Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港地區怎麼辦？Google.com.hk 的解決辦法

最近在網路上看到有網友提問： Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港地區怎麼辦、Google 的搜尋結果為什麼會是香港地區、為什麼 Google 的搜尋結果顯示 google.com.hk 等等的搜尋引擎被改地區的問題。今天就來教大家解決，如果 Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港地區（.hk）要怎麼改回來。

Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港（.hk）的原因

通常來說，會出現 Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港地區，Google 的搜尋結果會變成：google.com.hk。會變成搜尋引擎變成香港的主要原因就是手機、帳號設定的地區在中國。因為中國不能用 Google，所以當地區設定在中國，卻用 Google 搜尋時，就會自動切換成香港地區的 Google。

所以主要需要調整的就是將系統位置與 Apple ID 帳號位置改回台灣，就可以把 Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港地區的問題解決，讓 Google 的搜尋結果變回正常的台灣搜尋結果。

如何解決 Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港（.hk）

前段提到需要將系統位置與 Apple ID 帳號位置改回台灣，就可以把 Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港地區的問題解決，讓 Google 的搜尋結果變回正常的台灣搜尋結果。

所以首先第一個要做的就是更改系統的位置。開啟設定＞一般＞語言與地區，將地區改成台灣。

更改 Apple ID 帳號位置（非必要，但可以檢查）

Apple ID 帳號的位置，可以檢查看看是不是已經設定為台灣，不一定需要更改。檢查方式為：進入設定＞點擊 Apple ID 姓名，然後點擊「媒體與購買項目」＞點擊「檢視帳號」。系統可能會要求登入＞點擊「國家或地區」就可以檢查帳號地區是不是台灣。

若不是台灣，就會建議將帳號地區更改回台灣，在更改 Apple ID 帳號的位置之前，有幾個需要注意的事項：

用完 Apple ID 名下的任何餘額。
取消任何服務訂閱，然後等到訂閱期限結束。
等待所有會員資格、預訂項目、租借的電影或「全季影集」結束，並等待任何待退款的商店餘額處理完畢。
確認有適用於新國家或地區的付款方式。
重新下載 App、音樂、電影、電視節目和書籍。因為有些類型的內容不一定適用於新國家或地區。

以上兩個包含：系統位置與 Apple ID 帳號位置，都確認是台灣沒問題後，就可以解決 Safari 搜尋引擎被切換到香港地區（.hk）的問題。

If you are using Google from outside of U.S, Google.com will be redirected to a local version of the Google page. This redirect happens because Google’s biggest aim is to provide you with the most relevant search results based on the keywords and your location. Your IP address shows Google the location from which you are visiting the website. The IPs are assigned by region, so Google reads your IP address, determines the location and automatically redirects you to the country-specific site.

The local domain setting has to represent the country you are in. The reason being is that when you are in local mode, NCR is disabled, so Google will redirect you to your own country specific domain.

4K video streaming

Privacy is built in.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with industry-leading privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. Upgrading to iCloud+ gives you even more privacy protections, including the ability to sign up for websites and services without having to share your personal email address.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention

Safari stops trackers in their tracks.

What you browse is no one’s business but your own. Safari has built‑in protections to help stop websites and data-collection companies from watching and profiling you based on your browsing activity. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on‑device intelligence to help prevent cross‑site tracking and stops known trackers from using your IP address — making it incredibly difficult to learn who you are and what you’re interested in.

Privacy Report

Safari makes it simple to see how your privacy is protected on all the websites you visit. Click Privacy Report in the Safari menu for a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you’re visiting. Or view a weekly Privacy Report to see how Safari protects you as you browse over time.

Customization

Putting the you in url..

Safari is more customizable than ever. Organize your tabs into Tab Groups so it’s easy to go from one interest to the next. Set a custom background image and fine-tune your browser window with your favorite features — like Reading List, Favorites, iCloud Tabs, and Siri Suggestions. And third-party extensions for iPhone, iPad, and Mac let you do even more with Safari, so you can browse the way you want across all your devices.

Safari Profiles allow you to separate your history, extensions, Tab Groups, favorites, cookies, and more. Quickly switch between profiles for topics you create, like Personal and Work.

