RELEASE CANDIDATE
What's Changed - Full Text Search Indexing, Perfect Snippets, Link Healing
This is a major update that changes how OneMore searches your notebooks and keeps track of hashtags, favorites, window layouts, and My Reading List pages. It makes these features more reliable, but it also changes your OneMore.db data. And it vastly improves how it saves and restores custom My Snippets, providing fidelity with original content and includes new macro expansions.
What’s new
- Smarter snippets. Near-pixel-perfect duplication of content including headings and table styles, plus over a dozen new macros like
COUNTER,PROMPTandQUARTER. And, drum roll please… You can now edit snippets! - Instant search (optional). Turn on the full-text index in the installer or in Settings > Search Index. Hint: bind it to
Ctrl+Eto replace OneNote’s built-in search. - Rock-solid links. Favorites, layouts, and hashtag searches keep working after restarts and after pages are moved, renamed, or re-dated. Incrementally loading notebooks are handled gracefully and window layout that can't be restored are given clearer explanations.
Good to know
- If you chose not to enable full text search in the installer, you can enable it in Settings, where you can also choose to build the index now (minutes) rather than waiting for it to complete incrementally in the background (hours).
- Hashtags may take a while to appear in search on large collections while they rebuild after install.
- Pages in locked sections are skipped and identical copies of a page in the same section can’t always be told apart.
- Rolling back to 7.5.0? First, restore the OneMore.db database from the backup created by the installer; otherwise hashtags and saves may break.
See the OneMore user guide at onemoreaddin.com and a list of recently updated pages on the About page.
