redmondm0 7 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I have a tag such that when I click on it correctly shows 11 notes. However if I go to the search bar and enter tag:X where X is the specific tag I'm looking for, only one note is found. I've made sure that I also selected Search Everywhere. I'm using the Windows Desktop version of Evernote (version 10.73.4). I also tried Evernote Web, but got the same result. Any thoughts? Thanks. Michael Link to comment

VincentC 271 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Or try the switcher: cntl-q on the Windows client or cmd-J on Mac instead of tag: and see if it works better. Vinnie Link to comment
Solution redmondm0 7 Posted February 5 Author Solution Share Posted February 5 Thanks for the help! I think I figured out what happened, though I think the behavior is still odd. I entered the tag I wanted on the search bar as tag:X, where X was the tag I wanted. I did not hit enter, however. Immediately underneath was a list (I suppose) of what EN though I was searching for. One of these was tag X. I clicked on it only to get one note. I knew that was incorrect because I had multiple notes tag as X. I redid the search, but this time after entering tag:X in the search bar I hit enter, and EN found all my notes tagged with X. This seems to me to be strange behavior. Why would EN list tag X as a possible search parameter when clicking on it does not return all the notes tagged with X? Michael Link to comment

Because I've seen such effects from time to time but didn't find any background, this might help to figure out what's going on 😉 Does your tag "X" contain any special character(s) like ">"? There are differences in interpreting wildcards in search phrases that contain such characters in tag names. I.E. tags like ">1" and ">2" are matched with "tag:>*" in Legacy return 0 results in EN10... Link to comment
redmondm0 7 Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 No, my tag X was just a person's last name. No special characters. Michael Link to comment
