More MacBook experiences

Probably the most impressive aspect of NoteSuite is the exceptionally good search function - very quick, and like Acrobat, gives you hits within a document. You have to use it twice (first to isolate the files with the word you want, second to find the word in a selected file), but it’s fast. But this is on the iPad - weirdly enough, the desktop version doesn’t have as much functionality in this respect; the ‘all notes’ search function will find the same pages, for example (including web pages), but the ‘Search in this note’ function doesn’t work on web pages, whereas it does on the iPad. Somewhat surprising.

On the iPad, I love the way it offers to import web pages copied to the clipboard for you. On the desktop, it installs a web clipper in Safari (works better than OneNote’s rather irritating web page screenshots, but doesn’t always preserve formatting very well. The web page formatting king is still Notebooks), and you also have the option of installing a menu bar item. So: bit of a mixed bag.
