Bad day for Mac Notes users
Tags: Notes Mac
The searching capability is one of the strengths of the Notes client. Full-text index over a hugh database and searching within attached documents is what customers like and what they use. For me it's one of the core functionalities and the one all the Outlook users envy.
And when I installed the beta 2 of Notes 8.5 on my Mac and recognized the trouble with searching attached documents, I was sure IBM will fix this until the final release. But it seems they won't: "It will be fixed in 9."
The Notes client on Mac won't have working searching capabilities for attachments on local replica's until version 9! There's only one workaround: searching on server replica's will work also from a Mac client. Disappointing.

I have to say, I can't believe that v9 was the answer - this must be escalated to make it into 8.5.1 at the latest.

So i still have to wait with a switch on my business notebook...
IMHO it is not acceptable at all!

The notes client on Mac has only recently become usable. Not functional yet, by a long stretch.
I just dump all me databases on the servers, and search them there.
My expectations are lower than a toilet door.
