Set the default search engine for Google Chrome

Question

I need to develop an exe application that will replace the default Google Chrome search engine and configure my personal Google Chrome search engine after installing on this EXE.

Answer 1

I don’t think there is an API for this via JavaScript or else.
However, this is possible using the SQLite data file and editing it.

The file in standard Windows 7 can be found at:
C:\Users\ABC\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Defaultand the file is called 'Web Data'.

, 'keywords'.
, 'Default Search Provider ID' 'meta'.

: Chrome script
