Description

By default users, can change search provider settings. To disable this, set DefaultSearchProviderEnabled to true in the Chromium policy file.

Rationale

A default search is performed when the user types text in the omnibox that is not a URL. This should be organizationally defined and not allowed to be changed by a user.
