SMeyers 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I know I can tag an entire note, but I'd like to tag a specific piece of text within a note. Is there any way to do this? If not, I think it would be a great enhancement. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,146 Posted January 2, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Tags are assigned to the entire note, not a section of a note. For my few lengthy notes, I use the following method:I use keywords (actually a special code) to find specific sections in a note. My codes all start with an arbitrary number (7777) followed by a letter. If I am looking for a specific quotation by Isaac Asimov, I will search for: 7777q Asimov I can remember all my search codes, but just to be safe, I also store them in an Evernote note.Also, in my opinion, Evernote is much more powerful when using many small notes rather than a few monster notes, so I don't have to rely on this search code method often.

It's not obvious, but Evernote can still find it. See an example below:7777q Link to comment
