How to fix broken search in Microsoft OneNote 2010

 

One of the best features in OneNote is the search capability. When it quit working today, it was quite frustrating. After doing a few Google searches and coming up empty, I looked at the Windows 7 search settings. Nothing appeared to be incorrect. OneNote would only search on the currently selected page. I decided to delete the cache file and let OneNote recreate it. After troubleshooting for 45 minutes this did the trick in the matter of a few seconds.

The cache file is typically found in the: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\14.0

With OneNote closed, using Windows Explorer go to that folder, find the OneNoteOfflineCache.onecache file and either rename it, move it or delete it.  I usually recommend renaming it so that if this fix doesn't work and you decide you want to you can always rename it back.

Intrepid Visit

I had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours touring the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on Feb. 16. This was my first tour of an aircraft carrier. Even though the weather was rainy, it was worth the time and money. If anyone is in NY and has a few hours I highly recommend taking the tour.

9/11 Memorial

I had the privilege of spending some time at the 9/11 Memorial today. The memorial is an excellent tribute to those murdered on 9/11. I haven’t been to ground zero in several years. Today like all my previous visits was a somber experience.

If you are in NY City, I recommend taking the time to see the memorial and pay your respects.

Dinner at Carmine’s

I just got back to the hotel after dinner at Carmine’s in Times Square. Carmine’s is one of my favorite restaurants. I’ve not been there in a couple of years – so good to get back. The food and service was fantastic. Hopefully it won’t be two years until my next visit.

Golf is Over for Now in Rochester

Old man winter is here! The temperature dropped 30-40 degrees in the last two days and we have some snow. Hopefully it will melt away quickly if we can get some warm weather.

January Golf in Rochester, MN!!

The streak of record breaking warm weather continues in Rochester, MN. I walked 18 at Oak Summit yesterday. Considering that I hadn’t taken a swing in two weeks I was happy with my 89 – it was right at my handicap. The forecast looks like there may be a couple of more days of golf this week.

IBM’s Watson to Help Doctor’s Diagnose, Treat Cancer

I ran across a good article on Watson this morning.

Pheasant Sandwich

If you are from South Dakota or have ever hunted Pheasants in that great state, you will want to watch the video below to discover where and how the "Pheasant Sandwich" became famous during WW II!!

This is a good video of the Aberdeen, SD rail road station during WW II and what took place there......watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoqe_JEEeY

Happy New Year!

Winter is here in Rochester. A cold front came through last night – it feels much more like January today.

The Ice Hawks maintained their undefeated record for New Year’s Eve games. It took a dominating third period to secure the win. The Hawks were down 3 – 0 before finding their stride.

My SSD RAID array failed yesterday and I’m in the process of rebuilding an image on a traditional drive. I must rethink my disaster recovery procedure after this event. Once I’m back up and running I’ll work with OCZ on drive replacements.

Have a prosperous 2012!
