Hey Daniel. Good idea but the folks at GBM are reporting it's not UMPC-friendly at 800x480 any chance for supporting that resolution?

Josh - Yes sadly it seemed to be hard coded, that is why this is a powertoy since it isn't as polished as most things Microsoft officially releases. Sorry about that but alas..."AS IS" BTW sorry to be unhelpful but there is really all I can do. Otherwise I hope it works well...take care.

Just last week I was looking for Search and Replace. I couldn't find it. I started to blog about it and was going to ping you with a big, old, WHY CAN'T I SEARCH AND REPLACE? I got a little distracted with other work and didn't send it yet. Great timing and nice to find this now!

Now I can delete that draft post. :)

After I install it, I don't see any new button in OneNote. I just uninstalled and reinstalled it just to make sure I didn't do anything wrong. There's a folder in my Programs directory called "OneNote Search and Replace" with files such as an icon, dll and an executable. I just can't figure out how to get the button in OneNote.

I installed it and it just says Search Failed no matter what I try to search for and what options I set. OneNote2007...

Same problem as Joel. Installed it on OneNote 2007 on Vista Business and no matter what I try searching for, I get a "Search failed".

Some other people have reported that if you never installed Desktop search 3.0 you get "search failed". Maybe that solves it?

This is great! I am among those avid OneNote users who missed the original posts about these powertoys. Thanks for the repost, and keep up the great work!

Like several others, when I press the Preview button I get a "Search Failed" message. Pressing the Replace button does nothing. This is on OneNote 2007 12.0.4518.1014, running under XP SP2.

You Have to install Windows Desktop Search for this PowerToy to work. I was having the "Search Failed" error consistently now matter what I searched for, but installed the WDS fixed that.

The PowerToy works perfectly now.

Get Windows Desktop Search for XP at the URl below:

Hello.

I find this very useful but with large notebooks, and maybe it's a Vista thing, but I can search for text but all that happens is that the Vista cursor changes to loading (spinning circle) and then the list name appears.

After that the cursor still spins and the program state changes to 'Not responding' and I cannot do anything apart from quit the program or restart my PC.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Ian

This is such a great idea. The ability to be able to use search and replace in Onenote will save me a great deal of time and trouble.

Unfortunately it just doesn't work for me. I have installed in Xp on both my desktop and laptop, with OneNote 2007 on both, and Desktop Search 3. The icon appears in OneNote as advertised, but if I click on it the icon becomes greyed out and no box (as described in step 4) appears. Nothing happens.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, and whether there is a solution. This is one tool I really would like to have.

Many Thanks

I have the same problem -- the icon greys out after I click it. Then nothing happens.

This is a wonderful addition to onenote. Used on several computers. Absolutely no bugs and works well.

Why in the seven portals of the Gaia Goddess of the Lunar Palace of Antiqua did Microsoft NOT INCLUDE FIND & REPLACE IN ONENOTE?????? I thought it was supposed to be FUNCTIONAL software i.e. useful???

I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out where the function was - and to make matters worse, they don't even think to mention it in the Help files! Argh!

Thanks very much for this PowerToy - I do appreciate your work - but Microsoft should be making a fully functional and supported version for OneNote! Plus, I don't want to install Windows Desktop Search so I suspect this isn't going to work for me anyway...

I can't believe Microsoft - once again defying all logic and common sense.

I am a very sleep deprived 2nd year law student trying to organize my outlines for my two remaining finals. I was just so frustrated at having to go through hundreds of pages of notes to format every "Rule:" that showed up individually. If I could send hugs or cookies via the net, you would have lots and lots (especially since that's pretty much all I can afford these days ;)). I just wanted to comment here and say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you... THANK YOU! Stress meter slowly receding from red zone.... you saved me from having a real life BSOD. :)

RESOLVED! Grayed out OneNote Search and Replace Button

John Rea-Hedrick — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 00:23:05 GMT

I had the same issue trying to use the Search and Replace add-in (grays out when clicked - nothing happens)

I went back into my Office installtion setup and noticed that .NET Programmability Support was not installed. Just for good measure I also installed Microsoft Forms 2.0 .NET Programmability Support.

Worked like a charm!

I launched OneNote and clicked the button; the form window popped right up. I didn't even have to reboot or go dig out my Office 2007 installation media!

Great powertoy - thanks!

One suggestion: Could 'Selection' be added to the scope option so you can replace only within highlighted/selected text on a page?

Thanks!

Daniel,

Do you happen to have the source code? The search/replace doesn't seem to work well with a "complex" notebook of mine and I wouldn;t mind debugging it...

Thanks,

Milver

I am having the same problem as Julie above and I noticed no one responded to her. I have Windows desktop 4.0, I even tried to downgrade to 3.0 but that did not help. After I run the setup of search and replace, I am not seeing any new toolbar in One Note. If anyone could walk me through a suggestion, it would be very helpful

Amanda — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:57:24 GMT

Ok I finally figured it out. I had to check windows for updates (which I had set for automatic but because I use Mozilla and not Internet Explorer were not working) and once my windows updates were installed, I re-installed find and replace and it worked. It is a lifesaver because I am studying for the NYS Bar and my outline had one huge error. Thanks

This plugin does not play well with Outlook 2010 Beta.

1. Icon is scrambled looking

2. No ribbon support except as a weird purple button under "add-ins" (I expected this)

3. No quick access toolbar support (surprised to find this!)

4. Even with whole word matching disabled, it won't find a word-within-a-word.

5. Preview is hardly that. It's just a bullet list. Navigate to section seems to work intermittently.

It's pretty surprising that such a basic standard feature of basically every text-entry system on the face of the earth (including Notepad and even this little text box embedded on a web page) is absent from RTM OneNote! I can't believe this requires a powertoy.

Please, please add this to Outlook 2010 RTM!
