Safari Browser Question

Seems after the last update, that when I’m using safari, it returns to the top after I click on a page. Super annoying, as I’m looking at a page on the bottom of search results and go back…it shoots to the top of results. I have to scroll back down to continue. Is there a setting I can use to have it stay at the same result after I go back from looking at a particular page
