Google Chrome: Accidentally Deleted Google as a Default Search Engine

Yahoo Search Engine is so annoying. Whenever I restart Windows, Yahoo will set itself to be the default search engine, which I DON'T NEED IT!

I did the work-around solution to change back to the Google Search but once I accidentally deleted Google from the list of search engine and has trouble to take it back.

Here are the steps to do:

- Open Google Chrome, click at the wrench icon at top-right corner.

















- From "Basics" tab, click at "Manage search engines" button.





























- At "Other search engines" section, add
    Add a new search engine: Google
    Keywork: google.com
    URL with %s in place of query: {google:baseURL}search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:instantFieldTrialGroupParameter}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&q=%s


   Press "Enter".






















- Move mouse over the line that you just add, "Make default" button will appear. Click it.























- Now, Google becomes the default search engine again. Close everything and you can start doing your work.

    This is great! But it's a bit outdated. Instead the wrench, it has 3 dots. Instead of options, it now says settings. Everything else is the same :)
