rbellamy 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Currently, when multi-selecting tags (in both the Web and Desktop), the search is an 'AND' search (e.g. Select all Notes that have "this" and "that" tags). My expectation of a multi-select user story is that it is inclusive, not exclusive, and should produce an 'OR' search (e.g. Select all notes that have "this" or "that" tag). What is the thinking behind the current behavior? Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think it's reasonable to do AND seaches as well as OR searches. In fact, IME, it's more often than not that I want an AND search. IE, maybe I'm looking for an email from my manager regarding direct deposit. I don't want all the gazillion emails from my manager as well as other emails from co-workers who may be discussing direct deposit. I only want the ones from my manager regarding direct deposit. You can easily change this, you know, so it's really NBD. (At least on the web client & Windows desktop client.) Link to comment

(At least on the web client & Windows desktop client.)How would I change this? Link to comment

firefox_97 4 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I did suggest the possiblity of the default being a setting change, I do think that that could be useful.http://forum.evernote.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=18805 Link to comment
