Hey there everyone,



Today I decided to do something about Safari's Google search box, I wanted it to search .co.uk rather than .com so I googled for a bit afound this program to install to let me do it.

Acid search http://www.pozytron.com/?acidsearch was the program I installed, but since installing Safari crashes on launch giving a "The application Safari has unexpectedly quit". I've tried logging out and back in, rebooting and re-installing Safari



I'm running OS X 10.2.8



Thanks for your help, you guys have saved me in the past!!

    in that site they say acidsearch only works with 10.3.

    yuo are running 10.2.8 and thats why it does not work.



    uninstalling acidsearch should do it.

    see if deleting safari's preferences fix it.



    your home folder / library / preferences / in that folder delete "com.apple.safari.plist"



    relaunch safari ..
