credog 0 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The Web interface does not find search terms like the Mac Interface. I have several large PDFs in various folders in Evernote under a stack. The PDFs have all been converted in Adobe to be text based. If I search for a specific term (such as the word collector) that is within several of the PDFs, the Mac Desktop App finds them fine. When I do the same thing within the Web interface (which I must use most of the time) it does not find them. It only finds the terms in text docs it seems. I even limit the search to a specific notebook and it still will not find the search word in the Web interface. The main difference I see is that in the desktop application the PDFs automatically render as does simple text documents. In the Web application the text documents render and the PDFs do not. Just a clickable icon. Seems however that the searching would not be impacted by this. Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted February 27, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 27, 2018 Is this the pdf search feature for premium accounts? https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005157-Which-Evernote-product-is-right-for-me- Link to comment
credog 0 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have a paid account. I should say, when I know which PDF the term is in and I click on the Icon to open it, I can then search within the PDF and it finds the terms fine. It just will not find it when I search within Evernote. Link to comment
credog 0 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 This still isn't working the way I think it should. I haven't been been able to get any help from support. Does anyone else see this type of behaviour? Link to comment
Moloth 0 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Happens to me too.. was very frustrating when i repeated a search on the web interface I got 2 hits and on my desktop windows 10 client I get 25 hits. Link to comment
ppmartin 7 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I continue to use the old interface as the new interface shows a blank column in the middle... Link to comment
credog 0 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 This continues to be an issue. Search results from the web interface is consistently less than the client software. Link to comment
scubagirl0 0 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I have a similar problem. First I can't find anything. Then, if I poke around enough it seems to OCR some stuff, but I still cannot search INSIDE documents on the web interface, only through the app... It's just an image on the web, text is not selectable. And the behavior is very inconsistent. My problem documents are scanned by Shoeboxed. When I scan I OCR on my desktop and then everything works well. Link to comment
