Where is the Google choice?

Try clicking the Get Add-ons drop-down list. It should offer you the chance to add Google as a search provider.

Don't forget, you can always add Google as a separate tab if you want to through Internet Options.

The choice that I miss is in Google itself...it no longer offers cached links, therefore won't display expired pages, nor highlight search keywords.

When I searched for Internet Explorer Gallery I got this website called ieaddons:

Internet Explorer Gallery

Once in the site I had to click on add-ons (upper left, blue bar.)
That got me to an Add-ons gallery with no apparent Google add-on.
But if you click the Search button (upper right) and type in Google ...
It takes you to all kinds of Google add-ons.

Am guessing they want you to use Bing. I much prefer Google to all the other search engines as its simple.
