If your Safari search appears dark, it's likely because you have Dark Mode activated on your device. Dark Mode changes the color scheme of your device to darker tones, reducing eye strain in low-light conditions and offering a different aesthetic. To switch back to a light appearance, go to your device's Settings, find Display & Brightness, and select Light mode. This change should apply across your apps, including Safari, making your searches appear in a brighter theme.
