I cannot find the search utility that was available in the old 6.1 start menu. I'm looking for the ability to search within Calendar and Contacts; I already have the ability to find specific files on the device via Resco or the built in File Explorer.

For example - I can't search Contacts for a phone number ending in 5009. I can't search my Calendar for a specific appointment.

Does the functionality still exist somewhere on the device but I just can't find it?

Thanks!

FOUND IT...or at least a link/shortcut to it....file is "search.lnk" and is found in the Windows folder. I copied the file into the folder \Windows\Start Menu. Double check that the link points to Windows\shfind.exe by looking at the file Properties. If not, then correct the path. That should give quick access to the search utility.
Yay, now I can find appointments again!

Side note - am I really the only one that missed Search?
