Hands On 1 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I'm wanting to create a search of any notes where the title starts with an exclamation mark. I have notes with !.15 for example. Using intitle:! doesn't bring up those notes. I'm thinking it might have something to do with no space after "!" in the title. Can anyone help? Any ideas? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,517 Posted October 6, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi. "!" is not a searchable character. Basically anything other than letters, numbers and underlines could be a 'control' character limiting or extending the search, so is (apart from valid control characters) ignored. From How to use Evernote's advanced search syntax ... any: Searches for notes that match any of the search terms listed. Without this operator, Evernote search will return only those notes that match all of the specified search terms. any: pizza beer will return all notes containing either "pizza" or "beer" (removing this operator would return only notes containing "pizza" and "beer"). So you could search for any: intitle:15 intitle:17 etc... Link to comment

I have notes with !.15 for example As you’ve been told, punctuation characters are excluded from the search index (except for _) As a workaround, sort your notes by title; your ! notes will be at the top Link to comment
