If you are a Windows Vista user and installed SP1 recently, then you might have noticed missing "Search" option in folders context menu (the menu which appear when you right-click). Windows Vista SP1 removes the "Search" option from folders context menu.
It sounds strange but there is a way to get the option back. So here is a small tutorial to get the missing Search option back:
1. Open regedit and goto:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find
2. In right-side pane, delete String value "LegacyDisable".
3. Thats it. The "Search" option will be back in folders context menu:

why have they removed it
they removed the search from the start menu too if im not mistaken 
VG said:
^^ Exactly. I think they removed it cause they added 3rd party Search engines feature in SP1.

Ohh thank you Google you made my life easier by forcing MS to remove this feature. Thank you for fighting the fight of making sure my life is easier. Butt heads.

Blame Google for this. And don't search the web with Google anymore as a protest.

Its really very sinple for me-I uninstalled SP/1 AND NOW THE SEARCH BOX IS BACK..I do not intend to upgrade any further, as the computer runs fine..
also for those who want SP/1 make sure all the features of the virus scan are disabled or you will waste a hour or two trying to put it in.It would not go in with McAfee running at all,but rolled right in after it was disabled using Microsoft Update..
Xp pro going on soon so this will all end ...

BTW, these steps are the same for Windows Server 2008, which also disables the legacy search from context menu.
