Does not work as advertised. chrome://settings/searchEngines Remove all but google. Install this extension. Go to cnn.com and do a search. Go to: chrome://settings/searchEngines CNN is in the list!

Worked initially, not it stopped. Test: cnn.com The one reason for me to stick on with this stupid browser is also gone...sigh back to FF soon. Love this 'do no evil' attitude of theirs.

I have to visit hundreds of sites for work, and the "Other search engines" would get cluttered to the point of being unusable.Thank you! The only suggestion I would make is that this extension is hard to find because the Chrome setting is named "Other search engines". I never thought to search "custom search engines" instead. Edit: recently stopped working, unfortunately.

I can't believe I need an extension for this. 4 stars because it still misses a lot of sites, in which many are based on WordPress.
