#gojimgo 0 Posted August 22, 2013 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
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted August 22, 2013 Level 5* 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.
#gojimgo 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Author 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?
#gojimgo 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Author 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.
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted August 22, 2013 Level 5* 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.

#gojimgo 0 Posted August 23, 2013 Author 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
Level 5 jbenson2 2,150 Posted August 23, 2013 Level 5 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)
#gojimgo 0 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 ThxI am working with EN on my iPhone I don't see a way to delete the old searches from the saved search list
