How to set Google as default search engine in Internet Explorer

Microsoft has made it really difficult for people using ie8 or ie9 in setting Google as their default search engine.
Follow these simple steps:
  1. Open your Internet Explorer.
  2. Go to this link  http://www.iegallery.com/en-US/Addons/Details/813
  3. Click on "Add to Internet Explorer".
  4. Check the ''Make this my default search provider" option.
  5. Click on "Add" button.
Now Google is set as  default search engine.


Add Google Add-on to Internet Explorer




Make this my default search provider

+ UPDATE on 30-07-2012

Some have complained that they are still not able to see Google search Addon. 

Please access this link http://www.google.com/homepage/search/ and click on "Switch Now!" .

    Nope, M$ disabled that simple method. Now it goes to a gallery where you have to pick out the one you want. No wonder people hate MS.

    I don't want Google.com - it returns search results in the local language of the cumputer - I'm in Egypt and it gives me Arabic, ordered Right to Left!

    I want Google.co.uk as my search provider which forces the results into English.
