I have been trying with no luck to use Google as the default search provider for IE11 on Windows 8.1
Currently I can only add Google Australia as an "Accelerator" however this does not provide the capability to search Google from the IE11 address bar.
It currently seems that unless your IE11 came with multiple built in search providers, you are pretty much stuck with Bing for now.
Has anyone figured out how to do this?

For step 5, if you do not see Google on the list, go to the following page to add the Google search provider: http://www.iegallery.com/en-us/Addons/Details/813. NOTE: If you have the IE update KB3038314, then this needs to be uninstalled first.

The new window from step 5 did not have Google Search in the list. I realised that I am being sent to a en-au specific page http://www.iegallery.com/en-au/addons?callback=true&featuretype=2 and when I manually edited en-au to be en-us the Google Search result was present. I did not require the sub steps for step 5. On that basis, this answer is correct. I also tested whether my searched from the IE11 address bar were then directed to the Google Australia site an they were.
