two different settings depending on what you mean. google as the search engine inside chrome: Settings > Search engine, then pick Google in the dropdown for the address bar. chrome as the default browser on windows: Settings > Apps > Default apps > Google Chrome > Set default. if it keeps flipping back to some other search engine on its own, check chrome://extensions. that's nearly always an extension hijacking it.
