- Gaelan 6y agoTry changing the default in Safari, on the theory that it might use that as some sort of “system search engine”? Failing that, it’s probably just hardcoded.
- mi_lk 6y agoChanged and it's still Google. Yeah the search string is probably hardcoded :(
- pwinnski 6y agoDefinitely uses Safari + Duck Duck Go for me. It appears that it just "types" the string into Safari's search bar, so whatever that does is what it does.
- moltar 6y agoTry Alfred. It’s even easier. I have a global shortcut that opens a search engine prompt. Press enter to begin the search.
- oarfish 6y agoSame for me. Changing safari search engines unfortunately doesn't help. Still a very cool shortcut.
- aunty_helen 6y agoSo, I've been messing around with this for about 30 minutes now. I don't like giving bad advice! Set safari as your default, set the search engine you want in the safari preferences, change your browser back to what you prefer.
