NeverwinterMoon 1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have a set of notes with the following titles: h ii w a...h ii w b...h ii w c... When I want to filter all notes containing c, I use the following exact search: intitle:"h ii w c" and it works like a charm. But when I type intitle:"h ii w a" I get all the above notes, including a, b and c. Why is that? I've tried this in both Windows and Mac OS X client versions of Evernote. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,664 Posted January 8, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted January 8, 2014 The "intitle" is redundant unless you have that string in other places - a simple search should do the same job. And I just set up a quick test with "h ii w a test" etc in the titles and got just the a, b or c results you would expect from a character-specific search. Not sure what you're experiencing there, but it doesn't seem like it's to do with the Search function.. Link to comment
Level 5 cwb 225 Posted January 8, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ditto. Works here. In case it's not on, Ctrl-F10 or "show search confirmation", I find useful to confirm Evernote and I are on the same page with a search. Link to comment
NeverwinterMoon 1 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sorry for misinformation as it certainly works on Windows. It still doesn't work on Mac OS X though where I originally experienced the problem. I then came to work and tried testing the same behaviour on Windows machine but failed to notice that it works correctly. Now I'm back on Mac and I can certainly reproduce the problem. Here are some screenshots showing the results for "c" search, then "b" (both working) and finally "a": Link to comment
Level 5 cwb 225 Posted January 8, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ok. yes, I confirmed that on my Mac.It looks like they're treating A as a common word and ignored, on the Mac.Might be worth a bug report. Link to comment
