How are your other saved searches working? I've been seen a re-occurrence of a long-standing program I call stale search results. Classic case is you remove or change some note tags that should cause the notes to disappear from a commonly used saved search...but they still appear! I'll re-examine the notes to confirm the tag I removed is indeed gone...then re-do the search...they still appear. The problem sometimes can be fixed by restarting your app/client, power-cycling your hardware (phone/computer) but sometimes you just have to wait until the stale search results finally update. If that seems like what you're seeing, EN has long promised a fix but has yet to deliver. Here are examples, some may be relevant to you: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/132275-notes-not-showing-in-search/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/135952-list-of-features-that-do-work-me-in-the-new-youngimmature-en/?do=findComment&comment=617944 https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/135932-i-can-not-find-my-note/ Search on 'stale search results' or 'search broken' or 'missing from search' etc. you'll find plenty more.

If it persists, consider reporting it at Evernote down? Current outages and problems | Downdetector ?

Can you tell us which client and version you're using so the mods can move this post out of the General forum? Screenshots would be helpful too. I don't use the Web interface to EN very often, but almost every time I do I see pop-ups (from EN, not ads) about new features or updates. Separately, there's a notification badge next to "what's new" in the lower left, so these pop-ups are just redundant, annoying clutter. Is that what you're talking about? Maybe the latest EN Win client and Android app have this problem, but I won't know know as I don't use them yet. As for the Mac side...well maybe someday.

@agsteeleMy goal is "delightful processing". Have you found any "delightful" new workflows in the new version?

Hi @Logariussee if this helps:

Today i learned, if you create a note with one or more spaces in the URL field, then export that note, the resulting .ENEX file will preserve those spaces. If you inspect the .ENML file in a text editor, you will see: <source-url> </source-url> The problem is, when you import that .ENEX file, Evernote will treat that space as whitespace (which is the XML/ENML standard) i.e. it ignores them. This means the resulting note will have a blank URL field. However, if you hand-edit the .ENEX file to look like this: <source-url>https://example.com/</source-url> Then the resulting note will have the URL field populated with example.com. By trial and error, I discovered you have to put something inside the <source-url> tags that the importer considers to be a valid URL. So you can't do: <source-url>&nbsp;</source-url> The closest I could get before I gave up trying was: <source-url>null:</source-url> This won't make the URL field in the note blank, but it will ensure that field isn't filled automatically, and if you click on the field in Evernote, it won't do anything. I hope this helps someone.

I can vouch that they certainly don't put much effort into regression testing! In fact about the only recent, technically impressive achievement is migrating the back-end services to the cloud. Other than some brief outages, the transition was seamless for myself and everyone I've been in touch with. That was happening over a year ago. (If it turns out that there were major problems with that migration after all, I'm not entirely sure I'd want to know! Perhaps I'm better off believing there is at least one thing Evernote can still do right? But then again, nah, I'd rather know...)

Thanks @Paul A.I was wondering if Play Store offered options like that. I take it you know this from experience?

As noted in the linked post, it is indeed a security risk to download an .apk from a non-Google Play site. From what I can tell, https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evernote-corporation/evernote/ is considered the most reputable/trustworthy by the Android community.

This post will help you revert to any version you like, including the final 8.x version which is 8.13.3:

This might help:

Today I discovered that, like @lino sutter, I too am getting only partial results when I search on source:web.clip. Just for fun, I searched on source:web but got zero results. Then I must have been bored because I kept goofing around. Turns out, if you search on source:web.* then TA DA you get all notes that were created using the clipper! Caveats: I tried this on EN for Win 6.25.1.9091 (309091) Public (CE Build ce-62.6.10954) but it probably works on the newest client for Windows, as well as in the iOS and Mac clients. Can anyone verify this? Perhaps @DTLow or @gazumped? I did not check to see if source:web.* returned exactly every matching note in my notebooks. I just checked closely enough to see that it returned the last several clips that I remember making...clips that were not found when I searched on source:web.clip. Maybe web.clip only matches clips that are partial pages (as opposed to simplified article clips, full article clips, and full page clips). Presumably there are other web. suffixes that are not documented here or here. I tried web.article and web.page but got zero results even though I know I'd made clips like that. I wonder what the secret suffixes are? Sorry to post this on a thread from three (3) years ago. I'll try and find a newer thread and post there as well.

Thanks. I still use version 6.25 so I can't reproduce your problem myself. Perhaps someone else can help. Worst case, consider using an older version of Evernote

Need OS and Evernote version info!

@kar511All I did was give it time, in my case a couple of hours, and the problem went away.

Hi, let's start with version of Evernote that the team is using, and platform (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Web, etc.)

I wonder if someplace in the Google app store terms & conditions there's a line that says something like, developers agree to distribute their apps exclusively via Google app store. This means developers cannot offer the APK for download from the developer's web site. Google wants the developer to drive traffic to them.

Sorry, should have posted which will for any Android 8.x version not just 8.12

Yet another alternate source of unofficial APKs. Hat tip: @gazumped https://apkpure.com/evernote-notes-organizer-daily-planner/com.evernote/versions

@Kddif you follow the link in gazumped's signature, you will find all sorts of helpful info, including https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote

It's been a while but yes, I do remember getting a few notices like these that did not have a corresponding entry in Access History.

There is indeed. You can even change them using voice commands (as is doubtless the case in iOS). The screen brightness, duration, and other power saving features should almost always be managed by the OS. All modern smartphones offer many, many ways to customize these behaviors to suit every use case. An app would have to have an extraordinary reason to over-ride these features; IF that is the case (which for most uses of Evernote, it isn't!), the app should offer the user an option to disable the app's control over these settings if the user doesn't trust the app to play nice and not drain the battery unexpectedly. Evernote didn't do that, and I'm delighted they seem to have stopped trying to disable your screen dimmer/screen saver.

The Evernote legacy client had long-standing issues with special characters in the note title. It looks like those issues still haven't been fixed in the new v. 10 of Evernote. Sadly, I have no confidence that this will be fixed, not to mention, when.

Possible other ways: IFTTT, Filterize, or similar services. The long-promised updated Evernote API...or did they cancel that too? People have hacked network packets to make their own API. Lot of work but I have some links if you are interested.
