is it possible to add a searchbox to the main menu (similar to win10)?

search box in main menu?

No. LXDE is a very lightweight environment, which means that its components are spartan and not extensible as such.Itai-Nelken wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 11:47 am is it possible to add a searchbox to the main menu (similar to win10)?
You can, however, use a different menu altogether and put it on your panel as an application launcher icon.
It should work just as well.
You could use XFCE4's whisker menu (you don't tell us which distro you use, so I can't tell you how to install it, but it should be in your repositories).
Another, more lightweight option (that requires fiddling with config files) is the glorious jgmenu.
Both menus have search-as-you-type functionality.
