Google interfering with searches by Safari by forcefully asking to sign in to Goggle before allowing to search by Safari. What is Apple response?

Safari offers a number of search engines. You don't have to use Google.

Change Search preferences in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

Greetings hnest, 

Apple Communities is a community of users worldwide. If you’re seeking a response directly from Apple about a situation, please be sure to reach out to Apple Support directly. Here’s a link to get started with that - Contact Apple Support.

If we’ve understood correctly, when doing a web search in Safari on your iPhone you’re met with a prompt to sign in to Google. Does that pop-up right after tapping in the search field or at another time? 

If it’s a pop-up that’s occurring while on websites such as the Apple site or the Communities site here, let’s have you try clearing the history and cookies - Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

• To clear your history and cookies, go to Settings > Safari, and tap Clear History and Website Data. Clearing your history, cookies, and browsing data from Safari won't change your AutoFill information.

• To clear your cookies and keep your history, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data, then tap Remove All Website Data.

Thanks.

No, Safari is not a search engine. It is a browser. Browsers are apps that will, among other things, allow you to use search engines. Google is a search engine. Chrome is a browser made by the same company. Apple, however, has chosen not to create its own search engine.

As above: Safari is not, nor as it ever been a search engine.

My iPhone is an Apple product, and comes with Safari as a search engine, and it’s definitely a search engine.

It's amazing what can be learned on this site.
