  2. Click the arrow next to Find Button image, and then do one of the following:
    • To search for notes only in the section that is currently open, click Current Section.
    • To search for notes only in the folder that is currently open, click Current Folder.

    • To search all of your notes, click My Entire Notebook.
  3. Click Find Button image.

    If one or more instances of the text is found, the total number of instances appears in the toolbar area.

  5. To review the list of pages that contain the text, click View List, and then do any of the following in the Page List task pane:
    • To open a specific page that contains the text, click the title of the page.
    • To sort the list of pages in a different way, click the option that you want in the Sort list by list.
    • To change the scope of the search, click the option that you want in the Search list.

Notes

  • By default, Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 does not search folders and sections that are stored in remote locations, such as shared folders on a network, because it can result in slower searches. To include remote folders or sections when you search, click Options on the Tools menu, and then in the Category list in the Options dialog box, click Other. Clear the Enhance search performance by skipping shortcuts to sections and folders that are stored remotely check box.
  • The scope that you select for one search automatically applies to all subsequent searches of your notes. For example, if you select Current Folder, and you later want to search all of your notes, you must select My Entire Notebook before you search.

ShowFind recently written notes

  1. On the View menu, click Page List.
  2. In the Search list in the Page List task pane, click My entire notebook.
  3. In the Sort list by list, click Date.

ShowBrowse pages you recently viewed

On the Standard toolbar, do any of the following:

  • To open the last page that you viewed, click Back Button image.
  • To open the page that you viewed before clicking Back Button image, click Forward Button image.
  • To open one of the last few pages that you viewed, click the arrow next to Back Button image or Forward Button image, and then click the title of the page that you want.
