"Search in Google" always open Safari instead of default browser
I believe &quot;Search in Google&quot; is a Mac OS X service provided by Apple. Maybe since they don't know how to pass a webpage in parameter for every browser in the wild, I suppose they limited it to Safari.
What you might try, is to develop your own Service, then go to

System Parameters &gt; Keyboard &gt; Shortcuts &gt; Services

Disable the &quot;Search in Google&quot; by Apple and replace it with your own.
You could also try to edit Apple's Service and replace Safari with the browser you want.
Since I'm not on my Mac right now, I can't search for them or look if you can edit them.
