Evernote Expert Sugeeth Krish 351 Posted September 18, 2013 Evernote Expert Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hi, I have 4500+ notes in my Evernote account, and I want to filter only the notes with PDF attachments. Any easy way to do this ? Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted September 18, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted September 18, 2013 You can use the search term: resource:application/pdf Link to comment
ChadO 6 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Assuming you are still on Evernote 4, you can also click Attributes --> Contains --> PDF document in the pane on the left side of the screen...Very handy. So far this functionality has been removed from Evernote 5... Link to comment
evb 30 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 No, it has not been removed, but substituted by the search (---> post #2) Link to comment
ChadO 6 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yes, the ability to click Attribute filters has been removed. I would suggest that clicking filters is more intuitive than recalling search syntax, so it is valid to note that this is not present in Evernote 5, particularly when it's not clear whether the OP is using EN4 or EN5.

See post #2 http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/42478-easy-way-to-find-all-notes-with-pdf-attachments/?p=227363 Save the search and put it in your shortcuts on the left so that you can find it anytime.

Evernote Expert Sugeeth Krish 351 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Evernote Expert Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks a lot, grumpy. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted September 18, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted September 18, 2013 No, it has not been removed, but substituted by the search (---> post #2)Yes, the Attributes / Contains / PDF search tool from the left panel in V4 has been removed in V5. And not replaced by anything, so far. Something like the Android has (Advanced Search) would be nice to have if the left panel Attributes tool isn't coming back. Link to comment
Evernote Expert Sugeeth Krish 351 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Evernote Expert Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks for the response, the command was great for finding PDFs.But, similarly, when I want to find images or videos, the command resource:application/jpeg or /jpg is not working.Is the search mode for images and video attachments different ?

LoveEN 4 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 is funny, the main reason we use Evernote is want to put everthings inside , and we can call out at any time, so we dont need to remember all the things but now we need require / remember a skill / search grammar? to call out a memory, such as a "Solar Energy Flashlight" EN please dont run the wrong way, easy to use is the selling point please get back the "Attributes" function =)may be create an option show/hide, so for advance user can hide the "Attributes" at the left menu Thankyou Link to comment
dan7000 26 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Following this same trend, V6 will feature a bare bash shell and everyone will have to learn a programming language in order to create a note, find a note, edit a note or view a note. There will be no GUI and no list of notes. It will be so much more convenient. It's telling that the *only* way to figure out how to view notes with PDF attachments in V5 involves going to an area of the EN website designed for *developers* -- not users. Link to comment
Cancerim 0 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 is funny, the main reason we use Evernote is want to put everthings inside , and we can call out at any time, so we dont need to remember all the things but now we need require / remember a skill / search grammar? to call out a memory, such as a "Solar Energy Flashlight" EN please dont run the wrong way, easy to use is the selling point please get back the "Attributes" function =)may be create an option show/hide, so for advance user can hide the "Attributes" at the left menu Thankyou I too loved the attribute feature that made it easy to find certain file types, sources, etc. Now, instead of selecting a drop-down list, I have had to start adding tags to each file according to the attribute that I would like to find later, as the saved-search option clutters other searches and doesn't apply easily when switching from Personal to Business, across different Notebooks, etc. Fortunately, the feature has been still preserved in the web version so I hope that Evernote is considering re-implementing this real time-saver, but I use the (Windows) Desktop version over 90% of the time to access and create content, only using web version if the desktop application has frozen up or is updating. I like LoveEN's suggestion of keeping it in the Desktop application, with an option to hide it for those who don't need it. I need it. Thank You for your consideration. Link to comment
idoc 317 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I have not upgraded to 5.0 but would agree that I use the attribute function a lot more often than the search grammar. However, in all fairness to Evernote, if you feel that you will be doing a particular search on a frequent basis it's not hard to look up the grammar and then simply make it into a favorite. At this point I do not use the attributes or the search grammar anymore since I've pretty much saved 99% of my important searches. Link to comment
wordmuse 1 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Add me to the list of people who doesn't get this design decision. I'd love to have someone explain the logic of it to me because for the life of me, I don't see it. Also - I don't see any way of making the so-called descriptive search work from within the Windows client.https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/38949727 Please Evernote... can we please have our filters back? - Bal Link to comment
Level 5* s2sailor 1,418 Posted September 5, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted September 5, 2014 I've puzzled over a few of their design decisions as well and would enjoy a discussion to better understand why some things were done but unfortunately Evernote has not shown an inclination to discuss their design decisions. Concerning the descriptive search, they do mention in the article: "Note: Descriptive Search is currently available for English users on Evernote for Mac" I expect that we will eventually see this on Windows as well some day.

wordmuse 1 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks s2sailor - I missed that bit about the Mac. So is Evernote saying it prefers its Mac users over its Windows users? I'm starting to feel like the kid no one wants around the family table. [*sniff*] And I'm a Premium user too. [*sniff* *sniff*] Of course, if this is the worst of my problems, life must be pretty good.... - Bal Link to comment
