Search changed from google to yahoo

I have mac running 13.1.1. The search engine switched from google to yahoo. I don’t know why and want to change it back.

Go to Safari Preferences > Search tab > Search Engine: you can set this to a few things. It sounds like somehow yours got set to Yahoo. This happens sometimes if you visit yahoo site, and it sneakily runs a script or tricks you into agreeing to make it the default engine. It can be very subtle.
