Solved adding Google as the default search engine add-on in Internet Explorer (IE) 9 (Rev: 1.0)


In Internet Explorer (IE) version 9.0.8112.16421, the default search engine is Bing. When trying to add Google as the default search engine add-on in Internet Explorer (IE) version 9.0.8112.16421, the Microsoft IE Gallery website at http://www.iegallery.com/en-sg/addons?callback=true&featuretype=2 indicates "No results were found" and does not shown any available search providers.

As my location is at Singapore, the Microsoft IE Gallery website detects and shown the localized search engines add-ons for Singapore (sg) with the URL

http://www.iegallery.com/en-sg/addons?callback=true&featuretype=2

where en-sg indicates English-Singapore. Unfortunately, the IE 9 add-ons for Singapore does not has any search providers for the IE 9 add-ons yet. Hence, "No results were found" error is shown at the Microsoft IE Gallery website.

Solution

As the IE9 add-ons page for the country, United States (US) contains most of the popular search providers, I change the URL to

http://www.iegallery.com/en-us/addons?callback=true&featuretype=2

where en-us indicates English-US. Microsoft IE Gallery website display those various IE 9 add-ons search engines for United States (US). I clicked on the Google image to add the Google Search add-on for IE9 and had successfully change my default search engine in IE9 to Google.

If the above link failed, please try http://www.iegallery.com/en-us/addons#searchproviders to add the search providers add-ons for IE9.
