trying to add new search engine

I'm trying to add Google chrome or any other search engine in as an additional one. So to add a new search engine you have to title it and then add in its address. I cannot figure out how to write this out correctly. Could someone please help. Thank you kindly.

Google Chrome is a web browser and not a search engine. Firefox for desktop and mobile versions for iOS/iPadOS and Android are web browsers. Mozilla does not have a search engine of their own.

Google which makes the Google Chrome web browsers does have a search engine which is Google (ex: google.com) and should be one of the search engine defaults to choose from.
