To Search Internet from Start Menu

The new Search feature in Windows 7 has greatly improved for navigating your PC. But how neat would it be to search the Internet from the Start Menu? Here we show you how to do it.

This method uses Group Policy Editor which is not available in Home versions of Windows 7.

Using Group Policy Editor

First type gpedit.msc into the Run and hit Enter.

When Group Policy Editor opens navigate to User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar. Then double-click on Add Search Internet link to Start Menu.

In the screen that comes up select Enable, click OK, and close out of Group Policy Editor.

Now when you want to search for something in the Start Menu, you’ll see an extra link so you can search the Internet.
