I want to use google.com instead of google.com.hk as my default search engine in Chrome. I tried to use the 'custom search engine' option, but they all break search suggestions, not even something like
https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}
{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}
{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}
which includes parameters like acceptedSuggestion
that seems to imply search suggestions being enabled. Search suggestions still don't work.
In addition, some websites suggest editing the Local State file under Chrome's setting folder. I already tried that, and it didn't work at all.
So, is there any way to use google.com as default search engine without breaking search suggestions?
