If Search looks everywhere, what is the advantage of using tags?
For instance, I scan a Best Buy receipt and put it in a note. I would title that note "Best Buy receipt for scanner 10/12/2011." All the search terms I would use to find this note are in the title so why add tags? It seems like an additional layer of clutter.
I do understand the concept of using category tags rather than notebooks but I'm not there yet. I find it unnerving to see just a pile of notes. I am frustrated by having to choose "All Notes" before searching for items so the 'No Notebook' concept is beginning to look better and better.
I just can't wrap my mind around tags vs. note title/content. I must be missing something. Thoughts?

I'm a premium user, love Evernote and tell everyone about it but am still trying out different organizational strategies.
