Set your default search engine


In Google Chrome, the address bar that sits at the top of the browser window (sometimes called the "omnibox") doubles as a search box. You can specify the search engine that the address bar should use by default for your searches.


If you're having trouble blocking pop-ups, saving your homepage or startup preferences, or setting your default search engine, then an unwanted program may have taken over your settings. Check out troubleshooting steps to help resolve your issue or try resetting your browser settings.

When you launch Chrome for the first time after installation, a bubble near the omnibox appears. It emphasizes that you can search directly in the omnibox with the default search engine, Google Search. If you'd like to change your default search engine, click Change to set a new one.

First run default search engine bubble
