Post subject: | Help Confused - Full Win Search in v3.6.2 versus v3.6.5 |
Hello. I have been using Classic Start Menu and Classic Explorer for some time with great results. I love the Classic Start Menu fly-out feature and the Classic Explorer scroll fix feature. However I like and want to keep the regular full Windows search feature and do not want to disable it just because I want to use Classic Shell. It seems I have been able to have all of this in the past on my desktop. In fact it still all works on my laptop with version 3.6.2. However recently I no longer have all of this on my desktop which has versions 3.6.5 installed. I don't get it. On my Windows 7 laptop I have 3.6.2 installed:
On my Windows 7 desktop I have 3.6.5 installed:
What the heck am I doing wrong? Or if this is normal Classic Shell behavior why does my laptop do what I want? Thanks in advance to anyone who can set me straight on this. |

As of 3.6.7 (and versions before it), Classic Start Menu's integrated search box only searches programs and Control Panel settings. It doesn't search indexed files and other indexed stuff. However, Classic Shell does not disable or affect Windows Search in any way. To search indexed files on Windows 7, you are only supposed to use the Windows 7 Start Menu's Search box instead of the Classic Start Menu's box. Now the cool part is you can use the Windows 7 Start Menu without having to exit Classic Start Menu. Just use Shift+Win Key or Shift+click on the Start button to open the Windows 7 Start menu where you can search indexed files. You can also right click the Start button -> click Settings -> All Settings and look on the Controls tab. That tab has detailed settings to let you set which key or what mouse click opens which menu. You can set 'Left click opens' to Classic Start Menu but 'Windows key opens' to 'Windows Start Menu'. You can also set 'Shift+Click opens' what and 'Shift+Win' opens what. Which key/click combination opens which menu - Classic or Windows 7 menu is up to you to configure. |

Well good news for you. Now the latest public beta version of Classic Shell which is available from the home page has full Windows Search integration. Try it if you are interested. |
