Web clip search does not seems to work in Evernote Legacy 6.25.2

[Logarius 2]

Greetings, sorry if this has already addressed, but I have not been able to solve this.

I am a "newish" Evernote user and while I was exploring all its features, I found out you can filter notes by source. This is quite useful for me, because I like to clip a lot of articles for research purposes, but they tend to get mixed with the notes I take from them. Although, when I tried to use this search option, it did not work. For what is worth, I followed the steps from this article, where it says I just need to type source:web.clip into the search bar to do it.

At first I thought it was an issue with the web clipper, but the search seems to work fine in the web version of Evernote, including all of the clippings I have made. Meanwhile, in Legacy, Evernote did not show even a single one of them. I will attach a relevant screenshots below of the search results of each of the platforms.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Hi. source:web.clip seems to work fine for me - I got nearly 8,000 hits and the selection I checked were indeed clips.  There are more searches of the same type -

source:[string] - matches notes that came from an application or data source that matches the argument string. Not all notes will have a "source" attribute. Standard source attributes queries include:

• source:web.clip - Matches notes that were clipped from a web page using an Evernote Web Clipper
• source:mail.clip - Matches notes that were clipped from a local mail client
• source:mail.smtp - Matches notes that were delivered to the service via the email gateway.
• source:mobile.ios - Matches notes that were created on an iOS client of some form.
• source:mobile.android - Matches notes that were created on an Android client of some form.
• source:mobile.* - Matches notes that were created on a mobile client of some form.

Goodness gracious! Thanks! I spent quite some time amount of time trying to figure out how to solve this, and came nowhere near close. Maybe I am not as good at Googling as I thought I was.

For anyone interested, all my clipped notes are available by searching with source:web.* instead of "source:web.clip". I have no idea why, but now the results of the search match those of Evernote's web version.

I am not sure what could have caused this, but maybe it has to do something with me clipping from different web browsers (Firefox and MS Edge). Still, this is quite odd. I even reinstalled the Legacy app and still had this problem.

Unfortunately this is another example where the oft cited search grammar documentation has not been kept upto date. I get far more hits using source:web* than source:web.clip. I exported one of the notes that was found in the former but not in the latter and opened the enex file in Notepad++. As you can see the source is web.clip7 which explains it.

Like you the filter for webclips in V10 also gives me the correct results.

Well, that's good to know. I appreciate all the help, and hopefully this information aids someone that has the same problem.
