Getting more search options in the Google Chrome browser
When you start typing in the box for entering URLs and search terms in the Google Chrome browser it gives you suggestions for searches you can perform and sites you can go to. But it only gives you 5 suggestions. If you want to change the number of suggestions that chrome shows you, here's how you can change that.
You need to add a command line switch to the call that starts the browser. This sounds harder than it is. Just find your shortcut for Google Chrome, right-click on it, and select "Properties" from the menu. When you get the properties, select the "Shortcut" tab. In the "Target:" field will be the command line command that starts the browser. Just go to that field, add a space *after* the stuff that is already in there, and then type in the following:
-omnibox-popup-count=20
where you can change 20 to be whatever number you want for the number of suggestions to be shown. Once you are done click "OK" and then close Chrome. Next time you open it from this shortcut, it'll show the number of suggestions that you requested.
