OSX 10.11.3 Safari Search Bar Workaround

Confirmed workaround

After updating to OSX 10.11.3, I found that the Safari search bar was inoperable.


There is a simple workaround; however, it does impede search performance.

Click Safari > Preferences > Search

Untick:

  1. include Safari Suggestions
  2. Enable Quick Website Search
  3. Preload Top Hit in the background
  4. Show Favourites.

Note that performance shall be affected.


Alternatively using Private Browsing Mode - seems unaffected.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), null
