Safari is a Web Browser, not a Search Engine. You will still use Safari on your iPhone if you choose a search engine. What Apple did with the new release this years is let you choose which Search Engine Safari engages when you do a search and the options are:
Yahoo
Bing
DuckDuckGo
To choose which one you want, go to Settings > Safari > Search Engine
I’m sorry maybe I wasn’t clear, please see photograph below. Your reply does not help me. Google apps like YouTube and Gmail keep asking me to set a web browser, although I set a response to ”do not ask “
Again, Safari is not a Search Engine, but I don't know why you're getting these requests to set a web browser. Your original post says you want to use Safari as your Search Engine. Since Safari isn't a search engine, instead of "do not ask," perhaps turn that off and select Google since you are using Google Apps when you are being asked.
My original post says nothing of a search engine.

You kind of did.
