This sounds like a typical forum-phishing post to me--a new member with only this one post, offering a generic request or comment ("That was helpful!") intended to elicit a puzzled response--and maybe then a chat and some thievery? @annijonn, if you're here for a good purpose, my apologies, but please respond in the thread.

I find that this works even if I choose "View as Single Page." In fact, it seems to highlight the search results better that way. In any case, the main thing is that it will not search PDFs displayed as attachments only.

Thanks, Jon/t, I hadn't figured this out yet either. Very useful (a development from Ctrl+Q in older Evernote versions, which was a more detailed global search). I like that it searches notebook titles as well as note titles. I find, though, that it's a very basic string search. Typing "inner" brings up a list of note titles that includes "inner life," "beginners," and "dinners." Still very useful, and may reveal forgotten connections.

Hi, @dornote, and welcome to the forums. Are you using Evernote 10? On Windows, Mac, Android, Web version...? Previously Evernote would create a Conflicting Changes notebook and deposit the conflicting note there. These days, at least in the Web version, it will pop up a notice that a duplicate copy has been found and offer to take you to it. I haven't experienced this in the v. 10 Windows desktop app, so I can't speak to that. But, to be clear, do you mean simply duplicate notes, or notes that have been edited on more than one device and end up with different versions of their content?

@PuddinHead, please be aware that these are mainly user-to-user forums, not direct feedback to Evernote. You would need to contact support to register your opinion with them. For the record, I agree that the auto-conversion is not desirable and results in a kind of formatting that not everyone wants to use. I will say that your use is kind of the inverse of the usual way of doing a checklist; but I will also say, so what, this is something where Evernote should be more flexible. (See the previous elephantine exchange about who should be flexible, EN or the users. )

Hi, and welcome to the forums. Not according to this Help & Learning article: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005347. But those aren't always rapidly updated to match new features.

<excursus>Thanks, I learned something new. Now when my wife asks me a question and I answer with what just happened in the ball game instead of what was expected, I'll just tell her it's a race condition. I know she'll be impressed.</excursus>

Just to say that I follow a similar procedure, and I don't have issues with syncing speed or content loss. I did recently have a massive duplication issue with one particular note when using the Web client, not the desktop app, but that was isolated. I'm in metro Atlanta with a good ISP and home WiFi, and sometimes am out and about on Verizon mobile data. All of which only means it works for me. For those for whom it's not working, that's no help. So I would also join in the suggestion to contact support, since the behavior reported by @Catrina, which should never happen to anyone, is relatively uncommon and not the norm.

Hi, @SandShoe, and welcome to the forums, and to Evernote. I had something very similar happen to me, also with a note that had a Web clipping. At Evernote support's advice, I copied the content of the note into a brand-new note, which then worked just fine. It was always a display issue, never a matter of content actually being lost (since I could also see the note content in the thumbnail, and in note history), but very unnerving (and also extremely rare). Since you have a Personal subscription, you have access to Evernote support: https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action. I would suggest contacting them. There may be other reports of this coming in to them, and if they collect enough information they may be able to track down the problem. FWIW, here is my forum thread about the problem and how it got resolved:

Hi, and welcome to the forums. That's going to be a tough question to answer. I presume you're also asking it in the Insightly support spaces. I'm not familiar with Insightly, so I can't offer anything, and I'm not even sure how you could test where the problem lies.. You may need to reach out to tech support for both apps. (This is mainly a user-to-user forum here.)

I had to look up "durch die Blume sagen" (Google Translate is too literalistic), but yes, I realize that I do tend to talk "through the flower" quite a bit. So my updated profile pic is quite appropriate! WRT Android, my old phone won't take the new Evernote app, which may be just as well when I see the complaints about how slow it is. I'm doing OK without it, and have a speedy Windows laptop if I need to do more than is possible on the phone.

Is this happening on an iPhone or Android? There have been many reports of dreadfully slow syncing on Android, which could conceivably result in data loss, such as part of the title (though I'm only guessing on that).

+1. It's a good thing that having the string "bed" in a URL doesn't cause the app to go to sleep.

Just for clarity of discussion ... was there ever a sync button? If so, in what versions of Evernote? The older version of the Windows desktop program used the F9 key, or Tools > Sync. I don't remember a button.

