Hey everyone! I'm dealing with a really frustrating issue on my computer. Whenever I use the search bar, no matter what I type, the results show for just a moment and then it reloads the page as if I searched something on Yahoo. I wouldn't mind so much under normal circumstances, but as I'm gearing up for college and relying more on my computer for online resources, I'm really realizing how frustrating Yahoo's search engine is. I've tried different browsers like Opera, Chrome, and Edge, and even attempted to block Yahoo access, but nothing works! I'm genuinely stuck and could use some advice.

Make sure to inspect all your browser extensions. You could also run a Malwarebytes scan to catch any hidden issues.
Run a complete system scan with a trusted anti-malware program. There are malicious apps that can intercept searches and redirect you to specific sites.
What operating system are you running? For Chrome, you might want to check your search engine settings. Also, who's your Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
It sounds like you might have a browser hijacker installed. I recommend searching for "why does my browser keep going to Yahoo"; you'll find plenty of articles with solutions. Double check your system for malware!
