How To Enable Google Search Bar at the Center of a New Tab Page in Google Chrome Browser

Google Chrome is a popular web browser that offers a range of features and customization options. One of these options is setting Google as the default search engine to display a search bar in the center of a new tab. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to change your search engine settings in Chrome so you can enjoy a centralized search bar when you open a new tab.

Steps to Set Google as Your Default Search Engine

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Locate the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the browser window, which represent the Chrome menu. Click on these dots to open the menu.
3. From the drop-down menu, click on "Settings" to open the Settings page.
4. Scroll down until you find the "Search engine" section.
5. Click on the drop-down menu next to "Search engine used in the address bar" or "Search engine," depending on your Chrome version.
6. From the list of available search engines, select "Google."

After completing these steps, Google will be set as your default search engine. When you open a new tab, the Google search bar should now appear in the center of the page.

If you still don't see the search bar after following the steps above, it's possible that a browser extension or setting is interfering with the new tab page appearance. Check your installed extensions by going to the Chrome menu (three vertical dots), hovering over "More tools," and clicking on "Extensions." Disable or remove any extensions that might be affecting the new tab page, and try the steps above again.

Setting Google as your default search engine in Chrome not only provides a seamless searching experience but also ensures that the search bar is conveniently placed in the center of new tabs. By following the simple steps outlined in this article, you can easily customize your Chrome browser and enhance your browsing experience.