Web apps let you save your favorite websites to the Dock on Mac and to the Home Screen on iPhone and iPad. A simplified toolbar and separate settings give you an app-like experience.

Safari Extensions add functionality to your browser to help you explore the web the way you want. Find and add your favorite extensions in the dedicated Safari category on the App Store.

Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you. Name your Tab Groups, edit them, and switch among them across devices. You can also share Tab Groups — making planning your next family trip or group project easier and more collaborative.

Smart Tools

Designed to help your work flow..

Built-in tools create a browsing experience that’s far more immersive, intuitive, and immediate. Get detailed information about a subject in a photo with just a click, select text within any image, instantly translate an entire web page, and quickly take notes wherever you are on a site — without having to switch apps.

Notes is your go-to app to capture any thought. And with the Quick Note feature, you can instantly jot down ideas as you browse websites without having to leave Safari.

Translation

Translate entire web pages with a single click. You can also get translations for text in images and paused video without leaving Safari.

Interact with text in any image or paused video on the web using functions like copy and paste, translate, and lookup. 6

Surf safe and sound.

Strong security protections in Safari help keep you safe. Passkeys introduce a safer way to sign in. iCloud Keychain securely stores and autofills passkeys and passwords across all your devices. Safari also notifies you when it encounters suspicious websites and prevents them from loading. Because it loads each web page in a separate process, any harmful code is always confined to a single browser tab so it won’t crash the entire application or access your data. And Safari automatically upgrades sites from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS when available.

Passkeys introduce a more secure and easier way to sign in. No passwords required.

Passkeys are end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks, and they are stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. Thanks to iCloud Keychain, they work across all your Apple devices, and they even work on non-Apple devices.

Learn more about passkeys

Apple Pay and Wallet make checkout as easy as lifting a finger.

Apple Pay is the easiest and most secure way to shop on Safari — allowing you to complete transactions with Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad, with Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch.

Learn more about Apple Pay

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved credit card information from the Wallet app during checkout. Your credit card details are never shared, and your transactions are protected with industry-leading security.

Same Safari. Different device.

Safari works seamlessly and syncs your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and more across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. And when your Mac, iOS, or iPadOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing in Safari from one device to another using Handoff. You can even copy images, video, or text from Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then paste into another app on your nearby Mac — or vice versa.

When you use Safari on multiple devices, your tabs carry over from one Apple device to another. So you can search, shop, work, or browse on your iPhone, then switch to your iPad or Mac and pick up right where you left off.

Save web pages you want to read later by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the internet.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your user names, passkeys, passwords, and credit card numbers and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favorite websites — as well as apps on iOS and iPadOS — and quickly make online purchases.

Designed for developers.

Deep WebKit integration between Mac hardware and macOS allows Safari to deliver the fastest performance and the longest battery life of any browser on the platform, while supporting modern web standards for rich experiences in the browser. WebKit in macOS Sonoma includes optimizations that enable even richer browsing experiences, and give developers more control over styling and layout — allowing for more engaging content.

Make Safari your default browser

Address bar does not function

I type something, press enter, and it’s gone,

Problem of the keyboard’s bar on the screen

Please fix a problem which between Safari and the on screen keyboard. I am using an external keyboard, so my screen will have the keyboard bar show the choices of word for me. However, this bar is keep blocking my view of the lowest part of the Safari. Usually, other app will automatically smaller the screen, so that bar will not block any view of the window, but Safari cannot do that. This cause me to minimize the keyboard bar all the time, very inconvenient. Please work on it!

Best browser for Apple devices

Clean interface with excellent handoff function with Apple devices, secure and good-looking start page. Extremely fast and gestures are really great on iOS and iPadOS. Tons of keyboard shortcuts on iPadOS and MacOS makes it so fast and convenient to use. Although extensions are limited compared to Chrome and there is a lack of AI features compared to Edge, Safari is still my go-to browser.

Help! Google thinks I’m in Hong Kong

There’s a lot going on. We got LeBron James back. We’ve got a great food scene going on right now with chefs like Michael Symon and Jonathan Sawyer . The Republican National Convention is being held here next summer. Things are happening here.

