A few weeks ago the Windows search box was broken for me, but I was in the
middle of something where I couldn't restart my computer. That was the
first time I'd used the Start Menu to open applications in 4 or 5 years. I
only use Start to find the "shutdown" button. Yes, it's faster to search by
the name of the application than to click through the Start Menu for it. I
also use it for the Control Panel items I open most often. For example I
start typing "ethernet" and then click "ethernet settings" as soon as it
appears and I type "device" and click on "device manager".
I don't generally search for settings in a device. Maybe I'll try it.

We've got a new employee in his 20's. He never browses for programs off his
start menu, but uses the windows search box for everything.
Anything that has a search box, he types into that. I didn't even know that
the Grandstream UCM's had a search function, but he only uses that to find
settings to change. Is this normal behavior now? Is it actually faster?
