My search function has disappeared. If I click <start>, under <run> there is
no <search>.
I right clicked the start button, and went through the <start menu> and
advanced, and lo and behold, no search either. What has happened and how do
I get it back? It is difficult looking for files and things without this
funcrion.

This is the problem, there is no "Search" for me to click, I have done all
you suggested only I did not go through the way you suggested, I just right
clicked on the start button, but the result is the same. There is still no
"search" option.
But then the next question, what do you suggest I use to search, if not the
built in XP option?
Thanks,
DenBem

Are you sure you want it back? XP's native search function ain't so great.

Go to Control Panel > Taskbar and Start Menu > Start Menu tab >
Customize button > Advanced tab > Start menu items > place a checkmark
in Search.
