(Archived) Help with custom search


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I currently have the following saved search:-

tag:@Home -tag:@Waiting -tag:@Someday

I want this to show me everything that is in tag @Home but not in tags @Waiting OR @Someday. What I am getting is everything that is in @Home but not in @Waiting AND @Someday.

Is there are way to do an OR rather than an AND in a custom search? If so how?

Thanks

Mark

You can do OR operations using the search grammar (using the 'any:' search term), but unfortunately you cannot mix and match AND and OR operations in the same search. The only way that I can think of to get what you want -- and it's awkward -- is to make a temporary tag @WaitingOrSomeday, and tag all notes that have either @Waiting or @Someday, with that, and then use that tag to do your actual search.

Yeah, that is on my list of bad things about Evernote.

It really could use a richer search syntax.
