Extension summary

About extension: By clicking "Add to Chrome", you accept and agree to install the Custom Search extension and setting Chrome™ default search to that provided by the service and the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The Custom Search extension will update your search settings and will change your search engine to Bing.

Features: Besides configuring your default search to Custom Search's search, you will be able to check your local weather forecast only a click away at any time! We didn't want this feature to be annoying for our users so we placed it under additional extension's „Options“. Therefore, you can check it only if and when you are actually interested in it, rather than browsing for some weather forecast online tools. By clicking "Add to Chrome", you will get Custom Search extension installed and our logo will appear in the top right corner of Chrome – in extensions bar. By choosing „Options“on the menu, you will get a window with the weather forecast and the search box.

Useful Information: Just start by typing preferred search term (query) into the Google Chrome Browser Omni Bar. The Custom Search search will check the best suitable search provider for You automatically. For more technical details you can read about Google Chrome API for Google Chrome Extensions. To remove the Custom Search search extension simply go to Google Chrome "Settings" page. Find the "Extensions" in the settings menu and there you will find Custom Search extension listed. To uninstall it just use the "Remove" button.
