Alias Rick 0 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi, How can I find my untagged notes? the internet suggests I search... -tag:* ... but when I do this, I get notes with tags... Thanks Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted August 20, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted August 20, 2019 When I use this search string in EN on my Mac, I get only notes without tags. However, the string must be written without a single "space" in between to work. Even one "space" renders it useless. Link to comment

Alias Rick 0 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thanks for responding... Here's a screengrab... I've typed '-tag*' into search, but as you can see, this note has tags...? Link to comment
Alias Rick 0 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Oh... I feel like such an idiot - I missed the colon! Sorry! Link to comment

mjvovk 1 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I added a note that is untagged for my test. I tried . . . -tag:* '-tag:*' "-tag:*" -tag -tag: and the new AI-Powered search. The result was the same, "No relevant notes were found." Uh, what the??? There is definitely an untagged note. What do I need to do to get Evernote to find it? Help. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted July 5 Level 5 Share Posted July 5 -Tag:* works for me as it always did, listing all untagged notes. If you have only this single untagged note, it may well be that the search index has not yet been updated on the server, and synced to all devices. In a test I did some weeks ago it took between 1 and 5 hours before tags applied to notes made it to the search index on all my devices. It seems whereas the content sync is instantaneous since RTE, the metadata is not syncing with the same pace. Link to comment

What do I need to do to get Evernote to find it? Help. Well, I once had an issue with a tag using some special characters, I think it was ">Archive" which I used to mark notes to put into an external archive. This tag was not shown in the tags list of the notes using it. Searching for that tag showed all the notes. I then renamed the tag, and it reappeared in the tags list. Could it be possible that the 'untagged' notes somehow carry such an invisible tag? Link to comment
