Safari won’t open google search.

Recently my google search isn’t working on safari at all. I can open google but when I search something it automatically go right to yahoo. Even if I airdrop from another device with the google link it will research to yahoo.

I updated my Preferences to use google as the main search engine and it will still only open yahoo.

It also did this on my google chrome app. Which I fixed with its preferences but with sarafi it won’t change.

I’m at a complete loss. It’s been going on for at least a week.
