seebee 26 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I am unsure how to enter a correct search to get specific results. ie If I am looking for a note with 'king furniture' in it, the results come back with other notes containing the word 'worKING'. How would I specify a search only this note? I have tried king + furniture as well, with no difference. Thank you in advance. Chris Link to comment

Gever Note 0 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I continue to have problems with exact searches. For example. I just searched for "AT&T". Instead of finding the half a dozen notes pertaining to AT&T, I get hundreds of notes that contain "at" anywhere in the note. I searched for "Van", and I get a ton of results from words that include van anywhere in the word like ,"advance," "vance," to any notes that simply have a "V" in it. And then I have a bunch that don't contain "van" or "v" at all, and more that misidentify hand written words as "van" when it's not even close. I thought the quotes meant it would search for exactly what's inside the quotation marks in it's entirety. This is really driving me crazy. Help! Link to comment

You can’t search specifically for “AT&T”, it becomes a search for “AT T” Link to comment

seebee 26 Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yes, exact phrases should have inverted commas at both ends. Link to comment
