Are you clicking the little search icon after typing? Try typing the text into the start area and just pressing the Enter key when done. Does that give you the same problems?

Wierd -- should both work the same way!

You could try launching an elevated command window (enter "cmd" into the start area, press Ctrl-Shift-Enter) and enter "sfc /scannow". It will search for corrupted and/or missing Vista system files and replace them.
