briwad 0 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 How do I search for a Bible reference in a document where a search for john 3:16 (for example) will return only "john 3:16" and not every john, every 3, etc. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted November 1, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted November 1, 2014 Try putting the whole thing in double quotes. Link to comment
briwad 0 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Tried putting double quotes ""john 3:16"" returns any john any 3 and any 16. Link to comment
dbvirago 452 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Put it in double quotes means "john 3:16" not ""john 3:16"" Per Evernote docs, below, and my testing, this should work. "San Francisco"matches: "The hills of San Francisco"does not match: "San Andreas fault near Francisco winery" Link to comment

BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 IME, searching on special characters, even when enclosed in quotes, is spotty. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted November 1, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted November 1, 2014 I just tried this, Win 7, Evernote version 5.7.0.5492. Search for "John 3:16". That's with double quotes, not double double quotes (""John 3:16"") or double single quotes (''John 3:16''). Worked for me. Verify what Evernote is searching for using the Search Explanation panel (View / Show Search Explanation). Link to comment
