How to force Mac OS to open "Search with Google" in Chrome [closed]


The OP is not using the context menu in Chrome, and does not have the "Search Google for...." option.

The "Search with Google" entry is provided by Safari and won't work with another browser to my knowledge.

The closest thing that I found in my journey to provide the same desire was to create a service of your own using Automator.

Instructions:

  1. Open Automator and choose Service as the type
  2. Add a "Run Shell Script" action by dragging it to the right paneenter image description here
  3. Add script

    open "http://www.google.com/search?q=$(ruby -rcgi -e 'print CGI.escape $<.read.chomp')"

    Adjust the TLD as needed for your country specific Google page.ex: http://www.google.co.in/search?q=

  4. Save the service as "Search Google"

  5. Activate the service in System Preferences and optionally assign a keyboard shortcut. Once activated, "Search Google" will appear in the context menu enter image description here


Be sure to choose "Search Google for..." near the top of the list in the right-click dialog box. If you choose "Search with Google" (near the bottom) it's still going to open Safari.
