Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,938 Posted September 9, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Tags are applied to individual notes, not notebooks, even in Windows. There's general info on tags, including how to apply them, in this Help article. (Generally speaking, the Evernote Help system is good for basic how-to questions.) In Android, select a note to view or edit, then tap on the tag icon near the top right and choose your tag. Link to comment
fredhammersmith 53 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well, in Windows, while in a notebook, you have this tag icon on the top of your notes list that act as a filter. This is a very useful behaviour and I would be very happy to see this tool in Android. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,938 Posted September 9, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Oh, sorry, I completely misunderstood the question! In Android, you have to do a tag search. Tap the search icon 🔍 at top right, then start the search with tag: followed by the name of the tag. Link to comment
fredhammersmith 53 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Don't worry, my English is what it is (not my 1st language). But to be absolutely precise: I mean searching (or filtering) a tag from inside a notebook. With 33K notes, I have to combine techniques. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,938 Posted September 9, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I don't use tags that much, but I do believe it is possible to do a tag search while viewing a notebook, which should be different from doing it from the All Notes view. But I could be wrong. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted September 9, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted September 9, 2019 For certain you can select a notebook, then tap on the magnifying glass and type in search filters, including tags, e.g. "tag:sometag". Not very convenient, but at that point you should see a button "Refine your search", which, if you tap you you can then select tags more easily. I think that the whole process could be streamlined.
