Hi, i'm puzzled by the search engine involved when i type in the navigation bar, it keeps going to a chinese search engine call BaiDu. How do i keep from being sent to that search engine? This is an office machine that was handed to me.

I sometimes tend to type my question in directly in the web address bar, Marine Diesel D2. And the search result page that appears is from the following address. http://www.baidu.com/baidu?tn=dealio_dg&wd=diesel+d2

To make Google to search when you type any keywords:

Type about:config in address bar.

search for keyword.URL

change it's string value to http://google.com/search?q=

Thanks xr417, it solved the problem, as the previous user had set it to that search engine due to his language preference.
