What operating system are you using? Mac, Windows, ChromeOS, or something else?

Regardless, just search (Google!) "default search engine setting [ADD YOUR OS HERE]" and you should be able to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Also, are all your devices synced so that they all have the same settings? Check that too.
