I'm using Google Chrome on Android Lollipop and typing a search term into the address bar always redirects me to the Japanese/Chinese/whatever version of Google. It's annoying as hell.

Does anyone know how to change the built-in search bar in Android Chrome to never ever redirect to the country of the phone and to always use the English site?

If you're using a phone browser, like Chrome, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Search settings page.
  2. Choose your language settings.
    • Language in Google products: This setting changes the language for the Google interface, including messages and buttons on your screen.
    • Language of Search results: This setting lets you pick additional languages to see search results in. We try to automatically find results written in the language you selected above, but you can always choose more languages.
  3. Tap Save.
