If I hi-lite a word then right click the drop down menu says search Yahoo for... I don't like Yahoo and don't want it on my browser. I would like to use a search engine of my own choosing. Thanks.

That item in the right-click context menu uses the default search engine as set in the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
