I upgraded my iMac from 10.9 to 10.10 yesterday.

Very soon after upgrade, I tried to spotlight "Chrome".

It wasn't found. Lots of things weren't being found, possibly due to reindexing activity that was occurring immediately following the upgrade.

I went to my Applications folder and Chrome wasn't there.

So I downloaded a fresh copy of chrome and copied it to my Applications folder.

Everything seemed fine.

But now when I try to access History in Safari, it tries to pull up the url chrome://history.

And I get a dialog box saying "There is no application set to open the URL chrome://history"

This did not happen on my macbook; I don't think I did anything differently during the upgrade.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to correct this?

Thanks.

update:
I did do one thing different between my mb and iMac. In Safari preferences, i un-selected "Include Spotlight Suggestions".

I toggled this option on and off, and my "history" problem is history.

Strange but true, folks.
