Search for Files or Folders

Is there a .exe I can run to launch this Windows feature? I want to add it to an application's toolbar, but I can only do so with a path and filename.exe.

 

There is probably some simple way to do what you want but I don't know of it and could not find any help from some searching.

I do suggest you get a dedicated search tool like the free AgentRansack where you have an exe that runs the search engine and a tool that is much better at searching than the piece built into Windows Explorer.
