Your PC builder has likely preset Internet Explorer’s default
search engine to the one that’s paying it the most. Otherwise,
it’ll be set to Microsoft’s liking: Bing. Change this setting
by clicking the drop-down arrow in the top right corner of the
IE window (within the search box), and click Find More Providers.
You won’t find Google without a hunt, so type Google into the
‘Find add-ons…’ search box, and select the first result, Google
Search Suggestions. Click Add to Internet Explorer, and at the
pop-up, click Make this my default search provider.
