ScottLougheed 1,316 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 No problem with that here.... entering the query alone and with intitle:query brings up the note even when the title is not in the body of the note. Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,118 Posted March 19, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've discovered that search will not find the search term in a notebook's title (just in a note). Has anyone else found this? Tim, it should work. If you search for "news" (without the quotes), Evernote will search for WORDS that begin with "news" in all of the following: Title, Tags, Note body. If this is not working for you, please provide us with a specific example of the Search term you used, and the Title it should have found. Also provide your EN Mac and Mac OS version numbers.

tim23795 1 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 I was referring to a word in the name of the "notebook" and not the title of the "note". In other words, if you have a Notebook called "Finance" but none of the individual Notes in the Notebook have a note with the word "finance" in it, the search function won't point you towards that folder. I could see where that would be helpful when you have a lot of Notebooks. Link to comment

For a search like that, I'd recommend the advanced search grammar. notebook:Finance As far as I know, notebook names do not turn up in regular searches. I could see arguments for both behaviors, but this seems to be the method they have chosen. Link to comment

In search, the only thing that you can do with a notebook or a stack is use at most one of them to set search context (e.g. notebook:Finance or stack:Personal). Link to comment
