WDS Doesn't Find OneNote Text

[Tier 3 Questions]

I just finished reading a blog by Daniel Escapa that indicates that OneNote
does get indexed by Windows Desktop Search (WDS). I use Windows Vista on two
machines, each configured to use the entire index. Further, on both systems,
the computer properties are set to search the entire index.

Still, the onenotepages do not seem to show up in desktop search queries.
am not seeing those folders even listed in the Indexing Options page. How do
I add the OneNote folder to the list of indexed items? My OneNote files are
on a network drive and I don't see a way to add a network folder to the
index. Am I correct that this is not possible?

It's possible with an add-in. See if this discussion helps:

Great link. Thank you. This installed successfully on both my laptop and
desktop. On my desktop, it seems to have exposed the network drive and is
indexing at the moment.

On my laptop, the "Show All Locations" button seems to be disabled, so I
cannot locate the network drive in order to enable the folders that I wish to
be indexed. Any additional thoughts?
