OneNote search in pages, and their title.
Results are sorted by :
– Recent
– In title
– On page
It also seek through images, as long as this option is activated (in File/Options/Advanced) and even in audio or videos (in File/Options/Audio & Video).
Use quotes to indicate you look for the exact expression within quotes (sequence of words in that order).
Use OR & AND operators to refine your query.
Smart combination of both (OR and/or quotes) will yield less numerous, more focused results : that may be especially useful if your notebook is large !
Keyboard shortcuts are :
- Ctrl + E search everywhere,
- Ctrl + F search in current page.
