Yahoo set as Search Engine

Hi,


I downloaded program, which came with the yahoo package. As I wasn't paying too much attention, yahoo was installed and set as my primary search engine. Whenever I type search terms in the url-column of my safari browser, it does not bring me to the google results, but to yahoo's.


I have already changed my standard search engine in the preference section and I have cleared my cache and reset safari. What else can be done?


Cheers,


Joern
