Alexander Seidl 8 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I created a note "Test" with a single string in it "abcd.efgh.ijkl". If i search for abcd, the search returns this note. If i search for efgh, the search returns nothing. 2 Link to comment

It was always a "feature" of Evernote's search grammar that only the start of a string would be recognised, not terms from within it. I'm a little surprised that that your example counts as a string, because of the "." - which I didn't think Evernote 'saw' as a character in searches, but I could be wrong. If you have the Legacy app installed you could try the search there - if it's successful, v10 may be brought up to the same standard at some stage. If not, that's the way search operates. 1 Link to comment

I have many code snippets stored in my notes and therefore many Strings like <class>.<subclass>.<method>. Therefore i would never find my note, when i look for <method>. Link to comment

Understood, but it may be the way that this one works. Like I said, any string with a "." should be seen by the search engine as two separate words, so I was surprised you had an issue. Shane D is looking into it, so we'll find out the actual situation soon. 2 Link to comment
0 Dak 2 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’d like to see support for better matching in general. Matching “in word” is definitely a must have! 2 Link to comment

I created a note "Test" with a single string in it "abcd.efgh.ijkl".
If i search for abcd, the search returns this note. If i search for efgh, the search returns nothing.
