#gojimgo 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 My first post in the EN forum. Wheeee I have a PC laptop, iphone and ipad. On the PC, I can search a specific notebook (eg Actions Pending) by a tag (eg 1-Now). This enables me to see only the items in that notebook (and not from other notebooks where a note is tagged "1-Now". This does not happen on the EN app for iphone/ipad. If I search Tags on that platform, I see all 1-Now tags in all notebooks. Does anyone have a way to do that so I can find and clear my active to-dos on my phone?thanks Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted August 22, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi. Welcome to the forums. Type into the search field:notebook:"Actions Pending" tag:"1-Now" Save this search (the magnifying glass with the addition sign) and you can easily access it later as well. By the way, this works on the desktop as well. Link to comment
#gojimgo 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hey thanks for the quick reply. I just tried it but it did not work. I tried with and without spaces and/or caps just in case, but nada. Any other thoughts? Link to comment
#gojimgo 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 And here's an peculiar anomaly: I get the message "No results found. No notes were found in your account that match "notebook:"actions pending" tag: "1 now"" Note that the "1 now" does not have a hyphen in the message. But I input it with a hyphen and the tag in EN definitely had the hyphen. Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted August 22, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted August 22, 2013 Please make sure you have the capitalization correct as well. My advice would be to always have lower-case words without spaces (no need for quotation marks, easier to remember the rule, and easier to type) but that is up to you. Link to comment

#gojimgo 0 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Fantastic.Works great! Could you also please tell me how I delete the saved searches I no longer need? Thanks so much for your help Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted August 23, 2013 Level 5 Share Posted August 23, 2013 In the Windows version I am using, I right click on the Saved Search on the Left Panel, then select Delete.Once deleted, the operation cannot be undone. I prefer to keep the Left Panel closed, so I no longer use the Saved Searches feature.Instead, I save my searches inside 4 Evernote notes (Date/Time; People; Places; and Things) Link to comment
