Windows Search 4.0 search box on task bar

Installing Windows Search 4.0 on Windows XP gives me a search box on
the task bar which I found convenient. But it doesn't appear on
Windows Vista. I know I can use the search field on the Start menu but
I think it will be more accessible on the task bar. Is there any way
to get the search box in Windows Vista, just like in Windows XP?

Not that I know of. Because Vista has the Start/search box, it doesn't need
an additional box in the Taskbar.

Hello Realcat,

You might find it useful to add Search back as a context menu item
