Simplify search on Windows 8

One of the better functions in Windows 8 is the ability to search your entire computer using the search “charm”. You need to access the menu from the right-hand side of the screen before using it.

But did you know you don’t actually need to open it to use the search function? From the opening start menu, all you need to do to start searching is type.

Simply start typing and the search will take place automatically.
