Tested the issue on windows 7 using chrome M58 #58.0.3029.68 and #58.0.3029.81 and issue is not reproduced with the following steps :

1. Launched chrome and navigated to different websites like amazon.com , torrentsearch , google search and qwant.com
2. Closed all the websites and opened new tab page and typed www. and observed all the previously searched sites loaded as auto suggestions.

Chrome auto add more website in the search engine omnibox.. before (old version) it request right clic on the search bar in the site to add.. and add only the one chosen, without polluting a list especially after several months!
+When choice one by default search, it go in the first list.. good,I used it to clean my search list,and appear in the list to fast switch defaut for omnibox. but why after more day, it return in the polluted list, just Google,Yahoo and Bing stay in the default list?

and why sync with all my chrome browser all search engine list, I never use?
Currently it is easier to create a bookmark than to go to manage this list.

For the second point: I manually add 13april Qwant in the default search engine for omnibox:
Name: Qwant    shortcut:q    URL:https://www.qwant.com/?q=%s

14april I return with Google in the default search engine for omnibox.
This day, I not see Qwant in the default list, it is again in the long list of ...

This is a regression, tested with 41.0.2272.118; and can add Qwant to search engine with right clic on search field. (option not exist now)

(Marked as duplicate of the bug "chrome:///settings/searchEngines totally flooded with custom search engine entries", as I think that's the core of your complaint.  Let me know if I'm wrong.)

Comment 11 by bau...@gmail.com, Dec 13 2017

yes, flooded, and regression because before I can add search engine entries with right clic on each search box to add it for search from omnibox and set directly shortcut, name and edit search string.

Ah, I see from (bug 750534) that you still want to talk about adding search engines.  Reopening this bug and narrowing its focus.

Adding search box folks.

The reporter says "please restore manually add the search engine with right click on search box." and then easily "set directly shortcut, name and edit search string."

Comment 13 by bau...@gmail.com, Dec 13 2017

2 are linked: chrome remove 'add as search engine' because now it's auto added! (auto= all) problem is not only to 'add as search engine' but to not auto add it. Each month I must remove the auto added because it pollutes my entries.

Same as bookmark.. I choice to add to bookmark and define name,url.
Very bad experience added with scheiss design

Comment 14 by kochi@chromium.org, Dec 27 2017

Components: -Blink>Forms>Search UI
This is probably by decision of Chrome UI people to auto-add (and remove
right-click manual add) search engines, so forwarding component to UI.

Blink's <input type="search"> implements part of it, but is not a descision
maker on this matter.

Comment 15 by bau...@gmail.com, Jan 10 2018

sites with search option always add up alone !! while I do not want facebook.com, drive.google.com and all the file search sites (torrent, link ...), online store, and other !!
with the addition of the key word corresponding to the domain name !!! So totally stupid !!
Why do my search in omnibox by typing drive.google.com TAB; while I can do it by typing dri ENTER; and grab my search directly on drive; see often have documents searched directly!
and even worse with translate.google.com !

The omnibox has not used at all from before! we even wonder why this shit still exists!
While before we could add as a favorite, a search box by customizing the keyword immediately!
Soon Chrome will manage our favorites by itself?

new clean this day!

community.letsencrypt.org
translate.google.fr
drive.google.com
facebook.com
extreme-down.pro
maps.google.com
kodi.wiki
station-drivers.com
taobao.com

I fought to keep the "add as search engine" functionality and lost, unfortunately.

Chromium just becomes Google's tool to suck even more data
