Hi Insiders-

There is updated search functionality in the latest Insider Fast update of OneNote for Mac that many people have been asking for; view this thread Mac: search fortags.To get the update, go to Help > Check for Updates, and opt into the Insiders program and choose the Fast updates. If you have Insiders Fast builds 16.18.0 (18091900), or newer, you should see the feature.

We would love to receive feedback from you multiple times.  We want to hear your initial impressions, but we would also like to hear from you after you have used it for a week to understand if your initial dislikes/likes stayed the same or switched after you used it for an extended period of time.

There are 2 ways to send us feedback. 

  1. Please click the Smiley-face button in the top corner of the OneNote window
  2. Tell us what you are experiencing on this Answers Forum thread

Thanks

Denise, Microsoft OneNote Team

    Hi Denise,

    Apologies for the delay - here's the two screenshots requested showing a tag on a deleted page showing up  in the search results. And then that page in the Deleted Notes section.

    Thanks,

    Ben

    Ben--

    Can we get some details from you to help us investigate this issue?  This may be a bug.  Please don't include any PII in screenshots.  If you do not want to post here, let me know and I can private message you to get the information.

    Can you show 2 screenshots --

    (1) the results pane showing the deleted pages in the results

    (2) the recycle bin contents showing the deleted page in the recycle bin

    Denise, OneNote Team

    Ben-

    Thank you for the feedback on search and release notes.  I've talked to the team that is responsible for Release Notes.  I appreciate the feedback on search and have logged it.  If you have more feedback on tag or page searches, and having tag suggestions in the search drop-down, I would love to hear them.

    Thanks for this update, this feature work really well for me. Perfect!

    Suggestion: It currently catches tags in deleted pages too. Would be good to not do this by default and perhaps have an option to search tags within deleted pages. Usually, when you delete a page it means you're done with it.

    As an aside, please update your release notes for insider builds. All the other office apps tell you what is changed in each build, Onenote is the only one which has apparently changed nothing in the last 5 releases! When I saw the update and clicked through to see what was new I couldn't tell this great feature had been added, it was only through this forum that I found out. Release notes are very valuable!

    Thanks,

    Ben.
