    Search from taskbar - hmm... no more auto program selection

    Ok, here is a little curiosity issue that I have on my laptop.

    When I search in the start menu by just typing say "paint" "maple" "word" I used to get the programme and it was generally highlighted, I hit enter and it would load.

    Now the top entry is only highlighted when it's and entry from "favourites and history" (translated, I have a German OS) - if the list contains only "files" the automatically highlighted option is "search everywhere" at the bottom of the list.

    It's not a major issue - but a bit annoying.

    I've decided to tell the OS to reindex everything - and clicked the "reset all options" button in the indexing window - still does the same.
    I can live with it, but it was nice when I could just type "Paint" or even less and hit enter to launch it for a quick screenshot...

    Edit:
    little title fix - start menu, not taskbar - description still stands though
