Is there any way to prevent Windows 7 Start Menu Search from categorizing results into Documents, Music, Pictures, Control Panel, Programs, etc. The default setting is to show up-to-three results per category. I would prefer to change this so that results are sorted by relevance rather than being divided into file type categories. In other words, I preferred the way this was handled in Windows Vista. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

I am already aware of that I can click on the category header to view more results. That is not what I'm interested in.

Simple type your search word & hit enter & the search results pop up & you will notice a down arrow on the menu bar on the right,
