(Archived) Feature Request: Ability to Search for Checkboxes

[LGV 0]

I just started to use Egretlist with Evernote for To-Do lists, projects and tasks. See http://www.mindsmomentum.com/egretlist/

Egretlist can search for all unchecked "checkboxes" so I can see what tasks remain open.

But Evernote can't! It won't even take a copy and paste of a checkbox (which would be a lame way to fix it anyway).

Evernote MUST have features like this. How can I find open tasks then? Creating and deleting Tags? Nope, no good.

Remembering Everything is great, but being really able to manage (what we're remembering) like projects, tasks and open items = EVEN BETTER.

Please add more integrated task manageability.

I LOVE EVERNOTE. YOU WILL ALWAYS GET MY $$$. BECOME MORE PROJECT/TASK/SEARCH SEXY PLEASE.

Sincerely.

LGV

Thanks BurgersNFries, the post's seem "Date Due" feature oriented.

The issue for me, is that 95% of the time I'm not using dates, the projects are lists of open/in-process/finished tasks (i.e- checked or unchecked boxes).

Dates become less useful for me because many unexpected projects get created and all priorities change instantly. Having to change all the due dates and milestones would not work well for me.

When I ask my boss, which #1 priority project I should work on, he says "All of them!".

Thanks for the feedback about copying checkboxes.

I'm not sure what you mean about search, however. Under "Attributes" on the left, you can select "Unfinished to-do items" to find notes that contain checkboxes that have not yet been checked.

I'd like this feature, too. I know that I can look for notes with checkboxes, but I'd like to search for checkboxes within a note. In my case I'm following a long, multipage procedure and am marking items I want to go back to after the first pass. At first I scrolled through the note looking for the checkbox, but after that just put "TODO:" after each checkbox, which should be redundant.
