Change the Default Search Engine
As mentioned, Google Search is set as the default search engine in Chrome browser. But we can easily switch to other options like Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo.
- Launch Chrome app on Android phone
- Tap on the More
menu options. - Select Settings from the list of options.
- Tap on the Search engine tab.
- The default is selected Google.
- Choose the desired alternative search engine – say DuckDuckGo.
Your search engine has been changed to whatever you select from the available options.
If you navigate back to the browser home and search for any term or keyword, the search result will not appear from Google. Instead, it will appear from different search engines that you’ve chosen.
Google is my favorite search engine; however, if I had to choose an alternative, I would go with DuckDuckGo.
Bottom Line
You get all the options and preferences to choose your favorite web search engine from the available list.
Though the Chrome browser defaults to the Google search engine, you can change the search engine according to your requirements. Unfortunately, you cannot add a new or custom search engine in the phone browser.
Similarly, you can also change the search engine in Chrome on the computer. You can choose from the available search engine options and add a custom search engine.
