Changing Safari search results format

How do I get rid of Top Hit and Switch to Tab suggestions? When I type in my search word I just want Google to search not any recommendations. I tried to follow advice posted in previous Apple Support pages but the Safari results stay the same. I type “Sixers” and get these old articles when all I want is the Google result...Thanks

How to prevent safari dropdown with search suggestions from showing after search completion. Hello, in Safari address/search bar after I typed the text I want to search, I press the Return key. The search occurs and completes showing the webpage of the search engine. but this drop-down (see red frame in screenshot) keeps showing after the search completed. this prevents opening pages with one click. and ALWAYS have to click out in empty space to get this drop-down gone first. The most illogical in this is that this drop-down brings no added value, and could be removed to improve user experience. Does someone have a solution to get rid of this useless drop-down list? Thanks in advance.

safari address bar re-opens after search When I search from the address bar in Safari, the address bar opens with a list of autocomplete suggestions generated from my search engine, bookmarks, history, etc. This is very helpful. If I ignore those suggestions and simply hit "enter", Safari loads my search engine of choice to search for that term (which is great and exactly what I want). However, at that point, the address bar re-opens to display suggestions again, which obscures the page! Why in the world would the search suggestions re-open after I have completed a search, and is there any way to disable this behavior?

Auto select search bar Hi. Whenever I open a new tab, it automatically selects the search bar for me and I can start typing without having to drag my mouse up there to click on the search bar. Today when I opened up Safari, it didn't do the thing. Is there a way to change it back?

Problem resolved: I switched from the ridiculous Safari to Google Chrome. All of a sudden it just works.
