Start++ is a great addition to Vista's Search functionality

  • [アーティクル]

The Vista Team blog tipped me off to a useful utility called Start++ that improves upon the search functionality in the Vista Start Menu.  

I already use the Start Menu's Search box (pictured here) for launching applications, and finding documents and e-mails on my computer.

With Start++ I can create shortcuts to perform custom searches and application launches.  For example, using the default install of Start++, if I type the following into my Vista Search box:

w moose   -- will search Wikipedia for "moose"

playartist U2   -- will launch Windows Media Player and play all the music by U2 in my library

Start++ kindly doesn't change the look of your Start Menu, it just adds the new functionality. 

I thought it was cool that when I wanted to configure Start++, I just typed "Start" into the search box to find the configuration app.  (At this point, I have no idea what my Vista Start Menu shortcut hierarchy looks like (nor do I care).)

Start++ is a great little find, and you can download it here.
