google-chrome
I'd like to change the default google search from Chrome to
http://www.google.ro/search?q=${search}&esrch=BetaShortcuts
the reason being the the localised version of the search engine does not apply the keyboard shortcuts experiment.
How can I change the search engine settings in Chrome?
The Search With Google service is provided by Safari, and it is not meant to work with other browsers.
You can create another service yourself though:
open "http://www.google.com/search?q=$(ruby -rcgi -e 'print CGI.escape $<.read.chomp')"
You can use some alternative to speedbit for your downloads like Free Download Manager or Orbit Downloader. However you can try to uninstall the speedbit and then give a try to install it through customize options.
After selecting the Custom Installation option you can choose either to make it default downloader or not.
Now uncheck the checked box I think this is what which is installing the search engine on PC. Also see how to set custom search engine in Google Chrome.

Just go to the preferences menu -> Basics, and next to default search there is a manage button.
In the resulting popup add a search engine, come up with a name, keyword, and for the URL just use
http://www.google.ro/search?q=%s&esrch=BetaShortcuts. This should work.I'm on OS X so the steps may be a little different but it should be the same on linux and windows.
When you're done with that click on the new option you've created and press "Make Default".
