Can you take a screenshot of your system preferences?
Just the mail panel with all the icons.

Can you open your application folder and see if you have an application called yahoo search in there, if so drag it to trash.

In post 18 where you have opened safari preferences, open search and it will probably show yahoo, click the drop down box and change to Google.

yes but open preferences again, and click on search, the one next to password, and see if it shows Yahoo, if so change to Google.
It is not a preference setting.
Smogbob, might make sense to completely reset Safari's preferences.

Well if it is not in the search area, that is the only solution left.
Sorry, wrong username 
I meant oblertone.
Oblertone, if you don't mind losing all your Safari preferences:
open the Terminal application, put in these commands. The computer should ask for your password to confirm.
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/Apple\ -\ Safari\ -\ Safari\ Extensions\ Gallery; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist; \
Nope, it might be a (malicious-ish) redirect.

Minio, you lost me at 'Terminal Application' !
Chaps, thank you for all the suggestions but I think it'll be easier to disconnect this stylish pile of poo and take it to Apple for sorting !

hahahahah – I feared that!
99% you have a (malware) redirect. Resetting Safari to its "out of the box" state should solve the problem.

Been there, done that
Well just done a test with the wifes mac, and if I change to google, google search is showed, and same with bing, and duck n go so now I have no idea why yours is doing that unless you have some malware that will not let the settings activate away from yahoo...........
'Twas indeed Malware, now cleared after two hours 'chatting' with three different advisers; and two different scans with Malwarebytes !
ps - As a side effect it has also cured a problem with my email on this Mac !
