Hi Haw,

Did you apply Windows Vista Service Pack 1 lately? Read below:

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.
