How to Change the Default Search Engine in Safari on an iPhone

The iPhone allows you to search directly from the Search bar in Safari and uses Google as the default search provider. However, there’re users of Bing and Yahoo! who would like to be loyal to their favorite search engines and would use them as their default search providers. So, here’s how you can go from Google to Bing or Yahoo! as your default search engine:

I. Before You Begin:

1. This should work on other iOS devices as well, including the iPad and iPod Touch.

II. Changing the Default Search Engine in Safari on an iPhone:

1. Tap the Settings icon on your screen.

2. Scroll a bit down and tap on Safari.

3. Hit the Search Engine option.

4. Now tap on any search engine and it’ll become your default search provider.

5. You’re done!

Awesome! This little trick really helps when you are not a fan of your default search engine and want to have something else to be your searcher!
