Set / Lock Search Engine / Omnibox on Chromebooks

I am attempting to lock down the ability to change search engines on our Chromebooks.  I would like to force that only Google be the allowed search engine.  I have found a place in admin console for Omnibox search provider but have not found a good resource to actually set it up. Google has a vague page on it but leaving the optional fields blank gives me errors and says all fields must have an entry.

Got it all setup and working.  Took a little playing. Not much documentation on it and I kept getting errors in setting up this setting.
