Tip 19View Safari’s Google History

To see a list of your recent searches in Safari, click in the Address and Search bar, delete what’s there, then either click the magnifying glass icon at the left of the Address and Search bar or simply hit Space. The previous searches will appear in a list beneath, along with some recent history. You can jump between headings in the list using the keyboard by holding down Command and pressing the Up/Down cursor keys.

You can also quickly switch to an alternative search engine by selecting it from the bottom of this drop-down list. Your new search engine choice will remain in place until you again select a different choice—even after you restart Safari.
