Because missing proper xPath tool support in Internet Explorer, you have to Do It Yourself.
It feels dirty, but you get used to it 😉
1.) Open www.google.com in Internet Explorer & press F12 (to open developer tools)
2.) Open console-tab and execute following javascript:

var script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "http://selenium.googlecode.com/git-history/f0245c5918a5ee98e25e47b3e08746eb7fd1a0ee/src/main/resources/core/xpath/javascript-xpath-0.1.11.js";
script.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
document.body.appendChild(script);

If prompted, decide for „Show all content“ …

… than execute this javascript again. If you are prompted again, then execute the javascript again. Do this as long as the prompt appears.
Choose your xPath and execute:

var xPath= ".//*[@title='Google']";
var myElement = document.evaluate(xPath, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
myElement.style.outline="3px solid red";
myElement.style.border="3px solid red";
myElement.style.opacity=1;
myElement.style.visibility="visible";
myElement.style.zIndex="2147483647";
myElement.style.overflow="visible";

Et voila, your evaluation of Internet Explorer’s xPath:

My frist reader, who can add the scroll-to-that-element feature wins a backlink 😉
Notes:

1. If no element was found, the thrown exceptions may differ from time to time and are somehow cryptic. You have to get used to that.
2. This hack was tested with Internet Explorer 9 & 11
