The future of OneNote

Right, the new Onenote doesn’t allow local save. Will it ever? Seems like a no.

If I am able to put 10+ gigabytes in there, in a dozen notebooks, 100+ sections, 10,000+ pages, with thousands of images scattered throughout, will I be able to type in a search and get all the results - sometimes hundreds - in well under a second, highlighted in the page outline, and sorted or limited in various ways? Will I be able to click on any result and see the corresponding page in, again, much less than a second?

The answer is surely no.

Can I do that right now, with Onenote 2010 on the desktop? Yes.

To me, the amazing speed and search, even at scale, it’s OneNote’s most compelling feature, by far.
