If I use Safari, is that a browser or a search engine?

Safari and Mozilla Firefox or Firefox for short are web browsers while a search engine is for example qwant.com, duckduckgo.com, google.com, bing.com etc.

You can add or change search engines in desktop Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox
