I have an entry in chrome that will not go away:
When I do a search for a C# programming question, chrome wants to change my search to begin with c/#
. If I open a new tab, start typing c# search text <enter>
chrome will auto correct my search to begin with c/#
which then results in "This webpage is not available" instead of the expected google search results -- unless the search phase is in my history. This only happens with phrases beginning with c#
.
Things I've tried:
- Highlight entry, press
shift+del
. Nothing happens. - Search history for
c/#
. Returns stackoverflow entries for c#. I see noc/#
entries. - Settings -> advanced -> clear browsing data -> check browsing history, download history, autofill form data. Still there.
- Incognito mode. Still there.
- Open
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
fileshistory
andtop sites
in sqliteadmin, looking forc/#
entries. I didn't see anything. - Close Chrome. Delete
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
. Restart Chrome. Still there.
Update:
Settings -> advanced -> privacy -> uncheck "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar or the app launcher search box" does not remove the c/#
entry, but it changes it to second place, such that google search is the default.
chrome://predictors/ has a lot of entries for "c#", two of which say http://c/#"
. Doesn't have any way to remove entries though.
