Windows Search 4.0 - no Search toolbar visible on Taskbar?

[Mesquire]

OS: Dell OEM Vista Home Premium (updated to SP1)



I installed Windows Search 4.0 through Windows Update yesterday and
after reboot I don't see any visible difference. I read from many
reviews that there is a Search toolbar in the Taskbar after installing
(and there is one on my Windows XP machines), so has my Windows Search
installation failed? I tried using the offline installer and it said I
didn't need to update.

Thanks

Click on the Vista start button and in the "Start Search" box
type in what you are searching for.

Oh! Didn't realize it was a direct replacement - thought I was getting a
new toolbar just like with Windows XP

Feel lucky, my daughters machine won't even boot after that update.
Not to safe mode, not with last known good config.
I haven't had time to mess with it yet, but that really aggravates me.
If I wanted that, I would have asked for it.
For MS to throw it in and put it as a prioroty update sucks.
If people were even semi-organized, they wouldn't need that crap built into
the OS to mess things up!

My toolbar was still there but giving errors. (Windows 2003)
After having used the START/SEARCH it works again.
But i think that'might be just the old one (The screens have different
layouts)

I can't seem to find ant indication of version numbers for it in the
interface.
