Customize searching in Safari on Mac
Searching the web is a powerful way to find information, and in Safari you can choose which search engine you wish to use.
Prevent search engine suggestions
- In the Safari app
on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences, then click Search.
- Deselect “Include search engine suggestions.”Safari stops sending the search engine your partial search terms as you type them, and the search engine doesn’t send Safari search suggestions to be visible in the results list below the search and address field.
Stop preloading the top search hit
- In the Safari app
on your Mac, click Safari > Preferences, then choose Search.
- Deselect “Preload Top Hit in the background.”While you’re typing in the Smart Search field, Safari no longer begins to load a page it determines to be the top hit determined upon your bookmarks and browsing history.
Stop showing icons for your favorite websites below the Smart Search field
- In the Safari application
on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences, following click Search.
- Deselect “Show Favorites.”
