Bug Description

Using Linux Mint 11, I installed the chromium-browser package and tried to perform a google search straight from the address bar, by default I got a google custom search for linux mint, which is fine, and a good default option. What I expected to be able to do was easily replace this google custom search with a vanilla google search, but instead I had to enter this search engine in manually. I think that the vanilla google search should be included along side the custom search, to make it easier for people to choose their preferred search engine.

I believe this bug's severity level should be fairly high, because most Chromium users set it to sync such settings. This means that once you've synced one Chromium running on Mint, *ALL* your Chromium or Google Chrome installations on all platforms lose their ability to do full Google searches from the address bar.
