Add a option to turn the task bar search bar on and off

[Cherrrrryyy]

I don't know if it's just an issue for me but I can't get the search bar on my task bar, if this is simply not able to be implemented then that's my bad it is probably written somewhere, if it isn't though I would very much appreciate this feature and think other people would too :3

Hi Can set wither search icon or search bar, or both show, in windows setting>Personalisation>Taskbar
Or can go there from Patcher Properties window, right click taskbar, choose properties then click taskbar in property window, use > More taskbar options.. will take you to same place..

I am perhaps experiencing a bug then because I have it set to having the search bar on and it is not appearing

In ExplorerPatcher you need to set taskbar to windows 11 which is default, if set for windows 10 you can only get the mag-glass icon.
that seems to be how works on my computers.

I can only get the icon, as well, no bar.
I would prefer that option, as it's most like default Windows 10.

You can contribute these features to explorer patcher if you like.

No longer possible in 22H2 and 23H2 because Microsoft has removed the code of the old search box from the old taskbar and there are no plans to have it added back due to the fact that the search icon does the same thing as the search box.
