Search Manager: Change Default Search Engine

About

Overview
Search Manager: Change Default Search Engine gives you full control over how you search in Chrome. Instead of digging through browser settings, you can change your default search provider and manage which engines are available directly from a clean, intuitive popup.

Why use Search Manager?
Modern browsing often requires switching between different search providers – for work, research, privacy or personal preference. This extension helps you do that quickly, without clutter and without complex configuration screens.

Key features
- Fast switching: Change your default search provider in just a couple of clicks.
- Customizable list: Show only the search engines you actually use and hide the rest, so your list stays simple and focused.
- Flexible setup: You can keep a mix of general-purpose, privacy-focused or regional search providers, depending on your needs.
- Clean interface: A minimal popup with light and dark themes that fits naturally into your browser.
- Respect for privacy: The extension stores only your preferences and anonymous usage statistics. It does not log or store your search queries.

How it works
1. Click the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the Search Manager popup.
2. Choose the provider you want to use as your default search engine.
3. Press “Apply” – your choice is saved and used for future searches, without restarting the browser.

Use cases
- Productivity: Keep one search provider for work tasks and quickly switch to another for personal browsing.
- Research: Compare results from different providers without changing settings manually each time.
- Simplicity: Remove rarely used providers from the visible list and keep only a small set of favorites.
