I'm having frequent problems with search. For example, I was trying to find "Anthem" - which exists in multiple notes.
If I search for "Anthem" though, Evernote only finds one note - and not the note I was looking for.
I fortunately remembered that the note I was looking for also contained "1955" so searched for "1955" and found the 2nd note, as well as some other notes containing 1955. The other note also clearly contains "Anthem" in it in plain text. So why didn't it show up in the first search?
This happens to me all the time and it seems to be getting harder and harder to find relevant notes. I would expect Evernote's search to be clever, but instead it seems to be getting worse and worse all the time. This is basic functionality in a "free form database" like this.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
