Im looking for this function too. Let me know if you found it.
 
Running it via script I get an Active Directory Search For Computers (but
I'm not on a domain so it doesn't work).

This is the script, 2 lines in a vbs file.


Set wshshell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
wshshell.findcomputer

overkill for something so simple. there must be something in vista we are
not seeing
 
I get the sense that the networking has changed. In theory one wouldn't need
to search (a search went and fouind out what was there now rather than
waiting for automatic timing.

I searched all the MS Programmer's blogs too. Nuffin bout "Search For
Computers" or "Find Computer"

The topic for search handlers says it is not supported on Vista or later.

I'm not on a network. Did it work?

Ctrl + Winkey + F should also start it.

This one only works in a domain. Not a workgroup. There has got to be
a way to do this.
