Changing Search Engine in Chrome

February 24th, 2010

To use google search in Chrome all you need to do is type the search term in the address bar, simple.
But is there a way to change the search engine to yahoo? Can I have multiple search engines like Firefox supports with a drop down, the answer is two these is yes.
Right click the address bar and click “Edit Search Engines”. As you can see there is a pre-populated list of popular search engines, as well as search engines that you have transfered over from existing browsers. You can easily any of these to your default search engine by click “Making Default” on the bottom when the specific search engine is selected. But how do you change the search engine?

When you looking at the “Edit Search Engines” window there are two columns: Name, Keywords. You can edit these by simply double clicking on the row. But back to the browser window, highlight the address bar(ctrl L) type the keyword for the search engine you want to use yahoo.com and then tab. This should create “Search Yahoo!” box in the url so you are aware of what engine you are using. escape will set the url back to what it was originally
