I have the "can't open the start menu" bug, and while researching it I tried a tip that Windows 8 search is still available somewhere in the control panel. It worked, but I forgot how to access it. Where is this command?

Okay, I thought to limit my search to SuperUser and found the answer again in this comment.
if you go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and open the shortcut "Search", it opens the "Search Everywhere" feature from Win 8.
Very handy when Windows 10 search is down!

Does using the keyboard shortcuts
Winkey+QorWinkey+salso not work? – Spokey – 2015-09-14T12:36:31.090I remember that the comment where I found this complained that the Windows 8 search could not be bound to
Win+S. I'll check those shortcuts next time I lose my start menu, but this question really isn't about the start menu bug, it's about executing the workaround. – Noumenon – 2015-09-14T12:54:10.910
