Offer to change the default search engine for the omnibar

I'm looking to offer the user (inside my Chrome Extension) the option to change their Omnibox default search engine.

Sadly, I've been unable to find any documentation on how to do something like this. Has anyone does this before successfully?

Actually with new versions of chrome it's possible through chrome API via settings_override section. But for now it's working only on windows.

Not possible, sadly. See this bug filed in Chromium
