Default search engine in Chromium

Post by lmorgh »

I freshly installed Mint 11, removed FF and installed Chromium.

How can i set default google search engine instead of ugly intergraded google mint search engine?

In Chromium, Preferences > Basics. Down in the "Search" section, click on "Manage Search Engines." You can choose a different default search engine there, or add a new one. I added a new Google search engine. I used "google" with a lower-case "g" at the beginning, and I used the following URL, then made it the default:

Code: Select all

{google:baseURL}search?&num=20&q=%s
