To change the default search engine, navigate to the 'Settings' option under the three dots in a browser tab. From there, go to the 'Search engine' tab, click 'Manage search engines' and search. You'll find five options to cycle between, with some alternatives already listed. If your desired search engine is listed, click the three dots next to it and choose 'Make default'. If it isn't listed, click 'Add' next to 'Site search' below the search engine list.
To add a new search engine, you need to complete three fields: the name of the search engine, its shortcut, and its URL. To get the URL, run a simple query on the search engine in your browser, then copy the web address you get sent to, replacing the query with %s. After adding the search engine, click the three dots next to it and click 'Make default'. Your changes should now be applied.
If you want to use a different search engine temporarily, rather than permanently switching to it, type out the shortcut for it. When you see it selected, press 'Tab', then write out your query and hit 'Enter'. Your selected search engine will then be used instead of the default.
You can switch to Bing, DuckDuckGo, or whichever alternative search engine you like. Maybe you feel you've spent enough of your life scrolling through Google's sponsored links, or perhaps you'd rather use a search engine without any AI in it. Whatever the reason, here's how to change the default search engine in Google Chrome.
