Thanks, I put the entire com.evernote.Evernote folder in the Spotlight privacy tab which prevented Evernote notes appearing in Spotlight search results.

PS: in the Spotlight results the text "sw vers" and "Evernote note metadata Zero KB" appears under the note titles.

Thanks. I tried that and it just opens an empty folder titled Searching "This Mac" with the search bar saying kind:Documents XXX and nothing inside the actual window/folder. It say "0 items" at the bottom.

Which Evernote data folder should be excluded from Spotlight? I have tried to exclude many Evernote folders from Spotlight by dragging them to the exclusion list but that doesn't seem to work. This pathway mentioned by Engberg in the thread below in 2011 is out-of-date

Hi, I want to exclude Evernote notes from Spotlight searches on my iMac. I have Spotlight set to search Documents but I only want to see results for Word and Text files etc, not Evernote. I think I need to find the Metadata folder and add it to the list of excluded folders in Spotlight settings, according to this link below, but the thread was from 2011 and that pathway mentioned by Enberg does not exist anymore, at least on my Mac. Any idea where the Metada folder is nowadays? Or other methods to achieve the same effect?

OK thanks.

Thanks. I was having another issue and was wondering if initial indexing would have been the cause. Apparently not. BTW, I want to exclude Evernote results from Spotlight searches.

How long would Evernote take to index about 7,000 notes (about 2–3GB) that have just been synced from the web to the desktop app?

I need to find a copy of Evernote 7.2.3. Where can I find that (for various reasons I still have to use El Capitan and 7.2.3 is the latest version for that)? Also I tried the About Evernote and Option trick but it doesn't bring up the Database folder on my iMac

I backed up a month ago and I have Time Machine backups but obviously I should back up weekly like you. Point taken, but go easy on me. If I delete and reinstall the app only, does that leave the database in tact? I might try that, just to rule it out...

Yes, it works fine for the synced notebooks for some reason! Only the local notebooks cannot export in either html or ENEX. Where are they located in the database folder?

OK where is the database folder and where are the synched and local notes within that?

I have two local notebook containing a total of 4000 local notes, and three synced notebooks containing a total of 3,000 notes. If I back up the database folder would that include stuff that might be faulty? (ideally I would like to back up just the local notes/local notebooks) How do I back up the database folder and could you give me a rough estimate of how many GB 3000 online notes would be to re-sync?

Thanks I was thinking of that. Two issues: 1) I need to back up my local notes but cannot export ENEX files (or HTML files). I get a box saying downloading files (should say exporting as they are local notes!) and nothing happens. 2) I have 3000 online notes and am worried about my ISP throttling my bandwidth again (they did before). How many GB would that be to download?

Hi DTLow, Sorry, I wasn't clear. I want to disconnect the app from the Internet. It keeps syncing when there is nothing to sync and I cannot stop it, other than by disconnecting my entire computer. I don't want to do that, so I just want to disconnect the app. Unfortunately, logging out doesn't help as that shuts the app down. BTW, in the past few hours, Evernote has written 213GB to my disk despite me doing nothing!!! (I reset the count on Activity Monitor by quitting Evernote) BTW2, I want to export my ENEX files but all I get is downloading content box and nothing
