Level 5* gazumped 12,071 Posted October 14, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 14, 2014 What version of Evernote are you using, and how are you searching - saved search / search bar / tag ? Link to comment
cuizehan 1 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 What version of Evernote are you using, and how are you searching - saved search / search bar / tag ? the vesion: Evernote 5.6.4.4632 (272632) Public I used the search bar to search all notes. Link to comment

Level 5* gazumped 12,071 Posted October 14, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 14, 2014 Weird, but I typed flip in one note, selected another and searched for flip in the search bar - the focus jumped to the highlighted word immediately. Don't see why your version is word-blind in that area. I'd suggest creating a new note to see if you can find the word there - you could be typing into an existing note amongst hidden code that's causing a conflict somehow. Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,118 Posted October 14, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 14, 2014 btw, the search engine for the web version works good. This looks like a Search BUG to me. Yet another case of where the EN Search engine works differently in different EN clients. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,071 Posted October 14, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 14, 2014 ...works differently (correctly) on my computer too... Link to comment
cuizehan 1 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 maybe it's a rare case, and I found it quite coincidently Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted October 15, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 15, 2014 If you select that note and use the Find function (Ctrl+F), can you find 'flip' in the note? Link to comment

Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted October 16, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well, it's a bit of a mystery to me. There's nothing special about the word "flip" (I can find plenty of notes with containing the word), and while it's strange that you can find it inside the note while the note search seemingly cannot, they are different searches in their implementation as far as I can tell. Me, I'd export the note to .enex and examine it to see if there's anything funky about it, and maybe open a support request. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,310 Posted October 16, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 16, 2014 Can you find it if you delete the word flip and spaces around it and then retype it into the note? Old hidden character issue .... Link to comment
cuizehan 1 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Can you find it if you delete the word flip and spaces around it and then retype it into the note? Old hidden character issue .... well, it's really wiredif I type flip in the line, it cannot be found; but if I type it in another line, it can be searched. Link to comment

Old hidden character issue ....Yeah, that's why I'd export it to .enex and look at it in a text editor. I see the reason the words in the note has chinese words and punctuation: "相关工作：Flip-N-Write" in the exported .enex, which I open in a text editor, it turn to be "/></div><div>鐩稿叧宸ヤ綔锛欶lip-N-Write" the 'f' is lost. so this may be related to the encoding of chinese words Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted October 16, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 16, 2014 That seems more likely than an actual problem with search. Not sure what happened with the encoding thing, though. Not much expertise in that area on my end, sad to say. Good detective work, though! Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,071 Posted October 18, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 18, 2014 Not sure about the different encoding, but if "flip" (or "lip") is actually part of a longer string, it won't be found by a search anyway. Only the beginnings of word strings can be found, not the middle or the end. In "相关工作：Flip-N-Write" only the "相关*" would be searchable. Link to comment
