Level 5 jbenson2 2,146 Posted March 12, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This issue applies to the forum, not to the Evernote program.Consider this forum posting:http://discussion.ev...post__p__128558If I search for Bangor with jbenson2 as the author, the Forum search engine cannot find the post.It cannot find Maine using same parameters.And it appears that a 3 or 4 character prefix effectively kills the search as well.It cannot find TDS Telecom, but can find Telecom.It cannot find Mbps download, but can find download.

Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,316 Posted March 12, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted March 12, 2012 LOL. I just complained in another thread about searches as well. I don't understand the search function at all. Sometimes I just cannot find things, even though I KNOW the words are in the titles and/or content of the thread. It is so frustrating, and I feel like a bit of an idiot. Believe it or not, searching on Google with a simple search (not advanced) to find a forum page is actually far more effective. Link to comment
spg SCOTT 736 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Forum searches rarely return results for me...(in most forums that I visit) I find a site search better through google: site:discussion.evernote.com Bangor jbenson2 Will find this thread, and the one you are looking for (I hope ) Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,108 Posted March 12, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted March 12, 2012 I also have been very frustrated with forum searches, both in terms of returning incorrect results, and in terms of the format the results are returned in. When I ask for results by post, it returns the entire post, making it almost impossible to review a list of results more than a few posts. Link to comment
