    A shadow box on top of the search button on the taskbar that won't disappear

    Taskbar on Top of screen, cant add search box?


    Is there a way to have the search box show on the taskbar when the taskbar has been relocated to the top of the screen? All I can seem to figure out is how to have an icon for search instead of the box actually in the taskbar.
