Vista 64 bit How to index OneNote 2007 B2

[Agent86]

I have read a large amount of posts. It looks like OneNote does its own
indexing with WDS3 but Vista 64 bit wont install WDS 3. Is there a way
to index using Vista's inbuilt indexing? I am happy for it to return a
file and when that file is returned to open and search in OneNote. I
thought OneNote and WDS would be a solution for unified storage and
searching but it seems not.

Shoud I bother with trying Vista 32 bit?

I am very familiar with the WDS 2 versions but I thought V3 was built
into Vista?

Very confusing.

Thanks.

WDS 3 is actually the backport of Vista's indexing service to XP. So you
don't need to install it.
Can you search from within OneNote after having let OneNote open for at
least an entire night?
I think being able to search with the search UI outside of ON is not
implemented yet in B2.

This will be improved in future releases. Right now there are internal
builds which supported x64 indexing with x64 Vista & 32-bit OneNote.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Daniel, Does the 32bit version of Vista B2 handle OneNote?

I have the same issue using Public Beta 2 64-bit Vista and Public Beta 2
32-bit Office 2007 OneNote. Will the ON index feature just not work for now?
Can I do anything at this time in response to ON's message requesting an
install of WDS? Would I gain functionality by dropping back to Vista 32-bit?

Thanks

I just won't work for now.
