RJK--Editor 7 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Has the "-tag" function been changed? I cannot get it to work with other filters. I use Evernote to keep track of thousands of articles in about a dozen different topics, which I use to assemble custom newsletters for clients. One of my categories is tagged "Real Estate." When an article has been posted to my content management system, I tag it "CMS." When it is used in a newsletter, i tag it "PUB--RE." Every week, I want to have a look at all my articles that are in "Real Estate" and in the "CMS" but are NOT yet published, so I know what I still have available to publish. So I created a saved search with the "CMS" and "Real Estate" tags and the "-tag:PUB--RE" to screen out published articles. All of a sudden, the "-tag:PUB--RE" function will NOT work with the CMS and Real Estate filters. It gives me an empty screen. See the samples attached-: the "-tag:PUB-RE" works by itself but not with other filters. BEFORE commenting on my problem, please note the following: This problem occurred simultaneously across half a dozen saved filters that have worked for over a year, so I know it's not just one category or a poorly set up syntax (unless Evernote changed the syntax.) The problem also happens when I manually set up searches with a -tag function. I tested this again and again with multiple examples. The problem happens on my laptop and online. I am completely 100% sure the results are erroneous--I can easily see dozens of articles that should come up in these saved searches. I just have to find them manually now, which adds hours to my day. I use the latest version: 10.16.7. Any ideas? Or just business as usual for Evernote? I'm beginning to dread every Evernote update. They add two bugs for every one they fix. The -tag by itself.doc The -tag by with other filters.doc Link to comment
RobColes 41 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Same issue for me. Re-creating the saved searches worked for most. For one stubborn one I need to click the X to close the tag buttons that show and then re-enter the tag criteria in the search box. Then it works. Hope they fix it soon. Link to comment

Evernote Expert Tony Ballantyne 208 Posted July 21, 2021 Evernote Expert Share Posted July 21, 2021 Ah, I wonder if the problem is that -tag now comes under the professional subscription? I'd feel rather cheated if I now have to pay extra to continue using a feature I've relied on for years... Link to comment
RJK--Editor 7 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Your note prompted me to try again--and it seems to be working now, with -tag. I still think it's an awkward setup, but at least it's happening! 2 Link to comment

cheesetec 5 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The ability to find notes that are not tagged is also broken - for example I used to be able to use the query: -tag:* returning all notes that do not have tags, this feature still works in Legacy but not v10. Link to comment

This works for me. There was a problem with -tag: in saved searches but that for me seems to be solved now. Link to comment

RobColes 41 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Working for me now too. I was assuming a back-end fix as it was broken on the web version as well, but the saved search now works across all platforms again, whatever the fix was. 1 Link to comment
