lerax 2 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 i evernote on both windows and android. on android when i'm tagging notes i can type % as a wildcard and then type any part of the tag and all tags that contain that string will show up. i.e. %2016 will return "plan2016" "project2016" etc. all i have to do is simply tap on the one i'm looking for. this is very handy as i don't always remember how my tags start. however on windows (6.0.6.1769) this doesn't work exactly the same. the related tags will show up but i can't select them. if i click on them i will end up having the string "% followed by the string i typed" as a new tag. i have to delete everything and retype the tag completely. it still works but i feel like this is some kind of bug. does anyone else have the same problem? did i miss something? or is it actually a bug?

Level 5* CalS 5,306 Posted May 6, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted May 6, 2016 Enter 2016 not %2016 when searching for a tag in Windows desktop. Link to comment
lerax 2 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 i think you misunderstood. i wasn't trying to search for a tag. i was trying to add tags to a note. i usually do this by typing in the "add tag" area above the note. if i drop the % then it will only display tags that strictly start with what i type. e.g. if i type 2016, only 2016plan will show up, but not plan2016.

Level 5* CalS 5,306 Posted May 7, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted May 7, 2016 My bad, sorry. I was thinking in terms of the tag picker in search. If the % selection method worked for you on EN 5.9 then I would report this as a bug. I tried the % in a tag add and when I clicked on a tag I ended up with an added tag starting with % as well. That's just wrong I would think. EDIT: Makes one wonder why the tag selection functionality for search and add don't have the same methodology. Pretty much the same intent in both, find me a tag. Weird.... Link to comment
