Level 5 luckman212 165 Posted September 18, 2013 Level 5 Posted September 18, 2013 On the new iOS 7 client (build 3030986) if you do a search such as: It will only retreive notes whose title is exactly "homework". If the title is "important homework due tomorrow" the note will NOT be found. Ouch.
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted September 18, 2013 Level 5* Posted September 18, 2013 Works correctly for me. Intitle only works for exact searches. A search for intitle:journal will not find notes titled "journals." It never has (at least, it was never supposed to). intitle:"journal monday" finds all the notes it should. [EDIT:] I am wrong. See below at http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/42536-en-for-ios-7-title-search-is-broken/?p=227603
Level 5 luckman212 165 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Level 5 Posted September 18, 2013 Intitle only works for exact searches. O RLY??
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted September 18, 2013 Level 5* Posted September 18, 2013 My recollection is that the new Windows client is secretly fiddling with the search to add a wildcard to the search term, and that is why it is finding more stuff.My recollection is that I also recommended that Evernote avoid mucking around with our searches (secretly or otherwise) because it confuses (and in my case, irritates) users. I am guessing that this is a case in point.I also recollect that the search grammar says that this is case sensitive and exact for search purposes (on the server side) so I think the original intention was to have this search work as it used to. I don't have the search grammar in front of me at the moment to confirm.
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted September 18, 2013 Level 5* Posted September 18, 2013 [insert expletive here] I thought I had the new version of the app (I was wondering why nothing looked different!), but I didn't. - Intitle is broken. Everything that ought to work (and did work a few minutes ago) doesn't now. Luckman is correct.
Level 5 luckman212 165 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Level 5 Posted September 19, 2013 Ok, whew. Thought I was crazy for a sec. I will file a bug. edit: ticket #157446 opened.
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted September 19, 2013 Level 5* Posted September 19, 2013 Ok, whew. Thought I was crazy for a sec. I will file a bug. edit: ticket #157446 opened. Thanks for filing the bug! Just to be clear, you are correct (I was wrong above) that a search for intitle:homework ought to find all of the cases you mentioned. I should have put more thought into my response (my confusion about which version of Evernote I had didn't help).
Level 5 luckman212 165 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Level 5 Posted October 24, 2013 Just wanted to make a final comment - looks like this bug has been squashed in some recent update. Thanks!
