Search isn't working and hasn't worked consistently for a long time, maybe over a year

[timlhicks 0]

It seems to lose track of older notes and not include them in searches. Several recent searches I have manually found items that the search didn't find. I have over 8 years of note history. Is there a limit to the search?  When I update the note it didn't find, it then finds it in a new search. 

This is a HUGE problem. This is the main reason I use evernote, so I can store and then find information. 

Please Help!

Evernote is current as of this date.

This problem has been seen on all the following platforms and the macOS is the one most used for searches.

Platforms:  macOS Mojave version 10.14.6

Windows 10 on a lenovo laptop

Android pixel 5A - Android version 13

Experts asked for more platform information. If platform info is so key, why don't you require it in responses?

It may be a HUGE problem.

The even HUGER problem is that we don’t know which client you are referring to, and on which OS. And you don’t tell …

Hi, @timlhicks, and welcome to the forums. It would indeed be helpful if you could share more information about the device(s) and system(s) on which this is happening. Also, does this happen with both plain text and text in attachments (PDFs, images, documents)?

I added the platform information to the original post. Mostly I do searches on a MacOS Mojave Macbook Air running Version 10.14.6, and I run the application for Evernote. The problem also existing in the web based client under Chrome and the same MacBook.

10.14.6 means the MacOS version, correct ?

Which EN client do you run ?
