How often do you need to change your search settings? Users resort to measures in several cases: to eliminate the consequences of malware or to find qualitatively new sources of information missed by another search engine. To solve this problem, you need to do a minimum of manipulations.
Change settings in Google Chrome
It should be said that in Google browsers there are two ways to adapt the issuance of search queries. The first allows you to change the default Google search settings. For this you need:
- In an open browser window, select the drop-down menu icon (represents three vertical dots).
- Select "Settings" from the list.
- In the "Search" sub-item, click on the triangle that reveals additional features.
In the drop-down list, you can select another service to find answers.
If you do not find the service you need, you have the right to register yourselfhim in the program. To do this, select the "Other search engines" section, after which a window for selecting actions will open - create, delete, edit or set the default search engine.
Reset settings and restore search
In cases where you cannot change the search settings by any of the presented methods, you need to reset the settings using a special utility - chrome_cleanup_tool.exe. You can download it on the official website, where you will have to accept the terms of the user agreement.
After the download is complete, the system will ask you if you want to run the program - answer in the affirmative. The application will begin its work, which consists in searching for unwanted software, which does not allow you to fix the existing search engine.
After completing the manipulations, click the "Delete" button. Once the process is complete, Google Chrome will open a new tab and ask permission to reset the settings, change the default search settings. Press the "Reset" button.
Setting up live search
To protect browser users from inappropriate content, images of a sexual nature, as well as improve performance, you can adjust the search engine settings to your liking. To do this, follow:
- On the results page of any search query, select "Settings" (located directly below the input box).
- Select "Search Settings" from the drop-down list.
After selecting a number of required options, you complete the setup.
Here, it will not be difficult to figure out how to change the search settings - each item has a brief description that gives the user comprehensive information about its purpose.
