One of the most enjoyable features of Windows Vista for me is the ability to search for files and data in them directly from the Start menu (yes, I know that everything is stripped with MacOSX), and the fact that I can search the contents of each folder. One "but" search using the Start looking only on the local PC content. And let's add here and on Wikipedia web search.
It works only in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate.
Open the Start and type GPEDIT.MSCAnd then go on this path: User Configuration> Administrative Templates> Windows Components> Instant Search> Custom Instant Search Internet Search Provider. Make sure that the only item on the right on Enabled, and then go to its properties and in the first field «The string or DLL resource from which to load... »make Search Wikipedia, lower fill URL, which will look at Russian Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%w
After making the changes you need to restart the PC.
