risk 2 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 There appears to be a bug in the Windows Desktop Client when searching for tags within a notebook. I'm using version 5.8.1.6061. This Search syntax works: notebook:.journal tag:.techThis Search syntax does not work: tag:.tech notebook:.journal So basically if Tag is before Notebook, no notes are found. Please note that the Browser version does not have this issue and works as expected. Thanks. Link to comment

risk 2 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks for the link JMichael. However, the supposedly incorrect syntax of listing the Tag before Notebook works in the browser version. Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,108 Posted January 27, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 27, 2015 That doesn't surprise me. There are many inconsistencies/bugs in the EN Search engine, particularly with different behavior on different platforms. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted January 27, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 27, 2015 However, the supposedly incorrect syntax of listing the Tag before Notebook works in the browser version.The different clients do accept some things that the API search language wouldn't accept, sometimes in the aid of user convenience, like implicit '*' characters added after search terms. In this case, both versions work in the web client, but "tag:t notebook:n" don't work in all other clients, so it's best to try to stick with the documented search language, particularly if you're using saved searches that can be used across different devices.
