Get Social Do Business - Our use of LotusLive Notes
IBM Champion Lisa Duke invited me to talk on this week's Get Social Do Business podcast about our experiences using LotusLive for our normal business operations as well as testing our EZ Notes Search product. Thanks Lisa!
EZ Notes Search and Notes 8.5.3 Work Well Together
With the release of IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.3, EZ Notes Search users can now use the Windows Search option inside of Notes to search their local mail, archives, contacts and other databases as well as their local files simultaneously using a simple to use search interface. Of course, EZ Notes Search users can still use the standard Windows Search user interfaces as well which will also provide you with the ability to preview your Notes documents and attachments.
To use Windows Search in Notes, select Windows Search from the Search drop down menu:
Then enter your query and hit enter and you will get search results from your hard drive as well as from your mail, archives and databases:
Once you find the document, simply double click on the item and it will be opened for you in Notes.
A video demonstration of EZ Notes Search is available on YouTube.
You can download a trial version and can purchase EZ Notes Search on NotesConnectors.com
EZ Notes Search: Server Mail Edition Now Available
With the release of EZ Notes Search V2.1, we have added a new product to our product family which enables IBM Lotus Notes users to search their email using Microsoft Windows Search without the need to have a local replica database.
EZ Notes Search: Server Mail Edition is ideal for LAN based PCs where you don't want to keep a full text index on the IBM Lotus Domino server.
The user will get these standard EZ Notes Search features:
We have a trial version of EZ Notes Search: Server Mail available. Please use this form to request the trial edition.

Search both Outlook and Notes in one search
We had an interesting use case from a customer. The customer used both Outlook and Notes to access different mail systems and wanted to be able to search both in one query. This can be done with EZ Notes Search and Windows Search.
The customer also wanted to be able to limit their search to either Notes or Outlook for some queries. They found you can filter your search results through the use of a query filter. For example, you can add store:EZN or store:MAPI to the query if you want to only search Notes or Outlook, respectively.
Note: Corrected the above on 12/05/2011. The qualifier is supposed to be "store", not "scope".

Subject:"Windows Search" - Searching your Notes applications can be this simple
With Windows Search (and EZ Notes Search), you can easily filter your local database searches by Subject and then preview the result.
You can also filter by To:, CC: and others. See this post for more details.
Symantec Enterprise Vault for Domino and Soft Deleted Shortcuts
Symantec Enterprise Vault is an archiving and eDiscovery tool which supports archiving content from IBM Lotus Notes and Domino mail files in addition to many other targets (Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Sharepoint, filesystems and others). Enterprise Vault has many configuration options which allow the administrator to customize the user experience. In addition to the standard out of the box user experience, it is possible to customize the end user experience in other ways.
One out of the box Enterprise Vault option has to do with what to do with the original document in the mail file once its been archived. One of the choices is to leave behind a "shortcut" message. The shortcut is a portion of the original mail message, usually with the attachments stripped off and the body shortened. Even the shortcut is configurable. The administrator can choose how many characters of the mail body to leave in the shortcut body as well as whether to provide links to the original mail message and the attachments in the archive.
Enterprise Vault for Domino provides mail template and Forms file (for iNotes/DWA) client extensions which allow for nearly seamless interaction with the archived content. For example, a user can select an archived mail message and then select a Notes or iNotes action like "Reply to All" and the Enterprise Vault software will automatically create the new draft message by seamlessly pulling the content from the Enterprise Vault and putting it into the subject, body and recipient fields of the new draft message.
If the administrator enables it, users can also delete the shortcuts and the archived content as well. If they select a shortcut mail message and then the Delete action, they will be prompted to choose between deleting the shortcut or the shortcut and the archived mail message. Once completed, these actions cannot be undone by the user. The shortcut is hard deleted and the Enterprise Vault delete operation is initiated.
We recently had a client that wanted to change the default deletion user interface. The client didn't want to prompt the user when they attempted to delete the shortcut document. They wanted to always delete both the shortcut and the Enterprise Vault archived item. In addition, the client wanted to be able to let the user change their mind after performing the delete. As a Symantec STEP partner, we developed a solution which let them achieve these goals.
We designed the software necessary (for both Notes and iNotes) so that the shortcut document is "Soft Deleted" when the user deletes it. What this means in Notes/iNotes is that it is moved into the Trash Folder when it is deleted. At the time it is moved to the Trash Folder the software also triggers a deletion of the archived mail message from the archive. The user can access the contents of the Trash folder and perform limited operations on those contents.
As I mentioned before, Enterprise Vault is highly configurable. The administrator can enable a site wide setting using the Vault Administration Console (VAC): "Allow recovery of user deleted items" and also specify the "Number of days until items are permanently deleted". When this is configured, items deleted by the user aren't really deleted from the archive immediately. Instead the item is marked for deletion for some time later. The archived item is removed from the archive's index the next time the index is updated so that if the user searches for the mail message using the Enterprise Vault search facility, the document will not appear in search results.
With the "allow recovery of user deleted items" option enabled, we are now able to allow the user to "Restore" a shortcut and the archived item that is sitting in a Trash Folder. The user interface for doing this doesn't change from the standard Notes/iNotes interface, the user selects the messages they want to Restore from trash and click on the Restore button (or Restore All).
Our software traps this Restore operation and checks to see if any of the messages to be Restored are shortcuts. For each shortcut found, a copy of the original mail message is retrieved from the archive and replaces the shortcut in the mail file. We also mark this restored message for archiving during the next scheduled archiving operation.
