Can you explain a little better what you are doing. Safari is a browser What are you trying to do that you are getting Google? Google is a search engine. You can check Settings>Safari to see what search engine you are set to for default, but Safari is not a search engine, so you cannot use Safari as a search engine. So, if you are typing something into Safari to search, then you are going to be directed to Google if you are expecting to get the results from a search. There are other selections for a search engine, but Safari is not redirected to Google.
