Until recently, every time I wanted to search, I just went to the start menu,
selected search for files and folders, and what is now called the "Search
Companion" came up.  Now some stupid "Windows Search" window comes up first,
and I have to tell that window that I want the "Search Companion."  I'd
really like to be rid of that whole "Windows Search" window, but I can't find
a way to disable it and just have things work the way they always have.

Is there something I can unload to get rid of this annoyance.  In the
address bar for the "Windows Search" window, it says windows search, and in
the search companion window it says "search results," even though there are
no results before you type in what you are looking for and tell it to conduct
the search.

Anyone else annoyed by MS fixing stuff that isn't broken?

You have actually fixed it Your self, You have dowloaded
a service pack and installed a new search system.

Just uninstall it from the control panel add and remove software.
