      Hello.
      I want to use Google as primary search tool, but I cannot. There is no google in a list somehow. I added it manualy, but I cannot select it by default:
      a0dfed3c-2a9e-4e9d-ae2a-d7f4bda2073d-image.png
      Google not even exists in my default list. I tryed that method with "Local State" file and replacing RU to US, but it doesn't work.

      Please help, I don't want to use the search engine infected with the virus of Putin's propaganda, which does not find reliable and up-to-date information. What can I do to swap it to Google?

        @gordon-dreeman I don't think there are anything that you can do about it. List of pre-defined search engines is region based and only those ones can be set as the default one.

          @leocg It's possible to add google to "additional search engines", but for some reason I cannot make it default!

            @gordon-dreeman Like I said, only pre-defined search engines can be set as the default.

              @leocg can I download setup files from another region somehow? I don't care about russian localisation.
