Have you, by any chance, been looking at porn? Despite what many would have you believe, Macs are indeed vulnerable to trojans, programs that pretend to be legitimate, but actually are harmful.

This trojan, and variants, hijack the way Mac OS X connects to websites, so it will think that Google should redirect to Wsearch.net.

It sounds like you have a virus or trojan that is altering your search results. (Don't feel bad, you can get them any number of ways, not just from porn).
If you don't have Antivirus software, download some free software like AVG or Avast. (Not both, you only need one).
IN ADDITION to an antivirus program, run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes gets rid of trojans and spyware for free. Install it and run a scan.
