I have installed the RTM version of office 2010 and surprisingly have found that while OneNote entries appear on a Windows search (“See More Results screen”), clicking on them does nothing. The registry seems to be correct in that it contains the root entries you have noted.

I double checked and it’s still working for me. Not sure why it might have slipped out of whack on your system.

One thought is that the final code for Office 2010 is coming soon. If you’re planning to go ahead and upgrade, maybe wait until then. I have a meeting with Microsoft to see the final on April 26; I expect it will ship shortly after that (May 15?).

After fixing the original problem (not being able to open a OneNote search entry from the Win 7 search window) earlier this year with the above instructions , the issue reappeared. The Registry contains all of the correct entries per the above, yet no ON entries are clickable. Why all of a sudden this changed, I do not know.

Would a re-install of Office 2010 Beta be warranted?

Yes, I see that ‘oneindex14://…’ entry, too. I couldn’t figure out a way to fix it, so I just don’t worry about it for now.

I can also confirm that all my OneNote file types are set to “index properties only” in my Advanced settings. The OneNote search component must be doing something separate to get its results.

Neil – I may have solved the issue about OneNote entries not showing up in a search: in search properties/Advanced/file types for the OneNote entry ‘one’ I had clicked “index properties and file contents” based on something I had read earlier that might have solved the OneNote indexing issue. So just for the hell of it, I changed it back to the default “index properties only” and now OneNote entries are appearing in a search.

One thing that is happening that is somewhat strange is that I am still seeing in the Modify/Change Selected Locations an entry for ‘oneindex14://S-1-5….’. I had previously deleated that because the pop-up message indicated that this location is currently unavailable and to uncheck it. And so has reappeared. I don’t know if this may be the reason I’m starting to see OneNote entries in a search. As such I’m hesitant to delete it a 2nd time.

Niel – Thanks. I have implemented this hack (also running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Office 2010 Beta). I noted there were other keys involving ONFILTER.DLL. Should they still be in the registry?

Also – I noted that no OneNote entries were being picked up in a search that should have found OneNote items. Hmm. Before finding your fix, OneNote entries were being found, but upon clicking the item found, I would receive a error dialog saying Win could not find Oneindex14…..

I have re-indexed just to be certain. Will post back.
