• Chrome: I want the country of the Google search bar on the "New Tab" page set according to my langua
    2 replies, posted
So the thing is: I'm a German living in Spain. My Google homepage is Google Germany, google.de. My "new tab" is standard, so I get the usual list of pages that I commonly visit, and above them a Google search bar. That search bar is labelled "Google España". So if I use it, it will search through google.es, not google.de, and often give me quite different results from google.de. For convenience, I'd like to change that so that the search bar on the new tab page also uses google.de. Is there any way to do this, preferrably without having to get an extension?
If you search through the address bar does it also use google.es? In the chrome option settings look for the default search setting, let's you choose google, yahoo etc, however, you can also tweak it to use the specific google you want. Scroll down to the bottom where it lets you at a search engine. In the first two text boxes you can write whatever you want. In the third one (URL), write google.de/search?q=%s Set it as your default and it should work
Thanks, that did it! Google.es was the default search engine, and I couldn't edit it, only add a new one and make that the default, like you suggested.
