Search Command for Office 2007

The biggest complaint about the new Ribbon interface in Office 2007 is that it is no longer easy to find the features that you want; they are hidden under the tabs. While it has been a more intuitive interface for me, some people just don't like it for that reason.

Office Labs now has an add-in for Office 2007 that will add a Search Command tab in the Ribbon. You can search for the features inside the Search Command tab as long as you remember the name of the feature or if you have the vocabulary to describe what you want to do with your document. If the feature you search for is within the first 9 results, you don't even have to click on it; you just need to press the corresponding number key to activate the feature. A useful shortcut you would want to remember is Win + Y which will bring you to the search box of the Search Command tab.

You can get the add-in from office labs web site.
