Ok well I thought I had figured out but turns out I didn't. The only difference I saw between search.lnk and the rest of the .lnk files in windows\start menu\programs\ was 1: It was a system file and read only file, 2: the shortcut was to a file within the windows folder. I tried setting all the file atributes to match search.lnk but that had no success. Haven't tried moving an app to the windows folder and reasigning the shortcut path in the .lnk file because, well, that's just as much of a hastle as typing it's location in. So in the end, when I click set I still only get the option to add Search as an app.

This should work normally for everyone so long as you haven't changed anything about the .lnk files in the past. I think I had changed their attributes a while back so that I could move the programs folder around. But it's weird because Search.lnk still shows up. Why search? Odd...

Edit:
Possible annoyance found: If you enable the app launcher feature, but then set only one button to launch an app, any time you tap another button it keeps asking you if you'd like to set something there.
