[size=1em][member=6123]thoughtinstinct[/member][/size] [size=1em]Try Chrome settings... [/size]
[size=1em]Click the 3 dots upper right corner[/size]
[size=1em]Click Settings scroll down[/size]
[size=1em]In the Heading Search engine[/size]
[size=1em]Change Search engine used in the address bar[/size]
[size=1em]Set to Google[/size]
[size=1em]Reread -- you might have this set.. Look in Extensions [/size]
[size=1em]Also can check manage search engines (from above) and remove yahoo and others.[/size]
[size=1em]*PS - after setting - close all tabs/browser and relaunch[/size]

Thanks for the reply.
I removed yahoo and now when i search the browser closes itself. I changed to duckduckgo and all seems to work fine.
Strange still why this is the case.
