Cannot change my Yahoo to Google search engine.
Hi all.
I have a Macbook Air, mid-2013, running OS X 10.11 (el capitan). Whenever I'm meeting in (9.0.3) Safari preferences to change the default search engine, the browser never made the change from Yahoo to Google. 'Google' appears clearly as my selection in the menu dropdown. I have not tried anything after that. Any pragmatic solution would be useful. Thank you
1. Disable Extensions and test them.
Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Select extensions, uncheck 'Enable the Extension' and test.
Enable the Extensions one by one and test.
To uninstall any extension, select it and click the "Uninstall" button
2 safari > Preferences > Search > search engine:
Select your preferred search engine.
3. free use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac / AdwareMedic to remove the adware
http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

Once this is done, exit Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
or
Remove the adware manually by following the 'HowTo' from Apple.

How can I change instead of change from Bing to Google search engine?
Hello
I want to ask you about customizing the search engine, instead of default search engine as Bing change the google search engine? either way, I'm using Firefox 8.0.
Thank you
When you get to the options, you should see bing in the menu. Highlight bing and type google.com and ok on the bottom then it should replace bing. If you can't find the Tools option go up and do a right click and menu check mark to display the toolbar.

3.6 running on Windows 7. I deleted all cookies, delete preferences.js and don't know what else to do. This was the status for about a week now. The only thing I can think that I have installed at the same time is Microsoft Security Essentials, but its real time protection disabling did not alter behavior. It may be a question of system, since I have the same problem with Chrome and IE 8! I use ZoneAlarm, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 or Spybot as well, but I don't know how those that would affect this particular configuration. Thanks in advance.
Which is caused by a recent change on the Google site and the addition of instant search.
If Instant Search is enabled in the settings of Google search page (link at the top right) then you get only 10 results.
You must disable Instant Search and reload the result page, and then set the number of results to your preferred choice.
It may not work if you change both at the same time. -

How to change the t0 ' topic: host ' search engine
How to change the t0 ' subject: Home "search engine (for the moment it is yahoo), but I want to google. If I search from the address bar, then it is google. but I want to google on the home page for: (.) Thank you
@cor-el: this would probably work if you want to restore the default value.
I have changed my encrypted google search engine on "subject: House" with these steps:
1. download sqlite browser.
(I used this: website (sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net) / victory of direct download)2 extract the zip file
3. run ' SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1.
4. open the "chromeappsstore.sqlite" file in your profile folder
5. click the Browse data tab and double-click the value in the first row. (see screenshot below)
6. Insert the desired value.
As you will see the values in the example below, you can use any search you want and you can insert a "_searchTerms_" instead of the term research.
I have these values:- Standart (google):
{'name': 'Google', "searchUrl" ': "_ http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms & ie = utf - 8 & oe = utf-8 & aq = t & rls = org.mozilla: en - org.mozilla & client = firefox-a" "}
- Encrypted Google:
{'name': 'Google', "searchUrl" ': "https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms _" "}
- Yahoo:
{'name': 'Yahoo', "searchUrl" ': "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=_searchTerms _" "}
- Bing:
{'name': 'Yahoo', "searchUrl" ': "http://www.bing.com/search?q=_searchTerms _" "}

Problem seen in Google search engine.
I used Google for years without problems - I work from home as a freelance journalist. But this last few days, if I search for something on Google from IE and click on a result, I can get the page I want upward. But then, if I want to go back to the same Google search page to check the other results, I can't go back by clicking on the button 'back' at the top left, as I always did. If I click it, it just keeps returning me to the page I'm already. I find no mention anywhere using this problem or any means to remedy. If I have the cursor hover over the arrow bak, the address of the current page appears rather than the original Google search page, so there is obviously something wrong.
Thank you

At the top of the screen on a page web I generally had the address in the top field and right, there was always a Google search engine. Now that the window has disappeared and all I have is a significant window of Wikipedia and I can get Wikipedia search results. It's like they have taken over.
Thanks - Google seems to not be of any help in this area.
You are welcome.

In the google search engine lack of research (and other) bar
A number of search engines have disappeared. I guess I can add those that I added in the past, but Google is missing and I don't know how to add.
Try to restore default search engines by selecting "Manage search engines" in the drop-down list beside the search on the address and then bar by clicking on "Restore Defaults", it will attempt to restore the default value of Google search engine to the list. You should now be able to choose Google as search engine, even if it can remove those that you added previously.

Something still change my Yahoo instead of Google search engine.
I noticed tonight that my search engine Yahoo instead of Google. I changed to Google and ended the browser and then open it again and he had rekindled me to Yahoo again. I also noted a toolbar a day or 2 ago that showed Yahoo. I think it was called Obit. I turn it off. I went to manage addons, etc.. I noticed this Obit thing and completely removed and restarted my computer. The Yahoo search engine is back. How can I get rid of it forever?
Thank you
Maurice: CowdenHi cowdenff,
You should take a look at article in the Knowledge Base using the search in Firefox bar. I also want to make sure that you completely remove this addon Obit and the Yahoo! tool bar if it is installed as well.
If this does not work, you should look at article unsaved Preferences.
Hope this helps!

I don't know how it happened, but can not get google search to stay as my search engine. I use the version the most recent Firefox is here. I deleted all the other search engines, but it always goes back to yahoo. Not like yahoo, I want my back lol, google. Please tell me how to solve this problem, thank you.
Unwanted modules can take control of your settings in Firefox (search engine, home page, the new tab page) and make it impossible for you to fight them. Here's my method of tracking down and cleaning of the bad modules, the air pirates and injectors ad. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.
(1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.
(2) open Firefox page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
- in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
firefox.exe "about:addons"
In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.
Success?
