I installed a new OS and I added Google Chrome to it. Now whenever I search for something it searches in google.com.cy. I do not want to keep searching there; I want it to search in google.com. For example if I search something in the Google Chrome Omnibox, after it searches the wanted result it searches in google.com.cy. If I click a new tab it brings me again Google in region. I want to prevent this.

If you set Google to search from the .com domain, it will do so as long as you keep its cookies. As for the omnibox, you can change/customise the search engine used by Chrome from preferences.– AlexSep 26, 2015 at 5:54

If you are using Google.com (not the Omnibox) to search, there are two ways to change the search settings:
- Visit the Google Preferences page and set the location to wherever you want.
- Search http://www.google.com/en instead of just Google.com
If you want to change your search location in the Omnibox then instead of pointing to Google.com in the search setting, use http://www.google.com/en, or whichever region you want.
