(Archived) HOWTO: Identify all scanned notes

[Justin Wise 0]

Hey everyone

I'm hoping to find a way to identify all the notes that I scan into Evernote.

I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap and I'm hoping I can use the "source" search operator. This is how I have it set up right now:

But it's not getting any results, unfortunately.

I'm pulling the source from this info page:

Can anyone help me out? Is this even possible?

To make that search work you will need to meet these criteria which you can't:

source:[string] - matches notes that came from an application or data source that matches the argument string. Not all notes will have a "source" attribute. Standard source attributes queries include:

• source:web.clip
  
  • Matches notes that were clipped from a web page using an Evernote Web Clipper
    

  [*]source:mail.clip

  • Matches notes that were clipped from a local mail client
    

  [*]source:mail.smtp

  • Matches notes that were delivered to the service via the email gateway.
    

  [*]source:mobile.ios

  • Matches notes that were created on an iOS client of some form.
    

  [*]source:mobile.android

  • Matches notes that were created on an Android client of some form.
    

  [*]source:mobile.*

  • Matches notes that were created on a mobile client of some form.

If all your scans contain PDFs you could use this:

resource:application/pdf

which will return any note with a PDF (including ones that you haven't scanned).
