Easy steps to change your default search provider to Chrome

Ever since Google has started off putting Chrome into Androids, users have found it very convenient to swap to and from their mobile and desktop browsers. The ability to directly search from the address bar just like searching on the desktop is another reason why many users patronize the said browser; the idea proves that once again, Chrome has conquered the browsing field.

Google has created a home-built browser for mobile web that provides easy browsing. And it’s not at all difficult to adjust the search engine by default, because Google has also made customization to the browser simple and time-saving to the user.

Here are the steps to change your default search engine in Chrome

1. On the top-right corner of the app, tap on the Overflow menu button which will drop down a menu. The menu will then list various choices depending on the tabs being open or otherwise.

2. Select Settings button. It will lead you to the main settings menu.

3. Tap on the Search engine button, located in the Basics section. Notice that the currently selected search engine as the default is shown in a smaller font under the button text.

4. Once you are in the selection menu, you are given the opportunity to choose from five distinct search engines. Various providers such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask and Aol appear and of course, Google is set as the default search engine on Chrome. All you have to do is to manually go into each one of your devices in case you don’t want to use Google to them.


Remember that changing your default search engine in Chrome doesn’t mean it also changes to Google Now or Google Search. The reason to this is that the two always run your requests via google.com. Also, if you are one of those who use Google Chrome Beta, the instructions remain the same but the menus will show slightly different display than the usual, so be careful not to mess up by sticking to the above directions.
