I changed out Unity for LXDE because this old desktop just couldn't handle the load well. The problem is that the menu is plain and somewhat difficult to work with. Is there a way to replace it with something a little more user friendly? Specifically, I know some distros have a search box in the LXDE menu. What are my options?
Thanks!

How did you install "LXDE"? AFAIK, the "menu" is a reflection of what you have installed. What is your exact problem? Maybe include images of what you see and what you'd like?

This may or may not be what you're looking for but you might want to check out the XFCE desktop as an alternative. It's at least something to consider...

One possibility is to install the Whisker menu. This is part of Xubuntu but if you install it, you'll have the necessary dependencies pulled in. Then, you'll need to use the xfce4 panel instead of the lxde one. In my opinion, there shouldn't be much of an additional burden. To install the Whisker menu, run this:
sudo apt-get install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin xfce4-panel
There's a video on Xubuntu which shows you a bit about the Whisker menu to help you decide.
And the developer's blog is here: Whisker Menu 1.3.0 released!
