Google Chrome allows adding custom search engines to search websites with special keywords. However, sometimes Chrome adds an underline to a URL, causing problems when typing it into the address bar.

Why is this happening?

While the exact reason for this problem is unknown, it may be because Chrome adds an underline to some URLs that use custom search or keywords to query the site.

One theory is that when adding a custom search engine, it will be duplicated and instead of an error, Chrome appends the keyword with an underscore and continues as if nothing happened.

The main problem is that the keyword looks very much like a properly generated URL with an underscore at the end. When typing the URL in the address bar, Chrome suggests the URL contains the underscore, and then you can press Tab or Enter to complete the address.

If you choose to press Tab , you can enter search terms to query websites. However, if you press Enter , Chrome will search for the IP address of the site, and when DNS cannot find anything, it will say This site can't be reached .

This error only occurs with certain ULRs and this is how to fix it.

How to remove the underscore at the end of a URL in Chrome

Although, you only need to use Chrome's Shift + Delete keyboard command to delete a specific item from the search bar suggestion, this method only deletes the item in the browser history. You need to find specific search engine keyword in Chrome's Search Engine settings.

Open Chrome, click the three dot button in the upper right corner and then select Settings .

Scroll down until the Search Engine section and click on Manage Search Engines .

If you don't know the exact URL, you can scroll down the list or type an underscore (_) in the search bar at the top of the window. It will display query URLs containing underscores, pay attention to the keywords of each item.

Next, click the three dot button next to the problematic search engine. If you want to remove it completely, click Remove from List . If you want to keep it and just delete the underscore, click on Edit .

Now, delete the underscore in the keyword or enter a new name and click on Save .

If there are multiple URLs with underscores, repeat this process for each URL in the Manage Search Engines settings page.

While this error may not affect everyone, this quick and simple workaround can underscore and correct a custom search engine keyword string. You can now enter the URL without a page error in Chrome.

I wish you successful implementation!
