Google makes the Chrome browser, but that doesn't mean you have to use Google as your search engine if you use Chrome. It's very easy to use Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and any number of other search engines, and it's easy to do. We'll show you how on the desktop and mobile devices.
Chrome, on all platforms—including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, and iPad—can change the default search engine. This determines which search engine is used when you type in the address box. Google obviously wants you to use their search engine in Chrome, but you don't have to do that.
Desktop or Laptop Computer
First, open the Google Chrome web browser on your Windows PC, Mac, or Linux computer. Click the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the window and select "Settings" from the context menu.
Scroll down to the "Search Engine" section and click the arrow to open the drop-down menu.
Choose one of the search engines from the list.
From this same area, you can edit the search engines by clicking "Manage Search Engines."
Click the three-dot icon to "Make Default," "Edit," or remove a search engine from the list.
Select the "Add" button to enter a search engine not found on the list.
Android Smartphone or Tablet
Open the Google Chrome app on your Android device, then tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
Select "Settings" from the menu.
Tap "Search Engine."
Choose one of the search engines from the list.
Unfortunately, the mobile version of Google Chrome doesn't allow you to add your own search engine. You have to choose from the list provided.
iPhone and iPad
Open Google Chrome on your iPhone or iPad, then tap the three-dot menu icon in the bottom-right corner.
Select "Settings" from the menu.
Tap the "Search Engine" option.
Choose one of the search engines from the list.
As with Google Chrome on Android, you can't add a search engine that isn't already listed.
That's all you have to do. Now, when you type in the address bar, Chrome will do a search with your preferred search engine.
