wildrice1 2 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Searching for a Keyword?? When I search for a keyword it brings me to the first occurrence of that keyword. How do I jump to the next occurrence easily?? Example: Search for the word "automobile?" I know there are 35 occurrences of the word "automobile" in all of my notes. It brings me to the first one but I can't figure out how to easily jump to the next occurrence of the word "automobile." If you manually scroll through the notes you can see that the word "automobile" is highlighted but you have to manually scroll through all 1000 pages to find the next highlighted word "automobile." HELP?? Link to comment
Level 5 Solution jbenson2 2,149 Posted November 17, 2015 Level 5 Solution Share Posted November 17, 2015 Here is a list of shortcuts for the Mac.http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/mac/Evernote.html I only use Windows, but I believe a similar search method is used for Macs.I try to avoid long documents, but if needed, I use the following steps. Searching for a specific word involves two steps. 1. Narrow the possible choices down with the general search (through all your notebooks) for the word automobile.2. Another search is done inside the very long documents. Ctrl F is used in Windows. This will find the word automobile throughout the long document. I just click on the next down icon to jump to through all the automobile words 1 Link to comment
amanda_h 300 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi wildrice1! jbenson2 is correct. You can use Command + F to search for a word within a note, then use the back and forward arrows to jump back and forth between them. Link to comment
gaffney 2 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 thank you, this answers a question i just posted on another thread. i wish the same little "matches" box would show up under general search instead of having to do that for each note! 2 Link to comment
Harsh Raj 1 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 but ctrl+f don't search within images, so what if i have images in a note, and want to search. please request to evernote team to settle this issue. Link to comment
John McCauley 0 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Very helpful information here. Thank you! My question is similar to Harsh Raj's above. I have several notes with images of PDF documents and I use the "Search Notes" tool to find notes with an entered word. However, the Ctrl+F function will not yield any results when wanting to apply it to images. Any suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment
GioLogist 0 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Experiencing the same issue, time and time again. Ctr+F, aside from requiring an extra step, does not have the same se Link to comment
DCIHunt 0 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 It used to be possible, after using ctrl-F, to jump to the found keywords using the arrow keys. This is no longer working for me. Link to comment
