Vista 64 and Searching

It appears that the 64bit version of Vista 64 build 5472 has limited searching facilities. OneNote 2007 for example appears not be be indexed at all even in the application. Searching is important to me so I want to get a bit of a feeling whether I should drop down to 32 bit version? Is 64 Bit Vista development going to behind the 32 bit version in areas for some time?

Agent86oz,

Let me check with the OneNote team and see if I can get more information. I know that OneNote developed a specific IFilter to work with the search features in Vista and I'll have to see if development on that IFilter differs between 32 and 64 bit.

Ok Paul I have had on win. The WDS 3 B2 allows searching all notebooks in OneNote 2007 under XP 64 bit. I still can not see a solution to Vista 64 bit indexing of OneNote. Am I missig something or am I impatient :-) I use Google Desktop Search as it can index files on the server, something I can not work out in Windows Desktop Search. Too many choices hey ;-)

Sorry to hear that. The Vista Release Candidate should include the search updates that were in WDS 3.0b2. In addition, we are hoping to release a UNC protocol handler for 3.0beta 2 in the very near future. If you run 3.0 b2 on XP64 and wait on the new protocol handler you should be able to get all of the functionality you are looking for. It may take a tad longer to iron out some of the issues in Vista.
