kmacwi 0 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've just upgraded evernote to 7.1 and all of a sudden the search bar doesn't display anywhere close to the results I used to draw with the same searches. It's definitely broken because if I type in a single letter, "i" for example, I get 2 notes that pop up (funny enough always the same 2 notes). Please fix this as this is my main way to access notes!

ryeontoasting 0 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I've just upgraded 7.1 and I get zero results on any search items - using 3 char or >6 (ie. Medical) Any subjects or text within does not display. It will however only find 'tags' On MacOS 10.13.3 Slightly different from the OP, I get '0 note found' Link to comment
kylometers 0 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I've been experiencing this for months. Without a reliable search, Evernote is completely worthless to me. Link to comment

I am having the same type of issues. Neither search, Spotlight nor the Evernote search, will find notes that I know are there. Notes that cannot be found via search have a blue arrow in upper right corner. The rebuild options for both searches will not work. Nor does exporting and the re-importing a notebook that notebook. The blue arrows are still there after reimporting. Only affect "local" notebooks that reside on my laptop. Evernote Support say they are working on a fix but I am skeptical. Link to comment

YoMama 0 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It appears that this may be a MAC only issue which may explain when Evernote is not very motivated to come up with a fix. Link to comment

DBDen 0 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I am having the same issue on my Mac, although searches on my phone work fine. I have tried the "hold shift and option keys while clicking the sync button" fix, and it has not worked. Anyone have a solution? This has made using Evernote in my work environment impossible.

HelloEN 8 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Yes, I have been experiencing the same issue for the last week or so but was too busy to investigate, assumed it was a Catalina issue and would be sorted in a EN update promptly. I am currently trying the forced re-index with 10K+ notes, will see how that goes.. iOS and web search working fine. Have contacted support will see what they say. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,761 Posted November 4, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted November 4, 2019 There are 2 different issues possible with search on a Mac, and for problem solving one must tell them apart: Search using EN own search function: If this does not work, or results are fuzzy, hold down the <alt> (option) key before clicking on the Help menu. There will be a new option „Problem solving“ at the bottom of the help menu, with several sub-options. The first one will rebuild the internal search index of EN. Search using the MacOS Spotlight search function: Up to my last knowledge (I have not checked this in the last time) Spotlight will only find words in the title field of EN notes. It will not find text inside of notes, or attachments, or tags. This is a OS-sided restriction EN can not solve. So if you have search problems on a Mac, first use the internal search of EN instead of Spotlight, and then make sure your search index is correct if results are fuzzy. For more about search see this support document: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005647 And some more about the advanced search possibilities: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314498 https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828 https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313618 1 Link to comment
