fungel 5 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I have both personal and business notebooks as I guess most people using Evernote have... When I do some searches (sometimes in front of clients) how do I stop from seeing my personal stacks/notebooks/notes from coming up in the searches? Eg can I mark some notes as Personal?Can I easily omit a certain Notebook from coming up in search results? I did some searching through the Evernote documentation but didn't see a solution. I google it as well but didn't come up with anything.... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Kyle.
Level 5* gazumped 12,230 Posted October 7, 2015 Level 5* Posted October 7, 2015 Hi. If this is a problem for you there are a few options - you could put one set of notebooks into a 'Stack' of notebooks, and include only that stack in your searches, or exclude it from your searches - depending on which way around you're using it. Try some experiments using "stack:<StackName>" or "-stack:<StackName>" to include or exclude content. You could also tag all your work or personal notes and include or exclude notes with that tag, or set up a saved search before you visit a client for any searches that are liable to come up - save those results into a 'Table of Contents' page and each client can have their own listing of relevant notes without the need for searches.
fungel2 0 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Hi Gazumped,Thanks for your reply.I can certainly try the advanced search method. The other suggestions are also possible. I was really hoping to do something like have 2 major categories of Business and Personal and be able to choose between the 2 and the searches only search through one of the other. this would save having to tag each note separately during creation... I normally file the notes in a notebook anyway so doing that and putting it in a particule Personal notebook would be easier...Does anyone know if Evernote are planning something along the lines of what I'm suggesting?Cheers, Kyle.

fungel 5 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 Ok that's grand thanks.I'll try your stack idea - sounds like the easiest implementation!Cheers.

This method has been working well for me for some time now.
