Add Search to Taskbar?

[Christian]

I need to add the Search box (for all folders, files, email, etc) to the
TaskBar in Vista for my boss. We're all using XP and added Desktop Search,
using the search box in the Taskbar for quick searches.

I can't seem to find a way to add it to the taskbar in Vista. I need a way
to put it in front of him as he won't use it via the Start Menu.

Thanks,

Christian

he can press start and search on the box in the start menu, there is no
search toolbar
on vista
you can add google desktop search but thats another program

I'm pretty sure there are Gadgets for the Sidebar that you could use
instead. It's a better place for a search box, if you like that sort of
thing.

He changed the start menu to "classic" so, there is an extra step to open
Search. That's one click too many appearantly.

Thanks! That should do the trick.

Hi Christian,

This will show you how to create a Search shortcut that you can then
place in Quick Launch on the taskbar.
