Safari seems to have a bug? OS 10.15.7

Hi Community,

Just recently I notice when searching in Safari (the google window at the top of the browser) the next page that opens Yahoo places its self at the Top of every page - see screenshot - How do I clear this out - There isn't an unknown application in Extension that all seems ok. Maybe I need to reset safari or is this a deeper issue?

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11
