Is there anyway you can change the search bar in Safari to google? If so can you send me step by step on how to do this. I am new to iMac. I have Yosemite version 10.10.2 and my Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) of Safari.
Thank you for your help all.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), Please help asap
Hi, franick01!
Go to Preferences,
Then Search
Then select your Search Engine of choice.
PS Safari itself is not a Search Engine. It is a Browser, similar to Firefox, SeaMonkey, Chrome, and so on.
Great thank you but forgot to mention my homepage is yahoo anyway to keep my yahoo and put a google search bar on toolbar?
Certainly. Your startup page or home page is also in Preferences.
And so you can keep Yahoo as home page but when you type into the search area you should go to Google (if that is what you set it for).
can you show me what you mean i appreciate your help
I do not want to change my yahoo page but went in preference and do not see were I can set google search under homepage.
You have to be in Safari:
Go to Preferences
Go to Search
You should see this
Once in Safari in Preferences you can set your Homepage to blank or current and so on
Thank you so much how do you do screen shots like you did? Your awesome
I have done what to said and made new window empty page but still has come up with yahoo?
also for this
I am new to the iMac and was wondering is there anyway to add the widgets from mission control to desktop? If so please send me the step by step directions.
I would like the weather and some others on my desktop not in mission control and cannot understand why this is a program I hate to go back and forth I would rather have them on my desktop for quick use such as weather as we are getting a lot of snow here in northeast again.
I am using Yosemite 10.10.2(14c109)
Thank you for all your help.
Yahoo you said was your home page. You should still have Google as your search engine.
If you want to change your home page (or start up page) to Google do this.
Go to Google.com
Once there, go into your Safari Preferences go to General and set your Home Page to be the Current Page
And then set New Windows to Open with Home Page
I do have yahoo as my homepage but did make the changes like you said and showed me but is there a way I can make a google search on my toolbar in safari thats what I really want to do. Maybe I did not explain it well but your help is grateful.
You don't need a separate Google search toolbar as long as you changed your default search engine.
Safari 6 (on)
Smart Search Field. Safari now has one field for typing both searches and web addresses.

So....that means when you have a new window open, you just type what you are looking for

See
How to take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support
Or use your
Preview or
Grab (located in your Utilities folder)
Grab has a time feature so you can delay and get an exact action within a window.
