How to get Chrome as your search engine?

Chrome is a browser, it is NOT a search engine. Search engines are (to name a few examples) Google-Yahoo-Bing-DuckDuckGo and there are others.

Use the search engine of your choice and search for

manage chrome search engine

and you ought to find the answer.

If he wishes to have Chrome as his default browser instead of IE, he needs to download and install it. I believe it will set itself automatically as the default browser. Just leave IE as it is, because he will need that for doing his Microsoft updates. It's a good idea to have more than one browser available for use.

Hope this is what you want to know, since, as azinoh has written, Chrome is not a search engine but a browser.

question about Publisher & how to make site show in search engine

Q

The name at the top comes from the TITLE value. I don't use publisher so can't help further, but look in the help for how to set the title. As for search engines, that takes time. None of them will find you right away. Google takes several months. They all look at the text in your site. Description and title are also considered and that is what is shown on the listing for some of them. Key words have been so badly abused that they are largely ignored. The "x" means that either the pictures didn't upload or they are in a different directory than you expect them to be.

I just typed the word "search" into the current engine, and this thread did not turn up on the first page of results. I also knew a basic no-earlier-than date, and that the original post contained the terms "garden*" (didn't know if it was "gardenweb" or "garden web"), and that one of the followup posts contained "google". I couldn't recall the posters name, but if available, I would have entered "gw*" in the field for original posters name. How about: 1. Search by title (any phrase or blank, wildcard would be helpful, ands and ors within the search) and 2. Search by individual post content (any phrase or blank,wildcard would be helpful, ands and ors within the search) and 3. Search by entire thread content. and 4. Search by thread originator (any phrase or blank, meaning it may not be the posters exact, complete name) and 5. Search by contributor (any phrase or blank, meaning it may not be the posters exact, complete name) 6. Return results by mm/dd/yy hh:mm of original post or time of last contribution by anyone or time of last contribution by above-searched contributor and 7. Choose recently started posts first or reverse or 8. Instead of sorting by post origination date, sort by contribution date. 9. Return titles only or return text like today Is it possible to search posts older than a certain date? I am not sure, because I do not have patience for the current search, but I believe that posts older than a certain date are unavailable?

as stated Chrome is a browser which is by Google so if you do install Chrome as the browser it will default to using Google as the main search engine so why not just use Google search.
When using IE as the browser you have an option to set which search engine it uses so he could make changes in that aspect for use of what ever search engine he likes.
