Something I've learnt: there's a subtle difference between ..
default search engine
and
address bar default search engine
and I realise now it was just the latter I was having trouble with.

I can't link to anywhere useful because of forum rules but use the search term 'mcafee yahoo' to find information.

After update it showed "Secure Search" which is another name for McAfee's Yahoo.
I changed it back to Google, did a restart and Google remains.
