search by Tag: allow "OR" operator

[pedro8 2]

When I search by Tag, the search is made in "AND" mode.

For example, unless a note is tagged with "january" and "february", it won't show up in the search.

I'd like a way to search for all events tagged with "january" OR "february". Ideally without having to type the tag name.

 

Thanks!

Hi.  Have you tried the ANY: operator?  https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828-How-to-use-Evernote-s-advanced-search-syntax

Doesn't seem to exist on Evernote 10.

Presumably it will come back - meantime... https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote

Nah, I'll keep on 10. No sense on banging the head on 5.x when the missing features are non-critical and I can poke here for suggestions of 'new' features. Thanks for the tip though.

The ANY: operator works in EN-10 - it's not a feature of the new version - it's part of EN's search syntax which works on server and client site.

But there is no support of it by using the UI (no buttons or key clicks on tags) and the search list does not show the ORed tags 😞

You have to type your search string "any: tag:january tag:february" into the search box.

Oh cool. I thought the text search had been dumbed down. In my case I had a parent tag on which by clicking would fill middle column search with all subtags AND'ed.

However, using your tip I can search by tag:PARENT_TAG and it works the same as OR'ing all subtags!

Thanks!
