Microsoft is rolling out today the December OneNote update to Fast Insiders, which brings a digital ruler and an enhanced search feature to the note-taking app (via Neowin.). The new features are being rolled out gradually, so not everyone will be seeing them at first. Here is the changelog for the update:

Set things straight: On touch screens, use the virtual ruler on the Draw tab to draw straight lines and measure distance. Rotate to a specific angle with the help of the angle indicator.

Speedy search: Search just got faster! Your search results now appear instantaneously, making it easier to get back to your notes.

As is routine, you can expect Microsoft to roll out these features to everyone before the end of this month. For now, though, only Windows Insiders will get to bask in the glory of this minor update.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