If the user never Restores the shortcut from the trash it will eventually be purged from their trash folder and from the archive.
As with all the Enterprise Vault client extensions, all of the software is deployed via the modified mail template and Forms files. No new software needs to be installed on the user's desktop.
This work has demonstrated the customization capabilities of Notes, iNotes and Enterprise Vault. Since companies have diverse requirements having this flexibility is important. If you would like to learn more about customizing Notes, iNotes or Enterprise Vault please feel free to contact us (jgriep at__ jgriep dot__ com).
Installing EZ Notes Search From the Command Line
It is possible to install EZ Notes Search using the command line without being prompted during the installation. To do this you must open the CMD.exe window by using the "Run as administrator" item on the right mouse menu since you must have administrative privileges to install.
The command line for the 64 bit intaller is:
msiexec /i NotesDesktopSearchConnector-x64.msi /qn ALLUSERS=""
if you want to install for just the current user or
msiexec /i NotesDesktopSearchConnector-x64.msi /qn ALLUSERS=1
if you want to install for all users (note the 1 should not be quoted).
To uninstall from the command line:
msiexec /x NotesDesktopSearchConnector-x64.msi /qn
Tip: Debugging Notes requests to the Domino server
When you need to diagnose a problem, sometimes its useful to set these two notes.ini settings:
Client_Clock=1
Debug_Console=1
after these are set, a console window will appear with information about each NRPC (Notes Remote Procedure Call) request made to the Domino server. The window also displays information about the status of the request so it can give you information about why a request may be failing. See Ask Professor Ini for more information.
Tip: Searching just your Lotus Notes data using Windows Search
If you want to search your Lotus Notes data using Windows Search, you can use "EZ Notes Search" (free trial available on http://www.notesconnectors.com/). After you install the product and index your content, you can execute a search by simply clicking the Windows Start button and start typing your query. Windows Search will immediately give you some search results:
Windows Search will show you content from Lotus Notes and your hard drive. The heading for the Lotus Notes content leaves a little to be desired, so lets change it to something a little friendlier.
To do this, click the Start button and type: Searches
Then click on the "Searches" under Programs. This will bring up a window with the list of Search Connectors that are installed on your PC.
Select the Lotus Notes one and then using the right mouse menu, click on Properties:
Now you can change the title to whatever you want. When you are done, click OK. The "Apply" button is always disabled for some reason. For this example, I changed it to "Lotus Notes".
Next, select your modified Search Connector and using the right mouse menu, Use the Send to-> Desktop (create shortcut) option. This will create a shortcut on your desktop. When you double click on it, a Search window will pop up that will allow you to search only your Lotus Notes content:
Fix: Launching Lotus Notes from Search Results
Some customers have experienced problems when they attempt to launch IBM Lotus Notes from the search results page by double clicking on an item, they get an error message box instead.
Upon investigation, we have found that the user had previously installed Microsoft's "Windows Desktop Search: Add-In for Lotus Notes". This add-in is known to cause problems with Lotus Notes versions 7.X and 8.X. Users should uninstall it when using EZ Notes Search.
To uninstall on Windows XP open the Control Panel and then open "Add or Remove Programs". Then find "Windows Desktop Search: Add-In for Lotus Notes" and click Remove.
To uninstall on Windows 7 open the Control Panel and then click on "Uninstall a program". Find "Windows Desktop Search: Add-In for Lotus Notes" and click Uninstall.
EZ Notes Search will be demonstrated at the New England Lotus User Group
On April 12, 2011 we are the vendor/sponsor for the New England Lotus User Group meeting in Waltham, MA. We will be demonstrating EZ Notes Search: Mail, Archives and Applications, our add-in which allows you to search your mail, archives, attachments and applications using Windows Search. EZ Notes Search is supported on Microsoft Windows XP, and both 32 and 64 bit editions of Microsoft Windows 7.
Using to:, from: and cc: filters with EZ Notes Search
With EZ Notes Search you can quickly find a message to a particular person. In the search box simply type to:Tom and it will find all messages to Tom. Similarly from:Tom and cc:Tom work as well. You can type a portion of their name, say To:Smi and Windows Search will match all messages with "Smi" in the To: field. All the results will appear as you are typing the string so the more characters you type, the more the results will be refined.
There are other filters you can use as well: Advanced tips for searching in Windows. EZ Notes Search V2 currently supports the following fields: System.ItemNameDisplay, System.ItemType, System.Author, System.Kind, System.Size, System.ItemFolderPathDisplayNarrow, System.DateModified, System.Message.FromName, System.Message.HasAttachments, System.IsAttachment, System.FileName, System.ItemPathDisplay, System.ParsingName, System.Calendar.Location, System.StartDate, System.EndDate, System.Message.DateReceived, System.Message.ToName, System.Message.ToAddress, System.Message.CcName, System.Message.CcAddress.
A few other examples:
startdate:today - find today's calendar items
startdate:tomorrow - find tomorrow's calendar items
startdate:12-15-2012 - find calendar items on a particular date
Uninstalling EZ Notes Search
If you need to uinstall EZ Notes Search, you should follow the steps in the ReadMe_EZNotesWindowsSearchConnector_InstallGuide_v2.0 found in the Notes directory where EZ Notes Search is installed. Here is a summary of the instructions:
