Ease of refining search with intitle: function
Gazumped,
I value your opinion on this feature request, which would cross all clients, and I am not sure where best to post, since I do not use beta, but use Evernote several hours per day. I understand the above request, but would like to also suggest simple steps to improve an already amazing tool.
In all clients, Chomebook/Browser (Web), ios/ipad, android/tablet, Win/Mac Desktop I find myself "very often" needing to type "intitle:" in front of searches, either to start a search, or after typing a keyword or two and finding the need to filter with intitle: necessary. I type a bit too fast, and when in a hurry, and mis-type (intile:, inttile:, or forgetting the : etc), if you also use this you may relate.
I try to organize notes with keywords in the Title. Tags are nice, but searching by use of tags to refine the subset of All Notes, takes far too many keystrokes, so more often I use the intitle: function to further refine a search throughout All Notes quickly right within the search I just typed. This should make sense if you use it alot.
I have tried using Saved Search with only intitle:(no spaces after), which has promise and is my current goto, but in some clients, ios/android or touch screen, and in web client there are odd issues. I could go on about that approach, the same saved search fails to be practical on Chromebook, iPad
What I am looking for is some easy way to insert intitle: to the left of whatever you have just type, or at the cursor, before or after you hit enter. If you do use Saved Search this way, clicking the search icon (left margin) does let you edit again last entry, and often I find all I ready wanted was to now insert intitle: to further refine the last search.
One approach, I am envisioning is an icon to the left of the existing sort options icon. This icon could offer other search functions, but in simplest for I would like 1-2 keystroke or "touch" to insert intitle: at the beginning (if blank), and if you already had typed a seach, clicking the intitle: icon would properly insert the function at the beginning of the keywords already typed in the search box, even if you had not yet hit enter on keyword(s) in the search box.
I believe the developers would have an approach and ideally find the best implementation
Icon with dropdown? intitle: being one selection (2 keystrokes) or allow shortcut keystroke assignment for intitle: (as described) which may be the least obtrusive but I find hotkeys are difficult these days, I have two many open applications or defaults which overlap, but this one shortcut key I would remember
Perhaps icon would only appear with this assignment if selected in Advanced, other functions in addition to intitle, etc. I probably have thought way to much about this in the last couple of years, and am taking too much time trying to best describe what I have been hoping to see.
I am definitely open to best implementation since I believe it could solve something for me and others that could be of considerable value. Thanks for your advice and support on whether this is already being considered and please advise on where a request like this is best posted.
