my impressions of 2007 beta

[mgo]

I surely had high hopes for this new version, since the 2003 version was so
delightful for me.

Well, the search feature did not work well at all, even after allowing
indexing to run for a couple or three hours.

I think it's too bad MS added indexing to the ver 2007. Doesn't seem to be
a good addition at all.

Search in ver 2003 has always been instantaneous so the slow search in 2007
was a big letdown.

Obviously, I'm going to be a OneNote 2003 user for a long time to come.

Thanks for allowing me to comment.

People are saying you need to let indexing run over night. Three hours was
probably not enough. Indexing will lead to faster searching. So if you
want fast searches, you should like indexing, unless the overhead is
excessive (e.g. waiting a day to be able to such search effectively).

Search itself is plenty fast. But generating a note flag summary is
incredibly slow (minutes to search a notebook). this would seem to be the
kind of thing that you'd want to optimize. I'm actually wondering if
something is set wrong.
