Just a heads up for OneNote 2007 users. After installing the new beta OneNote now says that WDS is not installed properly. Repairing OneNote seems to straighten it out.

Looks like my old indexes were deleted when I installed the new beta. Now in Outlook 2007 the search returns no results for anything I type in. I am forcing an index now to see if that clears things up.

Great news jk! I uninstalled the original version just 3 days ago. Couldn’t put up with the system drain any longer. I’m hoping this version is something we can live with.

Have you notice if it functions any better with OneNote 2007? Even though I had it working, it was much slower than the Find in OneNote 2003.

Thanks a ton for the heads up.

here is something thats odd.
If you have firefox set as your default browser, click search web button in Desktop search, and it opens a new page in Firefox with a list of every file in the root of your C drive.

If you have IE as the default browser, click on search web button and it opens google.
