An omission in OneNote search?

[Andrew Watt [MVP - InfoPath]]

Recently I spotted a seeming omission in OneNote's search capabilities
that I had previously overlooked.

The seeming deficiency is that OneNote does not search the Section
titles.

I find that I have to duplicate the name of a section inside a page in
order for Search to find the desired section(s).

This omission is not a problem when one has a couple of folders and a
few sections. Once the folders increase to substantial numbers the
omission becomes a significant nuisance.

Can others confirm that the desired functionality is absent?

If so, can this be added to the "wishes" for a future version of
OneNote?

Thanks

What you're seeing is true. Section names and folder
names are not included in the search but page/subpage
names are.
