The above link describes how to make Chrome search Google by default for ONLY THE LAST YEAR. In today's age, older information is usually irrelevant.

This link does the trick: https://www.google.com/search?tbs=qdr:y&q=%s, but I'm hoping to simply make it do this by default (from the Awesome Bar).

Thank you!

Hi   !
If you want Google to be your default search engine, you can do that as follows  : 3-bar menu => Options => Search Under   'Default Search Engine'   you can set Google to be your default search engine.

Hello! Thank you so much Cor-el! However, my original post may have made it seem more like I knew what I was doing than I actually do... That said, no problem installing the add-on, but now what? Thank you so much!
