All you need to do is type in your search criteria
in the "Start Search" box located by clicking on
the blue Vista start button.

If you still wish to add Search to the Start Menu, see:

Hello Stuart,

This tutorial will show you how to restore the Search button on the
Start menu.

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.
