The Search Manager extension for Google Chrome is offered on the Chrome Web Store as a tool to switch between search engines from your new tab page quickly. The official page of Search Manager can be found at www.searchmgr.com/bahk/searchmgrbob/n/zz where users are provided with no information as to who is developing the app and details on how it works. Web surfers that are interested in testing the Search Manager software should take into consideration several aspects of the application's functionality.
Understandably, Search Manager will modify your new tab page layout to deliver quick access to search providers like Yahoo, Google and Bing. Additionally, users will be provided with an excellent weather widget in the top right corner of the browser window and an option to change the background for the Search Manager New Tab. You need to consider that the Search Manager comes with its own homepage and will overwrite your preferred settings. What is strange about Search Manager is that it is programmed to access your bookmarks, extensions and themes. An app that is supposed to allow you to switch between search engines from your new tab page should not have a reason to access your saved pages and list with extensions. That is if Search Manager works as you are told.
Researchers note that the developers of the Search Manager software might record your search terms on the Search Manager New Tab and collect information like your bookmarks and list of extensions. Moreover, the Search Manager software may use the Srch.bar domain to redirect users to Google, Bing and Yahoo. The Srch.bar domain is labeled as untrusted, and Web filters like Sucuri, Quttera, and Web Of Trust (WOT) may show security alerts. Experts deem the Search Manager extension as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that users may not like because of its suspicious behavior and use of a redirect portal associated with browser hijacker software. You can remove the Search Manager app from the Extensions section in Chrome manually and use a reliable anti-spyware tool to delete residual data.
