natv 9 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 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: Recipesand 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? 1 Link to comment

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. 10 hours ago, natv said: (and I can't even start to type the notebook name to find it I literally have to scroll down to find it manually) 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. 1 Link to comment
natv 9 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment
