Yahoo now default search engine

I have Google as my default search engine. A couple of weeks ago Safari defaulted to Yahoo even though Google was selected as my default. I looked at posts with similar issues and deleted all extensions. That worked . . . for a few weeks. My search engine is once again defaulting to Yahoo even though there are no extensions.


Please help!
