murand 2 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I have evernote for windows on pc and phone. I am comfortable searching for most things but can't seem to find a solution for number searches. When I search for a number for eg 12345, I can search 123 or 123* and this works no problem. If I search 345, no results. Tried with wildcard *345 and still no luck. I have researched everywhere and can't find a solution and realize wildcards can't be used before the search. Any ideas, because this would just about make EN complete for me Andrew

murand 2 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Burg.... Thanks for the quick response. I'd actually read this thread earlier but just checking to see if anything had changed with regards to number searches. Still love EN tho' Andrew

As stated in the linked thread, an Evernote "word" is a series of letters, numbers & the underscore. Everything else is a delimiter.
murand 2 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Yes but words you tend to remember the first part and numbers the last. Usually a word search is and* for andrew but for a phone number or long list of numbers you often remember the last few integers and try to search using *789 for 1234-56789. Anyway, thanks for your help Andrew
