How do I get my iPhone safari browser to open oh the google search page

I feel like such an idiot. This is probably a silly question but don't know how to phrase it so I can search the community boards. Anyway, when I first got my phone and opened safari, there were several options one of which was Google. I've messed with my phone and that page has disappeared and I can't seem to find it agai. And want safari to open to the google search page. Help please

iPhone 4S

You can set Google as the default Safari search engine by going to Settings>Safari>Search Engine and choosing Google. This will give you a Google search box on the top right of your Safari screen. If you want to start on the Google homepage you can create a shorcut to this on your iPhone screen. Tapping this shortcut will launch Safari and take you to the Google homepage. To do this go to Google.com in Safari, tap the arrow button at the bottom, tap Add to Home Screen.

You can't set a home page on Safari on the iPhone. However, you can put a shortcut to the page you want on the Home Screen of your phone. Navigate to the page you want (i.e. the Google search page). Then, tap on the icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it. Select "Add to Home Screen". Then, instead of using the Safari Icon, you'll use the shortcut and it will always take you to the Google search page.


Best of luck.
