Is there any way to get Google Desktop Search to index Microsoft OneNote data?

I have recently started using Microsoft OneNote, and I like many things about it.

However, Google Desktop Search does not seem to be aware of stuff stored there.

Is there any way to get Google Desktop Search to index Microsoft OneNote data?

I've tried the obvious:

1 - Searched for a plugin here

2 - Saw others complaining about the issue here

3 - Asked Google about it


Solution 1:

You could try the IFilterShop plugin which let's GDS work with installed Microsoft iFilters (which are used by Windows Indexing Service).

Download and install the MS Office 2007 filter pack which includes OneNote filters and then install IFilterShop.

N.B. I haven't tried this myself... so good luck.
