Two: 'Searching' the forum & Keeping Editing toolbar visible

[sun2son 2]

Hello,

Been a EV user for awhile - yet....

 

#1) I don't see how/where to do a SEARCH in this forum to determine if the answers I need have already been addressed here.

 

#2) How can I keep the Editing toolbar (Font size, font color, etc) above main window for notes VISIBLE - sometimes it's there - sometimes it's not - drives me nuts.  Using EN on Windows7 - DT PC

 

tia,

There is a search bar in the top right.  The default is to use Google site search, which works very well.  A few people have complained about it.  But if you can use Google, you should be able to successfully use Google site search.

Editing toolbar for which Evernote client? Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web?

In the WIndows client, the editing toolbar appears when a note in the note panel has active focus, meaning that the editing cursor is active in that window. Click away somewhere else, and the editing toolbar is replaced by a different toolbar that has note metadata (created date, updated date, URL). The theory on this is most likely that the editing toolbar is just wasted space when you're not actually editing the note.

Jefito,

 

ok - I must be hallucinating - but I've made a note of your instructions and trust in your expertise.

Thanks again

sun2son, as a famous person once said, "trust, but verify". If it doesn't work the way that I said it does, report back.

Yes, often it will include the thread you've posted in (& rightly so because I'm assuming this thread matches the search terms you entered...???) along with any other hits. That's how fast & how good Google is.

There is a registry entry that disables this behaviour, and it allowed you to revert to a previous behaviour similar to V4 versions of Evernote. It appears somewhat broken currently, and ends up not showing the Created, etc. fields at all with this setting set. So it effectively only shows the editing toolbar.
