IN IE11, go to Tools>Manage Add-ons and click on Search Providers and make Google the default. I usually reorder the Search providers and put Google at the top
TO make it the default, select it and right click on it and click on default. You can them move it to the top.
I do not use the toolbar. I put Google as the first entry in my Favorites bar.
Hope this helps.
BTW: tomwed's answers were correct. Bing is owned by MS so they will always make it the default.
