How to get Bing off my Mac and get Google back?

Somehow "BING" search engine has taken over as my search engine on my Mac. Google is still set as my default search engine under my preferences, but I cannot stop BING from taking over as the search engine. How do I get rid of "BING" and get back Google as my search engine?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

You have adware/malware installed. Use  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions.  Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.   Malwarebytes uninstall
