Q: Enter button does not work in Safari upon updating to new OS

When I updated to the Sierra OS, whenever I type on the search window in Safari and hit enter, it seems that the never button doesn't work. But when I pull up Chrome OS, the enter button works just fine. Please help…thanks.

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12)

    Try this ...

     

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Mange Website Data then click Remove All > Done.

     

    Quit and relaunch Safari then try a search.

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History…. The down side is it clears all cookies. Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and move it to the trash.

     

    Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
