I know a computer programmer, well former web developer, who still tries to dabble in programming who "clicks the magnifying glass" to search the start menu. Same with the chrome search bar on a new tab.

He also refuses to learn shortcut keys because he never learned to touch type, and refuses to type even 1 character more than he has to, so he has a lot of common things he would type stored on a virtual clipboard that he recalls with ctrl+`, and will paste from that to avoid typing.