Slow syncing on Android is a known issue; you can search the forums for "Android slow" and find some threads. On a PC, that shouldn't happen unless there's a bad network connection somewhere between your computer and the Evernote servers. Does it do that all the time, or just on occasion? Do other apps that do a lot of syncing seem to be affected? You might try a site that measures your Internet speed to see if that corresponds to your experience with Evernote. In any case, I don't see how a manual sync button would help this. It's not like an accelerator you can keep pressing to make it go faster! Generally, you can assume a sync is in progress when you stop typing; there is an indicator at bottom right that says something like "Saving..." and then "All changes saved."

Just registering that it happened to me yesterday while editing a note in the Web client. Suddenly it was spitting out duplicates one after the other. I quickly closed that browser tab, and picked up editing in the desktop app (legacy, v. 6, but I don't think that mattered). No problem there, and after getting things about the way I wanted I tried opening the note in the Web again, and again it spewed duplicates. I ended up with a couple dozen in the Trash, I think. I couldn't tell if it was something about this note, or something about my Internet connection at the time, or something about the state of the Internet between me and Evernote or.... I was not inclined to try opening another note in the browser to see what happened. I looked at that same note again just now in the browser, and did a random edit, with no duplication. So I'm inclined to think it was a connection issue. Still, eventually this needs to be fixed for good, hopefully in the Great Big Sync Revision.

Me too, on a Samsung phone. But I've pretty much given up hope that they're going to reach back to do it, since their momentum is (naturally enough) forward. Such is life ... You've still got a book sitting around that you started senior year, and you're definitely going to finish it some day, right?

In line with what @lhb said above, I hope that that thorough testing includes frequent testing with sub-optimal Internet connections.

Yes, I just had to create a simple outline within a note, getting something like: Introduction Sub A Sub B Point one Sub A Sub B Point two Sub A Sub B Sub C Conclusion When I copied it over into a real word processor, I had to massage this to get what I wanted (with A, B... under each number). But then this forum does the exact same thing as Evernote, and it's far from the only place I've seen it. Others are much worse (Wordpad continues the consecutive numbering within an indented section). I don't feel an urgent need for Evernote to fix this, since I don't expect to write things in final form in it.

Il y a toujours un carnet par défaut. Si on ne le désigne pas, Evernote le désignera. Voir: https://help.evernote.com/hc/fr/articles/208314728.

That is entirely possible. I had two EN accounts - personal and commercial (office). When the big switch took place my office account was toast. I complained to tech support - nothing but a couple of email exchanges. Then, some of my office notebooks turned up in my personal account. I still use EN, but on a guarded basis. @JR in TX, you're quoting a question from over 3 months ago, which misunderstood the post just prior to it. In that post, @PinkElephant was talking about the legacy app, i.e., Evernote v. 6, which is still downloadable and usable, but which is not the basis for Evernote's future development. That post had nothing to do with data before 2016. If @MalSproull wants to check whether notes before 2016 have been deleted, they can simply look and see; since they didn't say that that happened, perhaps they look and saw that everything was fine. We don't know. When your office account disappeared, did you contact support? What did they have to say? That would certainly be a huge problem.

Glad that was useful. Yes, making clipped text editable can have unpredictable results, presumably owing to the unpredictable underlying ways in which Web pages can be created and formatted. The editable text often requires some touching up. If you have a paid subscription, you get a unique Evernote email address, which allows you to forward emails directly into Evernote. See this Help article. This also is not perfect WRT formatting, but it might be more likely to preserve the original font color, at least.

The + or asterisk or star indicates that this is your default notebook, the one into which new notes are automatically placed. Because it is the default it cannot be deleted. Perhaps you created it or designated it as the default by accident. Bonne chance! Le + ou l'astérisque ou l'étoile indique qu'il s'agit de votre carnet par défaut, celui dans lequel les nouvelles notes sont automatiquement placées. Comme il s'agit du carnet par défaut, il ne peut pas être supprimé. Peut-être l'avez-vous créé ou désigné par défaut par accident. Bonne chance!

I just did a manual check for updates in the Windows desktop app and downloaded v. 10.40, and no, there is still no image copying there. Apparently it's still only available in the Web version; but it is available there.
