Onenote 2007 now only finds search terms in the open section, not in other
sections, section groups or notebooks. I can search on a term in an open
section and ON finds it. When I switch to another section or section group,
ON responds that it found "0 matches" & offers a number of unhelpful
suggestions, like check spelling, etc., even though it found the same term
when the relevant section was open.

I am running Vista Business 32 bit. I have rebuilt the index in WDS 4.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Could it be that you just did not specify where to search?

Try the little down-arrow on the right side of the search-field.

I've tried all of the options available through the down arrow.

You might try run a repair.

I tried help/office diagnostics, which did not help. Is "repair" something
else &, if so, where do I find that? Thanks.

I think he means repairing the Windows Desktop Search index.

I had rebuilt the index - it said completed after indexing 14,000+ items.
Now when I checked (no having rebuit index again, yet), it says completed
after indexing 104,000+ items. Now, it searches & finds items on remote
sections/groups/notebooks.

Thanks

Thanks fir the feedback.
Glad to hear that it now works.

I too am running into this problem. Onenote only finds search items in open
notebooks, not closed notebooks. I have rebuilt the Windows Desktop Search
index thru the control panel, but still no luck. Actual message is "Onenote
found 0 matches in all notebooks". How do I get the search function to work
on my Onenote notebooks? Thanks

I fixed the problem. I had moved the Onenote folder to my documents, as well
as moving my documents to a different volume. I modified the search
locations in Windows Search 4.0, the index was rebuilt, and now all is
working fine.

Thanks,
