Search Not Finding Notes

[Kathryn Hill 1]

Evernote 7.4 on macOS 10.13.6 ... I've been using Evernote for over 10 years. Something broke with Search in the latest upgrade. I type in a keyword, and Search says "No notes found." But I know there ARE notes with that keyword.

I'm attaching a screenshot with an example. I typed "tahini dressing," and at the top it says:

Found notes with rosemary tahini dressing, white bean kale salad with tahini dressing, roasted carrot lentil salad with tahini dressing and curry-roasted fennel salad with rosemary tahini dressing

but in the note list area, it says "No notes found."

Even when I click on one of the "found notes" result, I still get "No notes found."

Never mind. I tried

option + help > Troubleshooting > Recreate Full Text Search Index

and this seems to have solved the issue.

open the help menu while pressing option key - that shows more menu items e. g. troubleshooting

Hi Winterclan,

 

In the macOS app, when you click on "Help" at the top, the drop-down menu looks like this:

 

When you hold down the alt/option key and then click on Help, the dropdown menu looks like this (note "Troubleshooting" at the bottom:)

It's a hidden menu option that only shows up when you hold down the alt/option key while clicking on "Help."

Hope that helps.

Best,

K

I did it but still no luck. How long does it take?

It takes a while. Let it run and check again in a few hours or tomorrow.
