"Search" entry in Windows Vista start menu

Hello people. Once again I turn for help to this forum. As you can see in this image my "Search" selection (I don't know what can I call it) is GONE. It's not in my "Start Menu". Can anybody please tell me how can I get it back, and where did it go in first place? Thank You all for your help.

Hello Ilyabyk,

Installing the Vista SP1 removed Search from the Start Menu and Context Menu due to the lawsuit by Google vs Microsoft. Guess who lost. (MS)

This tutorial below will show you how to add the Search button back to the dark side of the Start Menu by replacing either the Help or Run button with Search instead.

Search Start Menu Button - Restore after SP1

Hope this helps,

Interesting Mansrm. Search didn't get disabled for you after installing the SP1?
