barley123 1 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 can you do AND/OR with tag search? so suppose I have tags bob, tod, john. so for example, I want to search for A)(bob OR tod) <-- documents tagged bob, as well as documents tagged tod. B)(bob AND tod) <-- documents that have both tags. so each document shown has to have both tags C) (bob AND (tod or john)) <-- speaks for itself. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,257 Posted April 15, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted April 15, 2020 A) that's an ANY search in EN B) That's an ALL search in EN C) Nope. No Boolean search capability in EN. Workaround is to do an ANY search on Tod and John, tag results with a temporary tag, and then do an ALL search on the temporary tag and Bob. 1 Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted April 16, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted April 16, 2020 To back up Moe's Cal's post, some references: Evernote's advanced search syntax: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828-How-to-use-Evernote-s-advanced-search-syntax A bit more technical: Evernote search grammar: https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php Basically, any search that begins with any: is an OR search. All other searches are AND searches. No mixing. You can get some measure of AND/OR behavior by using wildcards, for a contrived example, tag:data* language could be used to match notes that have either of the tags "database" OR "data structure" AND the literal term "language", but that's not generally useful. 1 Link to comment
