What's your process for setting default search engine in chrome?

Spent most of this week trying to set default search engine in chrome. Nothing changed on the site around the same time, as far as i can tell. Has anyone got a process that holds up? Thanks in advance.

if the option is greyed out, something has set a policy - either your work IT or software you installed. type chrome://policy in the address bar to see what's forcing it.

Settings, Search engine, pick it from the list. If the one you want isn't there, Manage search engines lets you add a custom one using a search URL with %s where the query goes.
