Can you be more specific, Start < Search; opens the search window.

Hi Sharon,

In the "Look in" drop box via search or on the Start Menu itself under
Search?

Ok; I'll try to be more specific:

On Windows XP when you click on the Start button (in the bottom left
corner), and then click the Search to open a search sub menu, and into this
search sub menu I would like to add a shortcut to a third party search
program.

Any Idea?

Your third-party search program would probably have to register itself.
It doesn't look like it's possible to add an entry for a program that
wasn't written to be a search handler.

This article tells you how to reroute the Windows XP Start menu Search link to a third-party search utility of your choice.
