Jul 26, 2015 1:23 PM in response to aapl.croxby Dnilo,There is no fix until Apple fixes it. Also, even though we have tried everything on our side we're not supposed to do their job, we already pay a premium price for supposed "premium" products. So, as philsh say, chrome is the best alternative. This kind of first party software issues didn't happen three or four years ago.

Jul 30, 2015 3:38 PM in response to Mapple89by crystalship,This started happening to me about three weeks ago. I've never had this problem before. At first, I didn't think anything of it because it wasn't that frequent. Now, it's happening more often, then not.
I've tried all the tips on here to fix it and it still happens when I click the back arrow and I get a blank page instead of my Google searches.
Guess I'll use Chrome or Firefox for now.

In my case, this solved the problem. Using Safari 8.0.7 (10600.7.12) on Yosemite 10.10.4
Just go to Safari Preferences > Search and uncheck these two options (screen shown in Spanish, will translate but not sure if that's the same you'll see):
Uncheck:
- activate quick web search
- preload best result in background
Hope this helps
This worked for me! Thanks!!

Aug 3, 2015 3:19 PM in response to Mapple89by bpaver,I'm running Mavericks and Safari 7.1.7 and have the blank page are using the back button as described in other posts.
Using the "Develop" menu, I looked at some error messages in the console. They all complained about a CSS token. The active web content that showed 40+ extremely long lines without spaces. It was mostly Javascript.
So I disabled Javascript using the Develop menu and, so far, every click of the back button has worked while using Google search.
It's more information, but not necessarily useful as many sites, including this one, require JavaScript.

Aug 4, 2015 2:14 AM in response to Mapple89by urafool,Frustrated, running 10.10.3 OS, Safari 8.0.5 - and same issue.
Especially when you have a cat sitting on your right arm, and are trying to search one handed...

Aug 6, 2015 1:00 PM in response to Mapple89by freituk,the worst part its seeing the last safari beta (i have installed) doing the same bug. Safari 8.0.8 with last 10.10.5 beta.
Apple its not doing nothing about this...

Aug 7, 2015 6:19 PM in response to Dniloby speakerzzzzz,I feel the exactly same thing. Sad to see Apple care less and less about mac users. For me, macbook pro is the first thing that drew me to Apple years ago.

I may have resolved mine by changing the search engine, searching, then changing it back to google. Perhaps that clears a cache somewhere.
I tried this. Immediate result is that this has resolved my problem. OS X 10.10.4 Safari 8.0.7 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). I changed to Yahoo, searched, selected a link, changed back to Google and I have not had the problem reoccur yet. I will follow up if the problem returns.

Aug 8, 2015 9:35 AM in response to schemingby lstroud,Unfortunately, this only resolves the problem for a bit. It randomly reoccurs.

Aug 8, 2015 4:19 PM in response to lstroudby crystalship,I tried it too, but it's a short lived fix. Agreed that this bug is random. Glad we have other browsers to choose from.

Aug 9, 2015 5:45 PM in response to crystalshipby scheming,Ah grrr. You guys are correct. The problem has returned just about 24 hours later... ugh. Hey Apple, are you reading this? Thanks.

Aug 13, 2015 6:13 AM in response to lstroudby lstroud,I noticed in the system log, this error message when the event occurred (I have not correlated it to make sure this error does not happen any other time):
8/13/15 9:06:06.093 AM Safari[1663]: CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary on line 3. Parsing will be abandoned. Break on _CFPropertyListMissingSemicolon to debug.
Does this mean that some configuration file is corrupt? Any idea how to find out which one?
