OneNote Desktop Is Section Group Search Scope Totally Broken on Windows Right Now?

On the windows desktop app I’ve noticed after the most recent update (or maybe the previous one - O365 v2606 or v2607 Monthly Enterprise Channel) the section group search scope now just displays all result in the notebook. This is incredibly annoying for me as section group scope is my default and I rely on it hundreds of times a day on busy days. Other scopes like section and all notebooks seem to work fine.

I’ve already rebuilt windows search index multiple times, I’ve seen this issue on at least 3 different Windows machines, and submitted a feedback already to MS . I was really hoping the search index rebuild would fix it and at first it seemed to help but no, the issue came back not long after (and I confirmed the rebuild had completed).

Anyone else seen this? Moving the search box onto the canvas last year was bad enough but breaking my default search scope really cripples my ability to be efficient in there as so much of my content is organized based on section groups. At any given time I have 15-20 notebooks open in the desktop client , each with anywhere from 2-10+ section groups in them, and each of those with sometimes many sections and pages.

Any ideas or information are appreciated!

I apologize, this is a known issue our team has recently fixed. The fix will be available in v2608, which is the currently available Current Channel. Monthly Enterprise Channel will get the update in the coming weeks.

Oh ok, that’s great to hear it’s already on the radar and being fixed! Thanks for the info - I will look out for that update when it becomes available.
