Find And Run Robot / FARR as Windows 7 startmenu search replacement
« on: July 30, 2013, 07:30 AM »
Hello everyone,
and thank you for this great programme. I stumbled on it while looking for a replacement for the unified search in the Windows 7 start menu — I’m using Windows 8 and unfortunately Microsoft removed the unified search (many other people have complained about this, for instance here: http://www.howtogeek...g-to-like-windows-8/ ).
For now, I’ve found a nice workaround: I’m using the FARR windows search plugin, which works nicely even in Windows 8, and in the FARR hotkey assignment, I’ve added "ws " as default search string.
However, there is a little drawback…
When using the Windows search plugin, FARR does not show the "standard" results anymore, so I cannot simply start writing a programme’s name and find it quickly. Is there a way of "mixing" standard results and plugin results such as those of the Windows Search plugin?
Thanks for your answers and thanks again for this nice programme,
