What I want to know is; where the hell do I send the ‘clipped coupon’ and payment for a Decoder Ring – and do you accept American Express????

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?

The receptionist actually said ‘decant’ and ‘receptacle’? This is the kind of generation you get when you don’t let children play outdoors.

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.
