How to set different search engine in incognito mode?
1
In incognito mode, I would like Chrome to use DuckDuckGo as the search engine (searches from the address bar / omnibox).
In normal mode, I would like to keep Google as the default search engine.
How can I do this?

I'm not familiar enough to draft a working solution, so I'll just comment. I don't believe there is a native setting to directly implement what you want. Incognito mode controls a few specific things and also allows you to disable specified add-ons. The default search engine isn't one of the affected things. As a workaround, you could create a shortcut that opens an incognito window and selects DDG as the default search engine. That would change the setting for normal mode as well, so you could use another shortcut that sets the default back to Google and then closes the incognito window.

If the downvoter can share with us his experience and where does this advice go wrong?

@fixer1234: I was under the assumption that "all of your settings" includes the search engine. I don't use DDG, so am not going to change my homepage for test. If the downvoter tested this, let him say so.
