Hastag search in all notebooks I have access to.

Problem to Solve

I couldn't work out why my hashtags weren't showing up in my search till I opened the OneMore.DB.

It looks like it only scans My notebooks (personal or Work) and not ones shared with me.

It is really important that it scans all ones I have access to (as in opened on this PC) OR at least gives me the option. 5 of us own our own notebooks, but share them and I started using hashtags as reviewer comments etc #TODO_JAC:2407:JAC:02/07/2024 Great page.

When users action them they coment and change them to #Done_JAC. So we have a workflow of someone creates todo's and someone clears them once all actioned.

I thought it was a bug, but it looks like it is by design. Can it be changed?

Also for clarity, does the hastag_notebook table hold all notebooks scanned or only ones where there is 1 or more hit? I would actually be interested in a build of OM that logged all notebooks, section and pages to a) check performance and b) give me a really cheap / poor mans inventory of pages.

Hi Jason. Were the shared notebooks added to your open collection after the initial hashtag scan? The scanner does not implicitly include new notebooks that you've added because of the new scheduling feature that tries to defer load on the system until off-hours. So you can schedule a scan (or immediately) to include these new notebooks.

If the notebooks have always been open in your instance of OneNote, then yes, it may be something that needs investigating.

• Notebooks open after initial scan: I don't think so, this was a new laptop and I think I opened them all up before the initial scan had a chance to run. It seems too much of a coincidence that they are all ones that are shared with me that are missing.
• I've just set the scan running now and will see what it comes back with.
• I noticed a typo on the run scan (san).
• Also on this Dell running at 100% scaling 1920 x 1080, the box at the bottom with the notebooks has some scrolling drawing redrawing issues (corruption of the writing).

• hashtag search - I need to do more checking, it might be that since i swapped over from TODO to #TODO that there aren't any in those other Notebooks. I just added one to one of the shared ones, did scan now just for their notebook and it found it.

• More research required.

• scrolling back up in the schedule hashtag

• Additional - when I did a search, selected all, clicked index. The last opened ON form disappeared and i thought it has crashed that ON. about a minute later it popped up with the screen to select where to put the new page. I assume it is becuase I have a lot of notebooks, sections - can you maybe not remove the search screen till the destination screen is built.

Just for clarity. There is the initial scan after install of OneMore, then does it do a full scan every so often or from then on it is every few minutes, but it will only check pages that have been modified since the last scan?

What are the rules on which notebooks get scanned on the incremental scan?

• if a new notebook
• If I open a notebook I haven't opened for a while / ever
• if someone else changes a notebook I have had open.....
