Sort by relevance in search results

[Oldmantax 0]

I normally set evernote to sort notes alphabetically. When I search for a term in a notebook, evernote returns all of the notes that contain that term, but in alphabetical order. It would be much more convenient if it could sort by relevance. Looking around the forum it seems that evernote can sort by relevance, but I don't know how to turn this feature on.

 

How can I make evernote sort search results by relevance?

I really hope this shows up in the Windows client soon. Returning lots of search results sorted via anything other than 'relevance' feels bad. Not even having the option of sorting them by relevance feels even worse.

I don't think you can.  The sort options available are those you see when you click the drop down on the view icon.

Sort by relevance is an option that has been in EN Mac for some time now.

I forget exactly when it was introduced, but it was some time last year, maybe as part of the EN Mac "Natural Language" or "Descriptive" Search update.

At one point in an EN Blog, Evernote stated they planned to introduce this new Search to other platforms.

So maybe EN Win will see it in a future update.
