Could you provide the screenshot of the search bar, so that we can see how it looks like and where it comes from. Thanks.
There a few known pieces of malware that inject Search bars into Chrome at the top of the page; some are per-browser extensions, and some work by configuring a system proxy to point to a locally running malware proxy server that injects the search bar into the markup of pages as they load.

None of these represents a vulnerability in Chrome, as these exploits are installed by the user with native code permissions. If the Chrome Cleanup Tool (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6086368?hl=en) cannot clean up the system, you may need to manually remove the unwanted software (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2765944?hl=en).
