Okay, I saw it offered, decided to let it install.
I find it awkward to use, requiring may more keyboard
operations than the old Start>Search routine. How do
I uninstall the new 'improvement'? Thanks.

Start/Control Panel/Security Center/Automatic Updates
Check the "Turn off Automatic Updates" option
Click 'Apply'
Click 'OK' to exit.
What I do is to turn off 'Automatic Updates',
Then I manually update Windows by going the URL listed below.
Then choosing the 'Custom' option,
Windows begin a will scan of your PC.
Next list the updates that are available for your PC will be displayed.
From the displayed list of updates I then remove the checkmarks
from any of the updates that I do not want installed.
Note: You will be asked to review the updates you have selected to
be installed before Windows starts the download and install process.
I do not "ever" download and install drivers from Microsoft, far too often
they cause more problems then they fix.

I got one kind response to this plea, but it wasn't
applicable to this request. What I'd like to do is
return to the Search operation as it was before
Microsoft's most recent update. How can I accomplish
that? Was it a KB item that I can uninstall via
Add/Remove Programs?

I found it in Add/Remove programs and uninstalled it,
so cancel previous request, and thank you.
