Google-chrome – Google Chrome Tab Search is Not Working

google-chromegoogle-search

So, I just bought a new laptop, installed Google Chrome, and discovered to my dismay that when I try to do what I normally do to perform a search, Google Chrome is acting wonky.

To normally search on every other computer I use, I start typing google in the adress bar, when I get to goo (usually), I'll hit TAB to enter "site search mode". Chrome is being a jerk and trying to take me to a page that is in my history.

I've tried clearing my history to see if that would fix it, but it still won't seem to work.

So, what can I do to make "search in site" work for Google (when it works by default for every other installation of Chrome)?

Best Answer

Go to chrome://chrome/settings/ then Manage Search Engines and in order for feature to work it must be added to the list of search engines. Chrome typically adds it automatically once you visit the site though.
