Instructions
Step 1
The procedure you need to follow depends on which browser you are using.
Step 2
In the Google Chrome browser, click on the button located under the cross that closes the browser window (upper right corner). It's called "Configuring and Managing Google Chrome". Select "Settings" from the drop-down list. Find the "Search" section and click on the "Manage Search Engines" button. Select Google and click "Set as default"
Step 3
In the Mozilla Firefox browser, click on the icon in the search bar, which is located at the top of the browser window, next to the address bar. Select a Google search engine from the list and click on its icon. Google will now search by default.
Step 4
In the Opera browser, press the "Menu" button, go to the "Settings" section and select the "General settings" command. On the Search tab, select a Google service and click the Edit button. In the new dialog box, click the Details button and check the box next to Use as default search provider.

The hardest part can be for users of the Internet Explorer browser.
You need to open the "Tools" menu and click on "Internet Options". On the General tab, click the Options button in the Search section. Click on the "Search Services" line and in the box on the right, select the Google search engine from the list, and then click the "Default" button.
Step 6
If Google is not listed as a search provider, then click the Find Other Search Providers link at the bottom of the dialog box. In the extension gallery that opens, search for Google, click on the Click to install link to install, and check the box next to "Set as default search provider."
