When you install Google Chrome on a Windows system that has Internet Explorer 8, you will see that all the search results you get in Chrome are via the Bing search engine. This is because Chrome exported the settings from IE8 and as a result you get Bing as your default search provider. In this article we will tell you how to change the default search provider in Google Chrome.
