Hi , how do I change my search engine back to safari I seen someone say “ just go to the menu at the top of your screen, then click on System Preferences... -->
General --> click the "Default web browser" popup and select "Safari.app" from the list of options. After that, next time you click a web link in any app it should open in Safari. “ but i don’t see that can somebody maybe make a video of them doing it ?

There is no such thing as a "safari search engine". Safari is a browser. Apple does not have a search engine.
If you want to change the default search engine from your iPhone, to go Settings>Safari>Search Engine. The options are Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandes, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia.
If you want to change your default browser, see my post from above:
It sounds as if you're asking how to make Safari your default browser. If you're using your iPhone, the only equipment you've listed in your post, Safari is the default browser until you change it to something else. To do that you would need, for example to go to Settings>Chrome>Default Browser App and make it the default browser. Then, and only then, would you see the option under Settings>Safari to change it back to Safari as the default.
If you are using a Mac, what version of Mac OS are you running? If you're running Ventura, the directions are not what you described. See here:

I was away from home and someone removed my Safari when using Chrome to connect my Mac Pro yo his internet. The icon is there, click and it says the application “Safari.app” is not open anymore. Information is still in Recent. i really must get it back need my Mac. Years of documents and research on it. It is still on my phone IPhone 13. Probably Not hard but I am fearful of doing something that deletes it all or overlays on Icloud so backup is gone. Sorry but as you can tell I do not know what I am doing
I need to go to Safari in setting and select Safari Browser that has a compass icon and clear history and Website Data Under Clear Timframe I’m to choose All History but when I go to Safari Google comes up so how do I go to Safari Browser
Somehow, I lost Safari. It is not on one of my eight screens. I looked for it for over an hour now. I can bring it up when I search for it but it does not let me locate it. I would like to restore it to its rightful place. Thank you.

Go to the App Library. It's the last screen to the right. Type "Safari" into the search bar. Press and hold on the Safari icon. Select "Add to Home Screen."

I deleted the safari search engine icon off my homepage. How do I get it back on plus when I go to apps the safari app opens & it doesn’t have anyway to search
There is no "Safari search icon". Do you mean that the icon for the Safari web browser is no longer on your Home Screen? If so, go the the App Library (right most screen), locate Safari. Press and hold on the icon until it pops over to the Home Screen and let go.
To search in Safari, type your query in the search bar.

why isn't safari a choice for a browser anymore
Are you saying that you can't find the Safari app on your phone anymore? As it can't be deleted, it's there somewhere. Go to the App Library (past the rightmost Home Screen) and type Safari into the search field.
Do you know if it’s possible and I’m sorry if this is like years ago of this comment but I was curious if I’m able to change the default search engine.
like a custom one that’s not listed on Mac or iOS. I don’t own a MacBook, only an iPhone and there’s no option. I don’t think to change, but I was curious if there’s a way to have Siri use a custom search engine that’s not Google.

There should be an option. Settings>Apps>Safari>Search Engine. The options are Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yardex, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia.
Note that if you're using a version of iOS prior to 18, the path is Settings>Safari>Search Engine.
I want to go back to Safari for my web page.
