Mayonline 5 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hi, I need to filter for a note in one of two notebooks. It appears that I can only filter in one notebook at a time or all notebooks at once, yet when filtering tags I can select these as needed. Am I missing something here? Maybe I need to Upgrade from version 10 to version 6 to get this type of cutting edge capability? Appreciated Link to comment

If the two notebooks are called nb1 and nb2 then you need any: notebook:nb1 notebook:nb2 Link to comment

It doesn't work in legacy but it does work in V10 Windows desktop or Web Link to comment

The first of your options works for me on V10 (Windows 10.10.5 and the Web) but not in legacy. I notice that in your example you mention both "tag1" and "tag 1" although I'm sure it is just a typo. Searching for all my notes containing the tag .TestTag tag: .TestTag Using the search tag:.TestTag any: notebook:@inbox notebook:testExport 1 Link to comment