Here’s the problem: Google seems to think I live in Hong Kong.

Last week, I was using my default browser, Google Chrome, and used the omnibox to search for something. Imagine my surprise when the results page was all in Chinese. A quick look determined that the search was defaulting to google.com.hk.

That’s weird. I typed in Google.com and was taken to Google.com.hk. Even my search settings in the omnibox were changed to google.com.hk.

I tried Safari and Firefox. Same result. Google keeps thinking I’m in Hong Kong. I’ve never been to Hong Kong. I’d like to check it out, sure, but I’m not there now.

I googled to see if others were having the problem, and several sites said to change the search settings in the omnibox preferences. While that’s fine, Google should know where I am. I re-installed Chrome. Hong Kong. I changed to DuckDuckGo in Safari then back to Google. Hong Kong.

Today, I noticed that even YouTube had gotten in on the game, putting me in YouTube HK, from both my personal and University accounts.

Here are two tips I’ve found to help alleviate this problem, but I’d prefer Google see my IP and where I am.

Tip 1 – use Google.com/ncr (no country redirect). That will reset cookies and has temporarily put me back in the USA.

Tip 2 – Use Google’s IP problem form to report the issue. I have done this today but Google says it may take up to a month to fix.

Thought I was the only one experiencing this problem. Thank you so much for this! I even had some user named Pickles on my Chrome user list thingy.

Hey Mike, Did the problem resolve? I’m having the same problem with google thinking I’m Pakistan! I live in Toronto, Canada. About 3 weeks ago I emailed google about the issue and to fix my ip, but no change yet. Thanks

I encountered the same problem after returning from Norway to HK, Google still think I am still in Norway when I use my desktop PC at home (without GPS, no wifi etc – so only IP addr). http://www.where-am-i.net/ shows my location in Norway using Chrome, but IE shows the correct location in HK. No help using handphone to sign-in, though Location History will report correctly my location by saying it was from my handphone. Any solution please?

I went to Safari preferences, security and removed all cookies

Yeah, I went to Hong Kong recently, got the same problem!

Try https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/179386?vid=0-635768254986620578-1225356785

Ha ha! That seems to have made things worse! Now it’s all Chinese!

Philip – use this URL. IT worked for me: https://support.google.com/websearch/contact/ip

I live in the Philippines but it thinks I’m in Hong Kong I am in a tablet and play store is showing Chinese apps and YouTube ads are Chinese

Just started happening here, 11-20-15. I’m in California which is still in the USA, at least the last time I looked, but http://www.google.com goes the Hong Kong site.

And Gmail keeps telling me I’m trying to log in from an “unusual location” and forces me to enter a phone number for an automated call-back with a temp password.

Who got hacked…?

I just had this start. All my gps type apps put my location as Hong Kong

I too began experiencing that out-of-body experience and found myself in Hong Kong. I poked around as most of you did but couldn’t find a solution. Then it occurred to me to deactivate my VPN. I executed a search and was back home. I activated my VPN, conducted a search and was still at home. Hope that sticks and was helpful to others.

I am having the same problem now – I thought it was my google/chrome settings. is it my VPN?

Most Likely. I was also receiving warning messages from eg. Twitter and LinkedIn, that I was trying to login from “elsewhere” and asking me to confirm. That’s when it struck me that my VPN wasn’t restricting who my location is being masked from .

However, I find that it’s a bit inconsistent. Sometimes, it depends on where ie. which application, Google is tapping into, to determine your location. None-the-less, I think that if you disconnect your VPN, perform your “search” and then reconnect, your TRUE location will stick, for the near future.

