Level 5* gazumped 12,073 Posted March 30, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hi. What are you trying to search and how? What happens if you use the search box in the left window? Link to comment
Mimi888 0 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 I just search text, not text from PDF or imagine. I use the top left search box, nothing came out, but I know the text is in the note. Link to comment
Mimi888 0 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) The search didn't work whether it is desktop app or website. I reached maximum post today and can only edit this: To Gazumped: Certainly, for example I have this https://www.vitacost.com/MyAccount/OrderList.aspx?sces=1 in my note (just note the website to buy things in the future), then I search "vita" or "vitacost" or "vitacost.com", NOTHING CAME OUT. Edited March 30, 2023 by Mimi888 can not post anymore Link to comment

I think EN is treating the whole url as one word. EN does not search for bits of text within a word but it will search from the beginning of a word. So reproducing your note I couldn't find any of your search terms either. But this works: However https://www.vita doesn't - which I can't explain. The url is clearly confusing it! Making the url the note url (see the note information panel) and searching using: sourceurl:https://www.vita* Woked a treat My conclusion - searching for bits of a url can be problematic. Possible strategies to get round the problem are include a good title and don't rely on the "words" within the url add the url to the note url field - if you use the EN webclipper and use any of the options including the bookmark option this is doe for you automatically. 2 Link to comment
Solution Mike P 2,982 Posted March 30, 2023 Solution Share Posted March 30, 2023 Just one other thought. According to the search syntax specification (https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php) Quote Words in the content of the note are split by whitespace or punctuation. Words may end in a wildcard to match the start of a word. Multiple whitespace and/or punctuation characters in the quoted phrase or the note will be compared as if they were a single space. I take this to mean that the url should be split into something like https www vitacost com MyAccount OrderList aspx sces=1 and each of those words should be searchable. This does not seem to be happening. 1 Link to comment
