Q: search engine OS 10.11

After OS 10.11 download Yahoo is locked as my search engine even though Google appears as selected in Safari preferences.  I find this very annoying so any help on how to restore Google as the default is appreciated

    Hi JPC317,

     

    Thank you for being a long time member of the Apple Support Communities and for taking the time to post this question! :)

     

    I understand that even with Google selected as your default search engine in Safari > Preferences, Yahoo still appears to be selected as your actual search in a Safari window. To begin troubleshooting, I suggest turning off Safari extensions and removing Internet plug-ins and other add-ons. 

     

    The attached article below will guide you through this process. 

     

    If Safari is slow, stops responding, quits unexpectedly, or has other issues - Apple Support
