    Search Bar missing


    Hi everyone,

    Today, I noticed my search bar was missing from both the start menu and folders. I had just reinstalled Windows 7 yesterday, and also installed MS Office 2007 then as well.

    Btw, I have already tried the "Turn Windows features on and off" thing, and Search is already checked off, but there is still no search.

    I've also checked through gpedit, and made sure disabling search was disabled, but that didn't work either.

    Help please?
    Thanks!!

    When you turned Windows Features on, did you also check Indexing Windows Search?
