The SyMenu collection of portable programs
"Search Items" from Nirsoft suite

When I "Search Items" from the main menu (pop up from taskbar) it does not show items from the Nirsoft Suite.
Although the search works from the "configuration" menu, but that does not include Host programs.
Do I need to alter a setting somewhere, or is that the way it works?
It would be nice to have all areas search from both.

It does indeed.
If a NirSoft program is installed it has no peculiar status, it is a simple item, so you will find it among the other searched items.
Remember the search works on the item names (if you leave the default options). So if you install "NirCmd x64" and search for "nirc" the item pops up but if you search for "nir cmd", well the name is not the right one, so nothing will be found.
Read here for the other search options:https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#Advanced_menu_Options_Search
I don't think it's your case but there are further search settings you should be aware of described here: https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#SearchItems4

It's normal behaviour.
The host programs are dynamically discovered because they can change from day to day. It will be pointless to configure them. SyMenu can configure only what's under its control.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, has given me the impetus to check out the manual again. However whatever I do does not include items from the Nirsoft suite via
"Search Items" from the main menu (pop up from taskbar).
But no problem I have my workaround.
