How to : Search internet from your start menu



Windows 7 Start Menu
The Start Menu’s search box is a convenient way to search through your PC — but you can also have it do double-duty and perform Internet searches as well. To enable this feature:
1. In the Start Menu search box, type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter to run the Group Policy Editor.
2. Go to User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Start Menu and Taskbar.

4. From now on, when you type a search term in the Search box on the Start Menu, a “Search the Internet” link will appear. Click the link to launch the search in your default browser with your default search engine.
