Safari Google search engine in different language

Hi,
Whenever I try to search on goole through the Safari google search engine bar it redirects me to "www.google.cn" and everything is in a different language. I tried going to the google settings and changing the language, but when i do it doesn't seem to change. It just stays the same
HELP

Did you buy your iPhone in China?
There are a few other threads on the forum saying the same thing, see this one -> How to change google search region?
It ilooks like a regional thing that Apple most likely had no choice about, if they wanted to sell the iPhone in China.

  • Safari google search engine suggestions aren't working.

    I have gone through the Safari app, everything that needs to be turned on is on.  Including 'search engine suggestions', 'preload top hit', and 'spotlight suggestions'.  I have tried many things to fix the problem.  Restart phone.  Turn off all suggestions, restart phone.  Turn everything back on, restart phone. I have even done a complete reset.  NOTHING is working.
    I have another iphone 6 and it is working on that phone.  Additionally, if I start searching something on the other phone that works, I see different things pop up, like map suggestions, all search engine suggestions, and prior websites with the words I'm typing.  None of this shows up on my iphone. 

    Exact same problem on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0.  Hasn't worked since I activated the phone last week.  Played with all previously mentioned settings.  Changing search engine doesn't help either.  Reset network settings...no good.
    Interestingly, it doesn't work on my iPhone 5 with iOS 8.0 either.  However, it does work on my iPad Mini on iOS 8.0 - same WiFi network.
    Not much of a pattern here.  Probably just need to wait for an update release.

  • Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.

    This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

    I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
    I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

  • Why does firefox 4 freeze on the 1st result page of google search engine

    I updated to Firefox 4 yesterday and now every time I use the google search engine my screen freezes on the first results page and will not allow me to click on any of the links on it, saying that it is not responding before eventually the screen goes white.
    I tried to find a solution on the Firefox Support page but the only solution relates to McAfee Site Advisor. As I do not have this installed and never have I was wondering if it would be possible for you to tell me how do I fix it?
    Thank you.

    Hi, i had the same problem, and I also use Bullguard, I contacted them, just received answer, (in about 20 min). It is incompatibility of FF4 and bullguard (they know about it, and fix will be released soon), and probably most of the other antiviruses, as I see this is very popular problem. The solution though is very simple : in firefox disable addon "Bullguard Safe Browsing". It works. Or alternatively open bullguard go : antivirus - settings - safe browsing (unchek that). For those not using bullguard i would recommend to check their addons in FF and if there is any from your antivirus try to disable it for now.

  • Google search engine no longer works after upgrading to Firefox 11

    I just upgraded to Firefox 11 earlier this evening. Now I'm trying to do a search with Google. I got the search results and clicked on what I wanted only to get taken to the Google home page with a new Google search engine entry box. There was a google sign-in thing but I shouldn't have to sign in just to do a search. I switched to yahoo search and got the info I wanted then switched back to google to try to figure out what on earth is going on. Now when I click on the item in the results that I want the tab at the top sort of blinks for an instant that says connecting then stops and stays on the results page. If I right-click on the item and select open in a new tab (or new page), I can go to that page, but I shouldn't have to always right click to go to a new tab or new page. It was never that way before I got to Firefox 11. Can this be fixed or do I have to just abandon google?

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Also, I think the Ask toolbar (add-on) has been reported to create problems with the links in Google search results. You could try disabling it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    A search also turned up an issue with the HTTPS Everywhere add-on: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/867796 Google links redirect to Google homepage, not the link itself! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

    Can you clarify where you need to make this change?
    Which searches aren't working for you?
    *searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
    *search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
    *search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)

  • I want the google search engine when a new tab is selected but I'm getting the yahoo search engine instead

    I click on the add tab button and the yahoo search engine comes up as the home page. This should be the google search engine, as it is when I first open Firefox.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).<br />
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • Hi, how can i return back safari default search engine?

    How can I return back safari default search engine? It has been changed after trying to download adobe flash player.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • I have installed bearshare and now when I open firefox, my homepage disappears and the my google search engine is now bearshare which I don't want.

    I installed bearshare as my program for downloading music, but after installation, my homepage has disappeared and my google search engine has changed to bear share.
    I want google as my default search engine.

    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.<br><br>
    * In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    * In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    * Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=<br>
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>
    After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
    ''''''EDIT'''''': After you complete the above steps, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove the Bearshare Media Bar. It may be called "BMB".
