Level 5 jbenson2 2,146 Posted April 16, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That search requires the full URL, including "http://www." If you search "sourceurl:facebook.com" nothing will come up, unless you've manually changed the source URLs to that.The www is not used for some sites. Example:WWW - yes:sourceURL:http://www.drudgereport.com/*WWW - no:sourceURL:http://hotair.com/*sourceURL:http://dailycaller.com/*. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted April 16, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted April 16, 2012 The "www" is generally not required (or the "http://" either, for that matter). For example, in Chrome, can get to Drudge Report just by typing in "drudgereport.com" into the search bar. In addition, I created a new note in Evernote, and set the source URL to "drudgereport.com". This worked, too.I think what Peter is saying is that in order to match the sourceurl: target, you need to include whatever is actually there in the sourceurl field.. Link to comment

peterfmartin 221 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 This is old, but I mean to respond to it when I posted a related feature request, and then I didn't for a while. Anyway, the request (just an ellaboration of what JMichael asked for, on its own, relevantly titled topic) is now up: Link to comment
peterfmartin 221 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Welcome to the forums, roserose. To search the URL field, you can use the searchessourceurl:X (for all notes from URL X)-sourceurl:X (for all notes not from URL X)That search requires the full URL, including "http://www." If you search "sourceurl:facebook.com" nothing will come up, unless you've manually changed the source URLs to that.So in your case you should use the search "-sourceurl:http://www.facebook.com*" (note the asterisk at the end, which makes the search "wildcard," meaning anything starting with http://www.facebook.com, not just the specific URL http://www.facebook.com).
