Google.com autocomplete feature in Google Chrome omninox
Solution 1:
As far as I know, there's no way to manually restore the default Google search with all its features.1
However, you can delete the configuration file that contains user-defined searches and let Chrome recreate it.
Steps
Close Chrome.
-
Locate your profile's Chrome folder.
Windows 8, 7 and Vista:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Windows XP:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Linux:
~/.config/google-chrome/Default
Mac OS X:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default
If you're not using the default profile, replace
Default
with your profile name. Move the files Web Data and Web Data-journal elsewhere, so you can restore them in case their absence causes unexpected problems.
Reopen Chrome. If you use a Google Account, sign in.
Select the restored default Google search in Manage search engines and make sure the option Enable Instant for faster searching is checked.
1 The default Google search doesn't appear in the Web Data like user-defined searches. Selecting the default search modifies the properties "instant_url"
and "suggest_url"
of "default_search_provider"
in the Preferences file. Even modifying those properties manually doesn't have the desired effect, since Chrome removes them on restart.
