Search an entire stack of notebooks? (instead of one particular notebook)

[natv 9]

The more I use the new version the more I hate it. Something that used to be easy and instant is now multiple steps, or in this case it seems, not possible at all (unless I'm missing something)

I organize my notebooks in "Stacks". For an easy example, let's say I have a stack called "Recipes", and then under this stack are my notebooks, which in my case I separate out by diet types as I tend to switch my eating plan often.

So I have STACK:  Recipes
and Notebooks:    Keto, Paleo, Low-Carb, etc..

 

Well I used to be able to search through the entire stack at once. Like if I'm looking for a recipe that involves "spiralized" veggies, I might have recipes in multiple notebooks. But in the new version of Evernote I'm unable to find a way to search all the notebooks under the recipe stack at once.

Seems I have to go to FILTERS and then select ONLY one particular notebook only (and I can't even start to type the notebook name to find it I literally have to scroll down to find it manually)

 

So is there a convoluted way to search all notebooks in a stack or has this functionality been completely removed?

You can still do it using the search syntax. Just type

stack:"stack name"

before the rest of your search. The inverted commas are only need if there is a space in the stack name.

You don't say what platform you are using but in the desktop versions there is a search box in the filter for notebooks

Alternatively if you type the beginning of the note book into the search you will get a list if suggestions which includes notebooks. Clicking the notebook name takes you to that notebook and you then have the option to filter by that notebook.

Thanks Mike, manually typing in stack:<name> works :)  -   but I think we can all agree this is not intuitive.

It used to be that if you were already "clicked into" a stack it would default to searching that stack. This should be re-implemented or at least add "Stack" to the filter options, as there is no way to otherwise search in a stack unless you know the secret method of manually typing in stack:name in the search box.
