Remove Search Engine added by Extensions (type "Cal" into the address bar to search calendar)
The extension adds a search engine under the Search
engines added by extensions section of the Search engines page
in the Google Chrome settings. This makes it so whenever you type “cal” and
then a space or tab into the address box, it brings up the search for your
calendar.
Since the custom search engine cannot be removed in the
settings. The only way I have found to remove this is by changing the keyword “cal”
to something obscure that I would not type in. This works temporarily, but
either periodically or when the extension updates, this reverts to the original
“cal” keyword.
Is there a way to completely remove this custom search
engine or disable it?

This si strange, as I believe this exact - and, for me, unwanted - behavior started a few weeks or months ago, yet, this seems to be an issue for years. I also would like to disable this 'cal' search engine since i use 'cal' keyword for years to bring up the calendar, without the new event creation feature.
Is there a way to raise the issue importance on the chrome dev side? I couldn't find any "voting" system on that site..
Thanks, and keep up the good work, Jason! I love your extensions!

@cin forgot to tag you refer to my last message above.
I have been dealing with this issue for years... and I never Googled it because I thought nobody would be as pedantic about something like this as me - but I was wrong LOL!
I never use the search engines for actually searching; I use them only as shortcuts. My muscle memory still has me typing
cal
... even after years. Seems like the only solution is to keep trying to remember my newer shortcut that is simplyca
