Majority of my searches through safari lead to "about:blank" pages. This has been going on for at least a year. On MacBook Air m2 btw.
Searches fail, instead lead to "about:blank"

If you’re really on macOS 26.2, update to macOS 26.7.1, as try again.
Also remove all add-on VPN apps, remove all add-on security apps, and disable all browser extensions.
Remove the VPN and securoty apps, as those apps don’t always disable as expected.

searches through safari...
Tried a different Search Engine?
Choose a search engine for Safari on Mac - Apple Support
In general: If Safari doesn't work as expected on Mac - Apple Support. Don't omit any steps.
