change the default search engine on iPhone safari

When you search in safari on the iPhone it uses Google to perform the search. If you want to use a different search engine on your iPhone, you can customize it to use several different search engines. To change this close Safari and go to Settings.

From Settings, select "Safari" and then tap "Search Engine". You'll then be able to select from different search engines. Choose one and your future searches will make use of that engine.
