Erol 4 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hello all, just started using evernote and already hit a limitation? I hope not I'm in the situation where I need to find notes that simply contain the sequence of letters I enter in the search field. E.g. I enter "top" in the search, but notes that include the words like "Laptop" oor "abctopabc" don't get listed. I can't figure out how to enter that syntax. Thanks for your help! Erol Link to comment

Evernote search only acts on leading text; i.e. words beginning with "top" The full documentation is here Evernote Search Grammar Link to comment
hotlk1 1 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 This is a must have future, for example we keep there invoices that start with IN0000000000074886 and usually I would just search for 74886, but evernote would not find the note, when I look for it mannually the 74886 are marked in yellow. This would be a very helpful future. Link to comment

Evernote hasn't given an indication of changing their search indexing My solution is to put critical information into the title, and do intitle: searches So in your example, the title would include 74886 Link to comment

Hope this comes as future functionality. Link to comment
