Search and replace replaces wrong

[iHanna 0]

I have used "search and replace" many times for searching html and replacing some of the texts and tags etc. But now anything I copy into the search bar is replaced with coded signs for " and > and other signs. What happened? Can I change a setting to get it back?

 

For example I want to search for this in my text note: <script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

But when I paste it in the search field it says: &lt;script async src=&quot;//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

so of course the search does not work! :-/ 

 

UPDATE: PC/Windows user. Used to work on the same platform, but since last update this happened.

Helps to mention which Evernote client you are using: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web. Version number helps, too...

Windows/PC and the Evernote version is 6.10

I pasted the above into EN 6.11 GA and this is what I get.  It looks like it is working for me.  How are you generating the search text?  What does the search explanation look like?

Yeah, search works, just not "search and replace" called on with CTRL + H. Did you try that too? I copied the search text from what I had pasted in the Evernote note, also formated to simplified format - or or what do you mean?

In the latest 6.11.2 release, I paste the string into the Ctrl+H's "Find text in note" field, and it looks fine, but pasting it into the "Replace with" field, it expands out to the " &lt;script async src=&quot;//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;" line noise string.

My bad, I did not try it in search and replace.  I get the same results as you, in both the find and the replace fields of Ctrl+H.  As it is or after removing any formatting.

Yeah, thanks guys. Though this makes the function totally worthless, since that's not what I want to search for to replace. I hope it is fixed. Any chance the developers sees this?

[When using "Find & Replace", characters where getting substituted]

Using Control + H, I'd paste $(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S") into the search field and it would substitute a double quote character " with &quot ;

 

My fix was to go into options (Tools --> Options --> Note) and Uncheck "Automatically format text elements"