All the best, Miguel

Hi its shan. I live in Kowloon Hong Kong. And I hate the protests that is happen now but I’m not involve. Anyway I know how to solve your issue with Google think you are in Hong Kong. Make sure you are not using a VPN (vertial private network) that connects to Hong Kong then if that doesn’t work delite then redownloading chrome or the default app you use to get on Google. If that also doesn’t work check that you have location services on because that will tell your phone where you are. If that don’t work make sure you have a local sim card from your country you are in and make sure you DONOT have a Hong Kong sim card inside your phone because if you use data roaming out of Hong Kong with a Hong Kong sim card it will automatically use a vpn and send all data back to Hong Kong which may trick your phone of thinking its in Hong kong. If that doesn’t work then go onto your web browser and type in http://www.google.com . Thease tip s should help you get your local Google. Anyway using Google Hong Kong isn’t the end of the world because it still accepts English because hong kongers people speak English as well. If you type on Google in English it will give answers in English.

Hi, It is 顶了给 and I live in Hong Kong. That problem occur ither because you are using a sim card from Hong kong so make sure you do not have a Hong Kong sim card in your phone. One other solution is to turn on location services so Google can get your location details. One other solution is to make sure you are not connected to a VPN (vertual private network) connected to hong kong. Hope that help

Safari搜索引擎切换到香港地区怎么办？ Google.com.hk 解决方案

最近在网上看到有网友提问：如果Safari搜索引擎切换到香港地区怎么办，为什么谷歌的搜索结果在香港，为什么谷歌的搜索结果显示google等搜索引擎.com.hk 已改为地区问题。今天教大家Safari搜索引擎切换到香港地区（.hk）如何解决。

一般来说，当Safari搜索引擎切换到香港后，Google的搜索结果会变成：google.com.hk。之所以会成为搜索引擎，成为香港，主要是因为手机和账号设置的地区在中国。因为谷歌在中国不能用，当地区设置在中国，但是当你用谷歌搜索时，会自动切换到香港谷歌。

所以主要需要调整的是系统位置和 Apple ID 帐户位置通过改回台湾，可以解决Safari搜索引擎切换到香港地区的问题，谷歌搜索结果可以改回正常的台湾搜索结果。

如何解决Safari搜索引擎切换到香港（.hk）的问题

如上一段所述系统位置和 Apple ID 帐户位置通过改回台湾，可以解决Safari搜索引擎切换到香港地区的问题，谷歌搜索结果可以改回正常的台湾搜索结果。

所以首先要做的是改变系统的位置。打开设置>通用>语言和地区，将地区更改为台湾。

更改 Apple ID 帐户位置（不是必需的，但您可以检查）

可以查看Apple ID账号所在的位置是否设置为台湾，不一定需要更改。检查方法是：进入设置>点击您的Apple ID名称，然后点击“媒体和购买项目”>点击“查看帐户”。系统可能会要求登录>点击“国家或地区”查看账户地区是否为台湾。

如果不是台湾，建议把账号地区改回台湾。在更改 Apple ID 帐户位置之前，有几点需要注意：

用完您 Apple ID 下的所有余额。
取消任何服务订阅，然后等到订阅期结束。
等待所有会员、预订、租借电影或“全季专辑”结束，并等待任何商店余额退还处理。
确认有适合新国家或地区的支付方式。
重新下载应用程序、音乐、电影、电视节目和书籍。因为某些类型的内容可能不适用于新的国家或地区。

以上两个包括：系统位置和Apple ID账户位置。确认台湾没有问题后，Safari搜索引擎切换到香港（.hk）的问题就可以解决了。

Safari Redirects to Google.com

I have found a separate post helpful for this question. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7938840?answerId=31691433022#31691433022

One out of two of the fundamental areas of interest related to this question was answered in that post. Website blockers (from a system like Parental Controls) can cause this problem. However, I am still wondering why google.com is the site that is redirected to despite the fact that Yahoo is my search engine of preference.

Hey there, Weyai1.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Thanks for your question about Safari redirects. I'd be glad to see what I can do to assist you in a little more detail.

Does this same screen appear for all redirects or just some? How are you experiencing these redirects initially? For example, do you use Yahoo to search for something and then click it and eventually get redirected to the image in the screenshot, or are you going about this in a different way? How often are you seeing redirects like this? If it's pretty often, you may want to check the extensions installed in Safari to ensure that none exist that shouldn't be there. You can do that in Safari > Preferences > Extensions.

If Safari doesn't load a page or webpage items are missing has some more specific information on why pages might not load correctly in Safari.
