How to add a calculator to start menu search? [closed]

Question

I want to make a calculator and add it to the Windows 7 start menu that can calculate functions in the search text box. For example, I write "2*2=" in the search text box and it shows me "2*2=4".

I don't know how I can do this :(

Does Microsoft have any API for this?

Answer 1

No. The Start menu search box is not extensible in that manner. You can add a search provider but it does not execute until the user hits Enter.
