roserose 1 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I am trying to search within my over 10,000 notes for notes from a particular url/source. I would like to search for things that contain a particular word and DO NOT CONTAIN/do not come from a particular url heading, ie "facebook.com".Any help would be greatly appreciated!!Thank you!

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).

Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 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 5,598 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
