Google provides a list of instructions for each browser.

IE's way of navigating the options is a little bit different per each version.

 

Here's a link to Googles list of instructions that may be the best way for you to get exactly the info you need.

Click the dropdown arrow for Internet Explorer 8+ to see what to do for each version of IE.

 

Make Google my default search engine

 

 

Hope that helps.
