This is still there is a different form. WIN+F brings up the search interface in Metro (even from the desktop).

Also, you can kind of window with the snap mode (grab a metro window at the top of the screen and drag it to the side. Not ideal obviously though.

Just so you know, Win+F is file search. Win+Q is app search. Win+W is settings search. I don't really understand how these particular keys were chosen, but that's what they are.

Thanks, it was bugging me that I had to select the one I wanted after Win+F.
