"Search" option missing from Start Menu

I just installed SP1 and now the "Search" option is missing from my Start
Menu. I checked in the Taskbar and Start Menu settings in the control panel
and the options are checked.

I'm running Vista Home Premium on a Gateway GT5238E with dual processor and
2 gig RAM.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jerry

Re: "Search" option missing from Start Menu

I don't have sp1 yet, but I believe that issue has to do with antitrust
factors.
Google, etc want to be able to have their search tools put there in place of
Microsoft's.
