'c̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟' character in Zalgo in Chrome's Google history

I have managed to get a c̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟ (from Zalgo) in Chrome's history and now, any search that starts with a c is typed in the address bar I get c̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟ instead.

How to I clear this?

e.g.

c̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟alender c̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟upcakes

Solution

  • A. Turn off the Suggestion Service

    1. Click the Wrench icon, then select Options
    2. In Under the Hood tab at the Privacy section, unchecked Use a suggestion service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar.
    3. Close

    B. Zeroing the Pop Up Count using the command line This would trick the address bar to display zero results.

    1. Go to Google Chrome icon, the one that you used to launch Chrome, right-click on it then select Properties
    2. In Shortcut tab at Target, add a --omnibox-popup-count=0 (do not insert inside the quotation marks)
    3. OK

    C. Changing the Search Engine's URL Google Chrome by default used a customized Google's search URL that would allow to show search and URL suggestions, we can change it by following this format:

    1. Go to Wrench icon, select Options
    2. In Basics tab at Default search, click Manage.
    3. Select Google in the list then click Edit
    4. Highlight the URL then replace it with this new one: http://www.google.com.ph/search?hl=en&q=%s
    5. OK

    D. If you don't want to clear "all" your history, you can do the following:

    1. Type chrome:history into the address bar.
    2. Search for the specific history entry.
    3. Click Edit items on the upper right corner - checkbox will appear in front of the history entries.
    4. Select the checkbox for the entries that you'd like to delete.
    5. Click Remove selected items.
    6. Click Done removing items to complete.
