Missing Search Option on Right click in Explorer


For some reason the "Search" Option now longer never shows when I right
click on a folder, drive letter etc. All other alternatives that should
be there are available as they should. Could someone assist in how to
enable this again. Windows register setting???

Re: Missing Search Option on Right click in Explorer

Search link (present in the right-hand side of the Start menu) is removed
when you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Also, the Search context menu
item is removed.

There are other ways to launch search. For more information, read this
article.

If you wish to restore the Start menu Search link, check this post for a
registry edit.
