Vista search problem with OneNote

[Patsachol]

Hi,

I am having difficulty with accessing Vista Desktop Search results from the
OneNote index.

In my Indexed Locations, the oneindex://... entry is present, and search
results from OneNote do appear, but they aren't links to OneNote pages. The
results appear with a blank page icon, when I hover the mouse over them, the
location is given as oneindex://....., and nothing happens when I click on
them.

It's like the results aren't associated with OneNote or the link between the
index and OneNote is not functioning.

I have tried repairing Office, resetting OneNote back to it's original state
as per KB925899, and rebuilding the Vista Search index several times now and
the results are the same. I'm running Office 2007 on Vista X64.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

The oneindex:// entries are created by OneNote's built in search
feature. You will be able to find these results and navigate directly to
them if you perform the search from within OneNote. In order to be able
to navigate to oneindex:// results from within WDS, you need the shell
search component for OneNote, which unfortunately is unavailable for
64bit Vista.

Thank you for your response Ilya.

Can you tell me if this is documented anywhere? The reason I ask is that I
don't understand why the oneindex:// is added to WDS "Indexed locations" if
it's not going to work - this makes it look broken as opposed to 'not
available'.
