Start->Search Does Nothing on XP Home SP1

[Jason]

Hello

I'm running Windows XP Home SP1, and I can't get the Start->Search option to
work. Selecting it just does nothing - no increase in CPU activity, no
error messages, nothing.

I've tried disabling and re-enabling the Search option via registry tweaks,
the control panel, and Tweak UI, and can't get it to do anything.

Opening Windows Explorer and right-clicking on a disk or directory,
selecting "Search..." from there works without any problems.

I'd be really grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Jason
