klas 2 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Is there a way to search for not any word but the first word in a note title?That way I could make a saved search to find untitled notes, but steer clear from other notes containing the word 'untitled'. Or is there any other option for finding untitled notes only? Link to comment
crane 39 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 If you search for intitle:title, you'll find all notes that have "title" in their title. Since untitled notes (at least in Windows) show as , this will catch all of the untitled ones. In my case, it also caught a note with a title "No Title", which I thought a little odd - but I was able to give it a more meaningful title Link to comment
klas 2 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Thank you for the quick reply! However, I'm on a Mac, but what I found now when testing is that EN searches within words in titles, which I didn't know. It seems to me that searching for 'title' on a Mac works because the result also includes 'untitled'. So I still get hits such as this note title in the result: Evernote User Forum • View topic - Untitled Notes Perhaps there's no workaround, but I'm happy to have stumbled across a useful feature I didn't know of Link to comment
crane 39 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 You can probably get around the false positives by adding extra search terms, e.g.,intitle:untitled -intitle:forum or something like that. Just keep add negative terms until you've winnowed the list down far enough to be useful. Link to comment
