine that you would like to use (case sensitive I think).
    (I have attached a screenshot).

  • Can you change the search engine in iPad Safari?

    iPad Safari is set to use Google in the upper right search field.
    Can you change to another search engine other than Google like you can in regular Safari on or Macs?

    Yes, and those might be available through some of the alternative browsers available in the App Store. In addition, iOS provides a range of ways you can filter web content there in Settings. I've not played with it but it looks as though you could exert some control that way.

  • 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.
