Manage search engine options
Google Chrome automatically saves a list of the search engines you've come across while browsing the web. For example, if you visit http://www.youtube.com, the browser automatically detects and adds the YouTube search engine to the list of search engines that you can access from the address bar.
To manually add, edit, or remove search engines from the browser, follow the steps below. These steps apply to Google Chrome in Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS.
- Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.
- Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on Chrome OS).
- Click the Basics tab.
- Click Manage search engines in the "Search" section.
Add a search engine: Scroll to the bottom of the dialog and fill out the following fields:
- Add a new search engine: Enter a nickname for the search engine.
- Keyword: Enter the text shortcut you want to use for the search engine. Use the keyword to do keyword searches.
- URL: Enter the web address for the search engine.
