How to set default search in address bar?

Hi, after a synchronization I lost the default search. I mean when you write anything in the address bar and it is put into a google search.
I want it to be https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=%s

Strange. I set the "s" search function I had with https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=%s as default and now the address bar works ok.

Before I had this as default "l"
https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&sourceid=opera&num=%i&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

but when writing in the address bar I pressed enter and it gave me www.google.com.ar but without the keys entered, just the home page.

In practical terms this seems solved, but I am not sure what happened.

Also, it seems one has to synchronize first the browser with the preferred setings.

You can change the default search from the Preferences > Search page. Select a search and click on Edit, click on Details and select the checkbox you'll see for that option.

Thanks sgunhouse but you have to notice that I added anew Google ssl search I lost during synchronization, so my question was different. I did not ask how to change default but how to get back what syncro modified and how to syncro to avoid this.
Maybe the title is not clear.
