I suspect you have installed adware/malware. Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

FWIW…

You don't have to pay for it. You only pay for user features that are optional
It's written by a long time contributor and is the most trusted utility of its type here on ASC.
You can always do a search for "Yahoo redirect" and remove it according to the instructions.

This is software you must pay for. I am having the same issue. Literally go to Google.com and type my query into the web page and when I click search it gives me my results in yahoo. When I look at the preference everything reads google, and I even deleted yahoo from the list.

Is there anything else I can do other than download this non-apple software?
