Google Chrome: Address bar search in Amazon.com searches Super User instead

Question

I often use Chrome's "press Tab to search this website" feature in the address bar.

Somehow, Chrome is searching Super User when I press tab for amazon.com.

Is there a way to correct a mis-directed address bar search in Chrome?

Answer 1

Try the following process to remove and re-add the search methods for amazon.com and/or superuser.com.

Go to the wrench menu, Options, Basics tab. In the section for Default search, click the Manage button.* In the list of search engines, remove amazon.com and/or superuser.com.

To re-add the search items, simply visit superuser.com (Chrome finds the search link in the head section of the HTML code) or preform a blank search on amazon.com (Chrome remembers the search URL). Once the search items reappear in the list, you can use the "press tab to search" functionality again.

(* Just found a shortcut: Right-click the address box and choose "Edit search engines".)
