Google won't show up as default search engine
« on: July 30, 2013, 08:18:32 AM »
Hey guys so I got onto my computer today and went to Firefox (I check my dads email there) and realized that I had installed a stupid search and toolbar thing from Russia called "mail.ru" I must have pressed the wrong button on a Russian mod install. Anyway I uninstalled all of that and Firefox is fine now. Then I go to Google Chrome and I have this shitty Delta search thing, i'm always careful about this kind of thing, so I uninstall that, and change my default home page back etc. Then when I try to do a search from the omnibox (url bar) nothing happens. So I go to the settings to look at my default search engine and I find this. Help would be much appreciated.





Thanks.

type about:config where the url goes, press enter.
then search for keyworld.url and change value to http://www.google.com/search?q=

I just got "This webpage is not available. The webpage at chrome://config/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Error code: ERR_INVALID_URL"

It's because of that thing you have installed, i know it happen to me too, some tool bars know to fuck up browser really hard. Best thing to do is to try reinstalling the browser and if that doesn't help contact google support..
