There's an option in TweakXP (under explorer) to enable the 2000-style 'Classic Search' - I'd like to be able to do this with a registry key...anyone any idea where it is?

Cheers!

So does that just disable the little dog?

You could use the following regtweak, which not only disables the search assistant, but also uses advanced search:

CODE

;----- Disable "Search Dog" and use advanced search
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant]
"Actor"=""
"SocialUI"=dword:00000000
"UsageCount"=dword:00000000
"UseAdvancedSearchAlways"=dword:00000001

If you just use the first two lines, you only disable the search assistant and use the normal search function.
