Windows desktop search is pretty useless - most of the time I end up going
to search companion to find what I need. Is there any way to create a
shortcut directly to search companion?

Thanks

Thanks - either I'm reading the instructions wrong or my choices do not
include general - just advanced.

Perhaps that option is removed in recent builds of WDS. Tried the 2nd method listed in that page?
