How to remove bing from safari, Help!

Bing randomly became my defaut search engine today. The search bar in the upper right hand of my safari says google and google is checked off as my selected search engine yet, everytime i use that search bar, bing is what is used instead of google. This is very annoying as nothing i do fixes it and I freaking hate Bing.

Please help!!!!

Thanks.

Select Safari > Preferences > Extensions. Are any Safari extensions installed?

I also had this problem, however, it is simply fixed - go to the address bar and enter any series of letters i.e. djdjdj and you will see to the left of the address bar a magnifying glass click on this and a drop down menu will appear. Click on Google or whatever and Bing will be gone in future searches.


It seems that you don't have to enter any letters at all just move your cursor over the address bar and the magnifying glass will appear - click on this and a drop down menu of search engines will appear... and there we go.


Happy searching...
