my job involves copy & pasting URLs into mails, IMs, documents, .. all the time, that's why my google chrome omnibar triggered default search URL is i.e.: https://www.google.com/search?q=hacker+news&pws=0&hl=en (pws - no personalization, hl = language) how to: Google Chrome Settings -> Section "Search" Button "Manage Search Engines" -> Overlay "Other Search Engines" -> Scroll Down -> Add new search engine with the URL https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&pws=0&hl=en https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&pws=0&hl=en -> "Make default" sadly custom search engines aren't synced in chrome, so every time you set up a new browser, you need to add your custom search setting again...
