Search doesn't work for strings of letters


Recommended Posts

hi,

 

when i am searching in notes for a string of letters, for example word: "banking" and i am typing "anking" the search doesnt show anything.

That is not how it supposed to work? Does it?

Should the search button search for all "anking" in all of notes? How to repair that issue?

 

thanks!

Rightly or wrongly this is how it is supposed to work

If no advanced search modifier is found in a search term, it will be matched against the note as a text content search. Words or quoted phrases must exactly match a word or phrase in the note contents, note title, tag name, or recognition index. 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. Searches are not case sensitive. (A wildcard is only permitted at the end of the term, not at the beginning or middle for scalability reasons on the service.)

See https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php

You will need to take it up with EN if you think it should be different.
