Pasko 1 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) please fix this ASAP for the Mac application too (latest built 5.07). The shift and command do the same thing ie select individual tags but does not allow you to select a range of tags say for example under a nested tag list.

mrgoerend 89 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Just came in to re-iterate a request for this. Also, when command-clicking to select multiple, clicking outside a tag (missing one while trying to click a ton) clears the selection. Ugh. Link to comment

cgguido 0 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'd like to add my vote to this. On a related note, can one search for all notes that have tag:home OR tag:work ? Can such a search be saved as a shortcut? I can't seem to make this happen on Mac OSX 10.7.5 Thanks! Link to comment
Level 5 Jackolicious 808 Posted June 7, 2013 Level 5 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Glad this got bumped. Multiselecting tags in the sidebar is possible with cmd-click and selecting ranges in the Tags view is now possible with Shift-click/Shift-arrows. 1 Link to comment
antpugh 45 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Is it just me or does this still seem to not be working? Link to comment
forever-evernote 29 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 antpugh, could you provide more information on your specific steps that lead to an error with multi-selecting tags in sidebar or in the Tags view? Link to comment
antpugh 45 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 There is no error, it just doesn't multi-select. I am using Evernote for Mac, but with a windows keyboard - so initially I thought it may be something to do with that, but I can CTRL select files on other applications, so it seems to be an Evernote thing. Not only does it not multi-select, but when I click on a tag, the correct notes display on the right, however there is no indication of which tag has been selected. ie. the tag in the list on the side menu does not stay highlighted once selected - I can't see anyone else's screen to see if this is just an error on my machine or how Evernote for mac works. 1 Link to comment

No, antpugh, it's not just you. I've been making the quite logical request for selected tag highlighting to be restored ever since EN 5 appeared in all its post-modern glory ... and no one is listening. Link to comment
Level 5 Jackolicious 808 Posted July 9, 2013 Level 5 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Let me know if it doesn't work in Evernote for Mac v5.2 Link to comment
cornetg 62 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Cmd-clicking for tag muiti-select is not working for me in 5.2. It just leaves a blank middle pane. Link to comment
forever-evernote 29 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It's working for me. Can you provide a screenshot? This is for the Tags view, right? Link to comment
antpugh 45 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I cant see how to attach an image on here?? I've added it to Dropbox - maybe you can see it there? https://www.dropbox.com/s/mvueoei4yr7afqk/Screen%20Shot%202013-07-09%20at%2022.57.00.png I can click one tag, and it brings up the correct notes. In this shot I have clicked on the COurse Bundles prj tag . However, what I cannot do is: 1) Select 2 tags at the same time 2) See which tag I have clicked on once I have clicked on it (as you can see in this screenshot the tag is not highlighted) Link to comment
forever-evernote 29 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 antpugh and trumpetg, please see the attached screenshot on how to find the tags you cmd-clicked and multi-selected. The notes that show up will filter according to your tags you selected. However, if you select two tags like "fruits" and "delicious" with no notes that overlap -- no notes that are tagged BOTH "fruits" and "delicious" -- then no notes will show. Does that help? Link to comment
antpugh 45 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I understand too - thanks for the response. Although I think that to have to click on something to see which tags I'\ve selected is an unnecessary extra step. Maybe we could put in a feature request to have these tags visible once slected? Or an otpion to show the tags selected? 1 Link to comment
antpugh 45 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Whilst we're on the subject, another issue that I am having with this newest version is with the Saved Searches in my shortcuts. If I click on a Saved Search in the shortcuts sidebar, the notes appear fine. Butf I then click directly onto a different Saved Search, Evernote does not display any notes. However, if I hit the Mac+R key (the reset search shortcut) after having clicked on a Saved Search, and then click on another Saved Search, it seems to work ok. Any one else experiencing this too?

forever-evernote 29 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 antpugh, seems to be related to this thread: http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/38550-incomplete-results-from-saved-searches-since-evernote-51/ Can you post there instead and outline your exact steps so I can try to reproduce it? Thanks! Link to comment
nacatton 1 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It would be great if the tags selected could be high lighted. Its harder to create and understand the hierarchy without the tags showing you whats going on.Please fix this! My girlfriends windows version works fine.Bump and thanks! Link to comment
brsnyder 3 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Am I misunderstanding how this should work? If I select two tags in the sidebar, I want to see all the notes that have either tag. That is, if I have tag Red and tag Blue and I want to see all my notes that are tagged Red and/or Blue, multi-select in the sidebar won't do it. It will only select those that are Red and Blue ==> null set This is counter-intuitive to me. Is searching the only way to do this? Link to comment

AND searches tend to narrow down the result set, and that's probably why: so you can more easily focus in on the notes you're looking for. Tags are really useful in combinations; but if you set up your tags to partition a set of notes (e.g. using a color), then you'll need to explicitly use an OR search to get an either/or result. In the Windows client, you can switch to an OR search on the search explanation panel, but I don't know if there's a similar facility in the Mac client. Link to comment
KlausB81 0 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 it works also on MacOS if you use the "any" keyword.Example, to search for both tags cat1 and cat2, use:any: tag:cat1 tag:cat2 Link to comment

Omer Weissman 0 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 In addition it does not highlight the notebook, so if I want to choose a notebook then filter by tags, it is still highlight the "Notes" on the left navigation panel (see attached) though the list itself is filtered. I would suggest both highlighting the notebook + tags and altering the search box on the top. Link to comment
kih305 4 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So when will ability to filter notes by multi selecting tags in the left sidebar be available? This is ridiculous to not be able to do it. 1 Link to comment
Monne 0 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Filtering on multiple tags and also notebooks and tags simultaneously is a key element of setting up my GTD system on Evernote. Anyone aware of progress on this? Link to comment

Anyone aware of progress on this? No changes I'm aware of, but my saved searches contain multiple tag arguments. I'm not a big notebook user, but the search can also contain a notenook or stack argument For example: notebook:xxxx tag:yyyy tag:zzzz -tag:aaaaa Link to comment
Eduardo Estefano 90 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It is also possible to filter using the note list. After you select the first tag to filter, just click on the tag filter icon again and it will show you a subset of tags still available for filtering Link to comment
