I've had an issue with my Chrome install that I'd like to report here, rather than on crbug.com since I can't reproduce this very well, so this 'bug report' isn't very rigorous.
After 2 months or so of use, my Google Chrome install (currently v 2.0.172.37) suddenly started taking my Google searches to google.com instead of google.co.uk. Going to google.co.uk and doing some searches to re-set the .co.uk preference did not help. I followed the tip posted here ( http://www.tomergabel.com/GettingGoogleChromeToBehave.aspx ) of going to google.co.uk, doing a search, then closing Chrome and waited for 10 seconds. This solved the problem and now new searches started going to google.co.uk again. However, old searches still in history ( see the red-highlighted portion in this image: http://yfrog.com/27chromep ) continued to go to google.com, which is incorrect behaviour imho. Clearing all history fixed this problem. I believe it's unreasonable to jump through hoops to change which Google site one goes to. Especially the bit about closing the browser for a while -- most users will intuitively never get it. Given that redirecting to a different Google site occurs to quite a few users*, I'd like to ask for a setting to cleanly specify which Google site searches should go to. It could be be a UI dropdown (like the Google toolbar for IE has) or something else entirely -- even a registry/.ini style setting. *based on searching for [search goes to google.com not co.uk] alone.
