Heart1010 6 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I'm using the windows app and I marked several for me important notes with a (!!!!) prefix in the title e.g. "(!!!!) My note title". Now I want to search all my notes after these (!!!!) in the title but everything I've tried I don't get my notes listed in the search results. I thought "intitle:(!!!!)" should be the correct search phrase but this lists nothing as search result. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,781 Posted July 25, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted July 25, 2023 You can’t search for this type of marker - it needs to be a text string, special characters are ignored by search. The easiest way to mark a note is by using tags. Link to comment
Heart1010 6 Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Ok, so the easiest thing for me now is to 're-phrase' my important notes by sorting all notes alphab. (so the notes starting with "(!!!*" are at the beginning) and then add a special tag to all those important notes for example. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted July 25, 2023 Evernote Expert Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yes, that should work. Bulk tagging is limited to 100 notes at a time unless you manually edit the config JSON file to raise the limit to a maximum of under 1,000 notes. Link to comment
Heart1010 6 Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Thank you both! @agsteele What exactly should I edit/add to the C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Evernote\config.json file to have more than 100 as limit? Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted July 25, 2023 Evernote Expert Share Posted July 25, 2023 I suggest you search the forums for config.json You should find the details in a post from a year or more back. Edit: took two minutes to locate 1 Link to comment
Mike P 2,968 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 @Heart1010 I like to use emojis in titles of important notes Beware though that the intitle: search for emjos is a bit odd. However this syntax works fine: 🔴 intitle:🔴 See https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/145475-searching-for-emojis-in-the-title-of-a-note/#comment-679567 1 Link to comment

I thought "intitle:(!!!!)" should be the correct search phrase but this lists nothing as search result. The parens are part of a boolean search (see https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405520390291). The ! seems to be part of that as well, although not documented. Also not documented is any escape mechanism to use the special characters in a regular text search. Link to comment
