I have been using Evernote for two years now, and am putting more and more into it, and it is becoming a very trusted part of my daily routine. The ability to get that information back out when I need it is critical. Generally, a regular search works.
I tried an in-title search on a folder, looking for a specific two-word phrase. The phrase occurs in-title 5 times in this notebook. When using the Mac client, it only returns 2 instances. I switched to the web-based version, and it returns all 5 instances using the same search.
Recently, I also found that the "-" operator does not work in the Mac client, but does in Windows, web-based, and IOS.
Is anyone else finding rather quirky search behavior with the Mac? I hate to just use the web-based client, as it is a bit slower, but it seems that I must for reliable searches.
Don't get me wrong… this is a great product! I signed up for premium within a month of beginning use, and have no intentions of leaving. I just need to know that I can find the information. With over 3000 notes (and growing), it is just a mash of information without solid, strong search features.
