File Type / File Folder Options Problem

So after I used the REG trick to enable the "New, Edit" buttons so I can edit the actions my "File Folder" and "Folder" actually perform, I messed up. Somehow I have no more search. So, I am able to create another action but I'm not sure what the action is to add Search into the shell extension. It has a couple different text fields to put stuff, like:

Action
Application used to perform action
Use DDE
DDE Message
Application
DEE Application Not Running
Topic

Any help would be appreciate. Screenie included. Thanks
