How do I change Spotlight search engine? when I use Spotlight, it offers to "Search web for: " (something like that, my system is german). When I use this feature, Chrome pops up and searches with the Yahoo search engine.

Chrome is the right choice, but I want so search with Google. My Browser Settings state that Google is my default search engine.

Does anybody know where this might be configured?
Fire up Safari and check the settings for the default search engine. For me that is google and searching the way you described it for me opens safari (currently my default browser) with a google search.

The option is right there on the first settings tab. I included an image detailing where to find it (sorry for the german):
