How do I do a search with my new iMac without going through Google and taking an account. ~I'd like to use my old way i.e. Safari and nothing else?
iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)
Perhaps you are coming from an older version of Safari that had two separate fields, one for entering site addresses and on for entering search terms.
Current versions of Safari use a unified address/search field, the "Smart Search" field.

Safari is a browser application. It is not a search engine. Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo are examples of search engines (i.e. sites that you go to and input a search string). You can use any of them without an account.
Can I not use Safari to search with my new iMac or do I have to go via Google and an account.
