The index service is not indexing the text within the sticky notes. I have plenty of notes but when I search with the search connector-Microsoft I do not get any results, even if I know that this word I am searching for, exists in the notes.

Any help?

I haven't tested it, but one possible way: start --> type index --> click index options. Click advanced --> filetype --> add --> add .snt filetype --> Click "index properties and file contents --> OK --> close ...give it a try. – CreeDorofl Apr 6 '11 at 11:18

Click Start → Type index → Click on Indexing options → Modify → In Change Selected Locations uncheck the Windows Sticky Notes and click OK.

Then click again on Modify and recheck the Windows Sticky Notes.

It is not a permanent solution, but all notes made to this moment will be indexed. Repeating this procedure once in a while you will have all notes indexed. Let me know if you found another solution.
