OK - so what's the charm called appears when you drag from the edge of the right hand side of the screen toward the centre?

From top to bottom its search, share, start, devices, settings.

That's more of a filter, you need to enter a query first. So in that sense yes its normal behaviour.

thanks theheyes
And just learnt from Glaucus that the charm bar is app specific too. Really is a learning curve with Win 8 but as I've said good fun. Anyone not upgraded from Win 7, go for it

Yeah, also right click or swipe up/down from the bottom/top edge invokes the "app bar".

There is a learning curve but the controls are global and only need to be learned once. Its quite natural when you get used to them.
