The IBM Lotus Notes Plug-in for Google 28 Desktop indexes mail, calendar, task, contact and journal 29 documents from Notes. Discussion documents including those from 30 the discussion and team room templates can also be indexed by 31 selecting an option from the preferences. Once indexed, this data 32 will be returned in Google Desktop searches. The corresponding 33 document can be opened in Lotus Notes from the Google Desktop 34 results page. 35 36 Install: The plug-in will install automatically during the Google 37 Desktop setup process if Lotus Notes is already installed. Lotus 38 Notes must not be running in order for the install to occur. The 39 Class ID for this plug-in is {8F42BDFB-33E8-427B-AFDC-A04E046D3F07}. 40 41 Preferences: Preferences and selection of databases to index are 42 set in the 'Google Desktop for Notes' dialog reached through the 43 'Actions' menu. 44 45 Reindexing: Selecting 'Reindex all databases' will index all the 46 documents in each database again. 47 48 49 Notes Plug-in Known Issues 50 --------------------------- 51 52 If the 'Google Desktop for Notes' item is not available from the 53 Lotus Notes Actions menu, then installation was not successful. 54 Installation consists of writing one file, notesgdsplugin.dll, to 55 the Notes application directory and a setting to the notes.ini 56 configuration file. The most likely cause of an unsuccessful 57 installation is that the installer was not able to locate the 58 notes.ini file. Installation will complete if the user closes Notes 59 and manually adds the following setting to this file on a new line: 60 AddinMenus=notesgdsplugin.dll 61 62 If the notesgdsplugin.dll file is not in the application directory 63 (e.g., C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes) after Google Desktop 64 installation, it is likely that Notes was not installed correctly. 65 66 Only local databases can be indexed. If they can be determined, 67 the user's local mail file and address book will be included in the 68 list automatically. Mail archives and other databases must be 69 added with the 'Add' button. 70 71 Some users may experience performance issues during the initial 72 indexing of a database. The 'Perform the initial index of a 73 database only when I'm idle' option will limit the indexing process 74 to times when the user is not using the machine. If this does not 75 alleviate the problem or the user would like to continually index 76 but just do so more slowly or quickly, the GoogleWaitTime notes.ini 77 value can be set. Increasing the GoogleWaitTime value will slow 78 down the indexing process, and lowering the value will speed it up. 79 A value of zero causes the fastest possible indexing. Removing the 80 ini parameter altogether returns it to the default (20). 81 82 Crashes have been known to occur with certain types of history 83 bookmarks. If the Notes client seems to crash randomly, try 84 disabling the 'Index note history' option. If it crashes before, 85 you can get to the preferences, add the following line to your 86 notes.ini file: 87 GDSNoIndexHistory=1 88
