Cnet article on searching seems to be incorrect on one point...

"The changes will be visible to those running Vista in a few places. The
first of these places is in Vista's start menu. Today there are buttons
that say "see all results" or "search everywhere." If a third party
search engine is chosen, that engine will launch when the search
everywhere button is clicked."

that's an excerpt from an article on cnet
http://news.com.com/Microsoft+outlin...?tag=nefd.lede

well, I dunno about your Vista installations, but on mine, there are
"see all results" and "search the internet" options on the start menu,
after typing in some criteria into the search box. No "search
everywhere" option.

How about yours? you have "search everywhere" or "search the
internet", as the second search option? I'm thinking Ina Fried got her
info wrong.

I get "See all results" and "Search the internet" while it's searching, or
if items are found. "See all results" becomes "Search everywhere" if no
results are found ("Search the internet" stays there in either situation).
