Safari is a web browser, the software you use to access the WWW. A search engine is a web service that...well, searches.

Safari's default search engine is Google, which pretty much the whole world (the Firefox family, Opera, Chrome, I think even IE!) uses because of their generally superior, refined, and innovative (despite the loud protestations of certain people here) search methodologies (More info than you ever wanted).

So for an answer - the only search engine I use is Google. In all three browsers that I use, mostly Chrome, Safari and Camino sometimes.
