I'm a Mac user but usually have very few problems when I teach my Lr and Ps classes to Windows users....I know enough about Windows for things to work out but here is my question. Can Windows users search the menus the way Mac users can with the Help Menu search box. I lost track of a command and quickly did a search on my Mac while teaching and my windows users wanted to know how to do that trick on their systems. Can they?

TBMK- No.  This has never been a feature of Windows.

But the keyboard shortcut I use is [CTRL+ / ]   That is CTRL plus the key that has a forward slash and question mark. It gives a screen of (limited) KB shortcuts for the current module in LrC.

Think of it this way-
