The Cortana search has this nasty habit of being unable to find the programs/files I need, so additional measures must be taken.

Each time there is a cumulative update, the old search is removed from my taskbar. If they really don't want users accessing the program, they might as well make it inaccessible.
which old search is this? I assume the old windows 8 winkey + q one?
Yep
How'd you get it as a shortcut?
There have been a couple of posts about it on here. You use the Run command to go to %ProgramData% and navigate Microsoft => Windows => Start Menu => Programs. It's hanging out in there ready to be pinned to taskbar (until the next update takes it away).
