You can enter %temp% in any address bar managed by File Explorer, like
File Explorer's own address bar, or the address bar toolbar in the
Taskbar.  In the Start Menu (with or without the search box), entering
%temp (before you even append the second %) will show a hit on the
Temporary File Folder.

The search box for the Start Menu is superfluous.  Whether you type into
the search box when the Start Menu is displayed, or don't have a search
box but start typing when the Start Menu is displayed, the Start Menu
will search on whatever you type when it is in focus.  The search box is
a waste of screen realestate.  Just open the Start Menu, and start
typing.  To hide the superfluous search box, right-click on empty space
in the Taskbar, and under the Search menu entry elect Hidden.

No idea why John used Powershell to run DOS commands.  Powershell is not
the cmd.exe shell.  If he insists on opening a console window for
Powershell, and to avoid learning Powershell, he could enter cmd to load
yet another shell in which to run DOS commands.
