How to Change Default Search Engine in Chrome and Firefox

Posted by Kuldeep Khatri on 3/11/2012

Recently my friend installed a software i.e. Babylon Dictionary on his computer. And later on, while accessing Internet with his Chrome and Firefox browser, his default Search Engines were changed. As such, he was facing problems with this new Default Search Engine as it was very irritating and useless for him. However, it's been a common thing with many of us. As most Softwares change our default Search Engine. However, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have the option to fix this and revert back to different Search Engine.

Here, it will ask you to Input the String Value i.e. the search Engine you would like to set as default.

For Google: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=

For Bing: http://www.bing.com/results.aspx?q=

For Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=
