Safari and Google are two completely different things. Safari is a web browser, which Google is a search engine. Do you have Google selected as your default search engine? What are you expecting to happen when you click on Safari in the Suggestions group?
Hope your device is not Jailbroken?
On iOS, when you use Safari, the default search engine is usually set to Google. This is normal, as Google is the default for most iPhones out of the box. However, you’re not stuck with it—you can easily change the search engine to another one of your choice, such as Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Ecosia. This can be done by going to Settings > Safari > Search Engine, and selecting the one you prefer.
So yes, if you’re seeing Google search results when you type in Safari’s address bar, that’s simply because Google is set as your default search engine—but you have the freedom to change it anytime.
How do I restore missing Settings and Safari icons on iPhone 12's Siri/Suggestions group?
