Marklevy9 2 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 i have been using Evernote for some time now and and loading lots of notes, forwarding emails and office attachmentsetc. Searching for these items is becoming a pain as the amount of items "found" is to great to quickly find what i am looking for. I know i can prefix a search such as "intitle" or "created" etc but this is not particular handy / user friendly. When can we get a new button on alongside the File / Edit / view buttons with a drop down allowing search by title or notebook or tabs or created date or keyword(s)?
Evernote Expert gazumped 12,630 Posted June 18, 2016 Evernote Expert Posted June 18, 2016 Hi. There's lots of help with search, organisation and tagging in the Help Center. I agree that once you have a lot of notes, a lot of search 'hits' follows closely behind. It's a routine part of database management however to curate your notes so that the list of hits doesn't become unmanageably big. The exact process will be different for each user - extra notebooks or tags may be all the help you'll need. I use 'smart' titles, with the date, source, originator and content of a document or clip. An 'intitle:keyword' search is usually pretty effective for me. On the occasions it generates too many hits, I'll tag either the note(s) I wanted with an additional keyword, or I may tag all the other notes with more accurate keywords.
