I would not expect that functionality to return - It seems to clear to me that the direction of travel is to the so-called cloud

You’re probably right, though if Microsoft is committed to cloud storage as the default for OneNote, it’d be nice to have an option for parallel local storage.

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.

Good question about search performance from the cloud. I wonder if Microsoft follows discussions such as this one, and would be prepared to answer your question.
Just out of curiosity, what are you using OneNote for?
