Re: OneNote and Vista desktop search (WDS?)

I've got the same problem, I just assumed it didn't work in 64 bit. The .one
files (and File Properties Filter) won't do you any good. OneNote installs
its own search namespace (like Outlook does) so the .one files themselves
wouldn't be indexed by Vista, instead Vista would load up OneNote's filter
and presumably scan the notebooks as sections and pages instead of as files.

You can see something similar when you see Outlook items in your search
results. Each item is in the same .pst file, so Outlook handles the job of
exposing this as a sort of file system to the indexer.
