Seach for Overdue and Incomplete Reminders


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey there,

 

I have been unable to write a search that will show me a list of notes that meet ALL of the following search paramaters:

 

1. The note has a reminder associated with it

2. The reminder date (time) is overdue

3. The note reminder has not been marked "completed"  - i.e. incomplete

 

I would greatly appreciate any help!

The search grammar for reminders is here:

What have you tried?

Description of the Evernote search language is here: http://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php. The reminder-specific search terms are "reminderOrder", "reminderTime", and "reminderDoneTime":
 

reminderOrder:[integer] - matches notes that have been marked as a reminder. The actual integer attribute value is used to order reminders relative to one another and is generally not useful in search. E.g.:

reminderOrder:*
Matches all notes that have been marked as a reminder

reminderTime:[datetime] - matches notes with a reminderTime attribute that is equal to or later than the argument datetime. reminderTime is the time at which the user has requested a reminder about the note. E.g.:

reminderTime:day
Matches all notes with a reminder set for today
reminderTime:day+7
Matches all notes with a reminder set for the next 7 days

reminderDoneTime:[datetime] - matches notes with a reminderDoneTime attribute that is equal to or later than the argument datetime. reminderDoneTime is the time at which the user dismissed the reminder. E.g.:

reminderDoneTime:day
Matches all notes with a reminder done time of today
reminderDoneTime:day-7
Matches all notes with a reminder done time in the past week

 
. At a guess, something like "reminderOrder:* -reminderTime:day -reminderDoneTime:*" seems like it would be pretty close, though I haven't really tested it out much. As they say, "left as an exercise for the reader"...

Thanks a lot! works nicely.

 

However....

 

There seems to be a bug in the Win7 Client. I can search for my overdue AND incomplete reminders over all my notebooks, however, when I select a stack or particular notebook in the selection window, the search does not narrow down to the specific stack / notebook. 

 

Only when I try it a second (or sometimes third) time, does the search narrow down.

 

Any of you have the same problem?

Click on the magnifying glass in the search edit control, and you should see a dropdown menu. Select "Search current context". That will cause the most recent notebook / stack to remain current.
