Evernote Searching

[Rynn21 0]

I know the notebooks are automatically sorted alphabetically, but when doing a search within each notebook how do you search by a through z?

You mean sort by note title?

 

Depends on which Evernote client you are using (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web, etc).

Like if I want to search for all notes starting with the title "A".
I'm using Windows.

No way to do that, per se, as far as I know. The closest match would be to use "intitle:a*", but that will search for any word beginning with the letter 'a' in your note titles. See https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/23245321

For all notes starting with A (and B - Z)

• Evernote > View > List View
• click on "Title" in the grey header bar
• scroll down the list until you find note titles starting with A
• keep scrolling...

Obviously, you can search for all Notes in a Notebook using  "notebook:NoteBookName", and then apply the sort by Title that Gaz discussed.  You can also change the sort order in the List dropdown menu.

This post can be closed. I figured out the solution. I made a Notebook Stack and every Notebook within that named A-Z individually. Works like a charm.

I'm glad that you found a solution that works for you.

Just be aware that while you can specify the Notebook to search within, you can NOT exclude a NB in a search.  You can exclude Tags, but NOT NBs.
