How to remove Google Chrome's Google search engine parameters?
A lot of parameters append to the searches we do on the address bar, here's a full list:
https://moz.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-google-search-parameters
I bookmark my Google searches a lot, and by a lot I mean I have more than 4 thousand of them. So I want the URL's to look tidy to identify duplicates better. The bookmarks are vocabulary look ups, like "Define word" etc.
Here's the search engines chrome://settings/searchEngines:
But I can't edit the query URL on the Google search engine:
And I can't make a new Google.com search engine probably because it would be a duplicate of the default Google search engine (the default google search engine can't be removed):
Seems like the question is vague? here's a better example:
When I search on the address bar which uses the default search engine which is google, I want my URL to look like this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Define+Word
Instead of this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Define+Word&oq=Define+Word&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j69i61l2.617j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Instead of the actual search term, use %s in place of the search terms, when defining a "new" search engine. I believe your method should only work when attempting external queries.

You are unable to change the active and default search plugin.
Steps should be:
- Change default from Google to another search engine (e.g. Bing).
- Edit Google.
- Change back the default to Google from Bing.
Alternatively:
- Create a new search engine - and name it something else e.g. Goog
- Change the default from Google to Goog.
