Search not working with shared notebooks

[Dguyd 1]

Search has stopped working for me.  Works fine with notebooks I created, but doesn't work at all if the notebook was shared with me.  I get no results even when there obviously should be.

I deleted and reinstalled EN but problem persists. I opened a ticket with Support but response said to expect a 1 week (!) delay in response. Meanwhile EN pretty much useless.

Experiencing same problem

[praetis 1]

Experiencing same problem.  Android 6.0.  I am able to search only my own notebooks, not shared notebooks.  I get zero results when I attempt to search while looking at a shared notebook.  I do not have this issue when using the Web client.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue - I cannot search notebooks that are shared with me. I can search notebooks created by me.

I also deleted and re-installed Evernote with no improvement. I am using Android 7.0

I'm having the same problem on my Samsung tablet using android 7. Searching in shared notes works on my android 9 phone though.

[Sarah Bilawski 1]

I'm experiencing this on the web client (free version).  I'm currently evaluating this product and am wondering if I need to upgrade or if this is a defect.

[praetis 1]

So sick of this. Search still doesn't show results from shared notebooks. It used to work a long time ago, but doesn't anymore. This issue is the main reason I'm migrating my family off Evernote as soon as I can find the time.

Affects me on old web client, new web client, and Android app.

Really no response or solution to this almost a year later? Was this quietly folded into subscription functionality?

[Jazanne 2]

I honestly don't understand how this problem persists. I used to use evernote for EVERYTHING, but have stopped because shared notebooks can't be searched, which is just unreal.

Happening with me as well, started at a new job with tons of useful info already on evernote, shared by a colleague, but its nearly impossible to locate anything without the search function. 

I am using Evernote in browser,  on an Asus google chrome box (all systems are google based) 

Creator of the notes/workbooks can search everything just fine, is there anyway to pass this onto people who have had it shared with them? 

Everyone seems to immediately ask for screenshots from everything else I've read, I've attached these as well.. 

Tried using different search functions eg 'intitle:' and nothing seems to work, really does seem like a permissions related problem, or we have an office full of idiots as none of us can work it out haha

I am experiencing the same problem. It's a nightmare. I almost feel this little green elephant is teasing me with it's slogans "nothing falls through the cracks" "Remember everything important, wherever you are".

Please, evernote, provide some information about this functionality.  Any help is appreciated. Or, please provide more levels of stacking since we always have to search notes manually.

Searching shared notebooks does not work on my Samsung Note 5 Android. However, search DOES work with the exact same shared notebooks using my iPhone 7 and iPad (6th Gen). This has been a bug for more than a year.

I see this working for me. Motorola Droid Turbo, Evernote version 8.12_beta1

Getting results seemed slower, maybe because shared notebooks cannot be marked as offline (as far as I know)?

I’m having this same issue, when searching from my iPad. Same thing when searching from the web. Items in shared folders do not appear in the search result.

However, searching from the PC app, items in shared folders are included.

What am I missing?

This thread is in the forum for the Android app. Since you're dealing with 3 other platforms, let me suggest that you post it in the General Technical Issues forum instead: https://discussion.evernote.com/forum/463-general-technical-issues/. It will be more likely to be seen by someone who can help.

[John Erik Setsaas 6]

Sorry. My bad... Thanks for letting me know.

In his defence, I don't think searching of shared notes works anywhere! Can android users confirm if they can search notes that are shared with them? It certainly doesn't work on web, windows, mac, or iOS. (so frustrating).

Searching on shared notes in Evernote for Mac v7.14 works but not on iOS v8.24.6. For me at least. PITA.

As I mentioned to an earlier poster here, this thread is in the forum for the Android app. Since you're dealing with Mac and iOS, you may get more relevant responses if you post in their forums.
