tngolfgame 0 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 When I search for existing notes I always am presented with much more that I am looking for. How can I be shown just what subject I am looking for? Link to comment

Evernote has an extensive search feature We can search for tag:AAAAA tag:BBBB We can also include search text "DDDD" The screenshot is from my Mac Link to comment
tngolfgame 0 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Generally something like this #A autos (where the #A is part of my coding) I have other codes as well. It appears from your example that I should be using "tag:#a autos", would that be correct? Link to comment

Tags work well for organizing/searching notes Deficiencies of the search feature is that special characters are dropped stop words are dropped ""#A autos" would be a problem in a text search. The text search ends up as "autos" Link to comment

Say for example ^ or ~ ? Or would just plain text be the answer to my issue of seeing other notes besides notes of a particular subject? Link to comment

On the plus side, special characters can be used and searched in tag names. Link to comment
