Level 5 jcnassoc 50 Posted October 5, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hi all - I am an Evernote Legacy junkie and have tons of notes, many of which have encrypted text in them. If I end up staying with Evernote once Legacy rides off into the sunset, I assume / hope these won't be a problem (though the Android app has--over the years--corrupted some such notes. I assume that's been resolved). But, if I decide to move on to some alternative I many need to manually handle transferring and encrypted info, as I doubt Joplin or any other alternative would support Evernote encrypted text as is. So that leads to: How do I search to find all notes I have with encrypted text? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. _____/ Regards, ____/ al Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,075 Posted October 5, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hi. I asked the AI search "how many of my notes are encrypted?" and got a quick response... from a rapid check they all seem to qualify. Some care is required in phrasing. I first tried "how many notes contain encryption?" which got me a lot of notes containing that word, but which were not, in fact encrypted. The 'new' encryption is actually slightly enhanced from what I remember before - it asks for a clue word or phrase that will be included in the note, but not encrypted. I previously did that manually. EDIT: and then of course I looked up Evernote search terms, and just typing encryption: in the normal search gets me the same answer.... 1 Link to comment

I hadn't thought about using the newer Android app's AI feature--cool thought! That said, encryption: works like a charm (apologies for my not finding that on my own). Thanks! 1 Link to comment
Boot17 1,539 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 It's also available as a filter in the "Contains" section. On Desktop it looks like this, but it's pretty similar on mobile (love that consistent UI/UX across platforms!): Link to comment
