Surely with the ability to embed Excel files in notes now being available for all users this thread is dead. It might be more profitable to get EN to accept that some fields can be longer than 8 or 9 characters.

Also works quite well without using the mouse. Arrow keys to move through the list of found tags. Enter to select. Alt+F2 to bring up the window again if needed.

True. So you will need to use the tags filter menu or learn the names of all your tags so you can use the advanced search syntax (which requires the full tag name - it is not a way of sesarching for tags). It does accept wildcards at the end of the tag name though. So you could try tag:inv* which will find all notes tagged with a tag beginning inv. I don't like the tag filter much either. The keyboard shortcut (alt+F2 on Windows) helps, as it goes straight to the tags section of the filter and you can immediately start typing your search.

Don't forget the main tags window (alt+ctrl+5) has a nice search and you can filter by clicking from there.

Completely agree with the randomness! If your persevere you do normally get what you want but special characters are a bit hit and miss. I generally find ctrl+Q is a little more reliable at fiding tags. Also be aware that filtering and then searching can give unexpected results

Not sure about your version number. I can confirm that you can't do this anymore on windows either (10.77.3). Probably a new UI thing - I was always amazed that it worked in the first place. Pasting comma separated tags still works (See @gazumped above) If you go to the tags editing menu you can copy th existing tags from there. You will then need to edit the list to include commas. The easiest way I have found to do this is to paste into a text editor or a code box in EN. You then get a list and you can add the commas after each tag (last one is not needed but EN ignores it if you add it). Then copy and paste into the tags area - EN will ignore the carriage returns. Please feed back to EN that this really useful feature is now missing. I think it is UI related so you can use https://waz9zvkd1f2.typeform.com/newuifeedback

As noted above this is also my experience. I wonder whether those people who originally signed up for the beta program for the new UI are getting UI releases ahead of other users or whether it is just "we'll roll it out to a random x% and they can find the bugs for us." I think I may have just answered my own question - different feature but same idea.

I hope you can find something that works for you. You can find a way around finding most text based data in EN through the use of tags and simple text search. Numeric and date data, where you will normally want to find values within a range, really depend on EN providing the appropriate fields and a way of searching. In this case they have provided the field and a way of searching but not easily entering data into the fields. If you just need to record the values then it can just be done in the body of the note. Limited searching works provided you got the first few digits correct. So a search for lat_53.2 found a note with Remember Boolean search is now free for all users so a search like (lat_53.2 OR lat_53.3) AND (long_1.1 OR long_1.2) should work I think @gazumped's suggestion of using the "three words" system is worth investigating - as I said earlier, EN is really good at finding text!

I agree. See https://evernote.com/blog/14-features-for-all

Short answer - no. You can add the location to a map in the mobile versions but there is no facility to add (or see) actual coordinates. In principle you could export a file as an enex, edit it with a text editor and then import it again but that seems alot of work.

As a matter of interest an AI search of "find notes created near town X" found no notes where the bounding box method found 106!

If you copy the coordinates as TSV from https://boundingbox.klokantech.com/ and paste them into the A1:D1 cells in an Excel spreadsheet then this formula converts the 4 numbers into the correct EN advanced search syntax. The cell (E1 in my case) can then be selected, copied and pasted directly into the search box in Evernote =CONCAT("longitude:", A1, " -longitude:", C1, " latitude:",B1," -latitude:",D1)

That was an awesome feature of legacy that is unfortunately now gone. Two options are Use a browser plugin to give that functionaility. I like the Chrome plugin Auto Copy Use the EN web clipper. The ability to select various bits of text was enhanced recently.

There are also various bounding box calculators where you can draw a box on the map and it will then give you the four values. You would still need to edit it to get it in the correct format for an EN search string. I like https://boundingbox.klokantech.com/

There is a long standing issue with templates that EN refuse to acknowledge. If you modify one of the predefined styles (surely what they expect you to do) and then do anything with that note (make into a template, copy, duplicate or export) the styles are reset. However if you just save it as a template - without attempting to reset the styles - it should remember the modification. It does for me anyway.

I think searching for geographic locations is all but dead. Even sorting by location has gone. The page @gazumpedreferences above says: You do get a map of the location on mobile devices. On desktop or web the location (longitude and latitude) is not even included in the note information. However if you export the note it is clearly there in the enex. The only good news is that the advanced search syntax still works for longitude and latitude. So if you want to search around this point latitude = 46.97 longitude = 1.06 You need to create a bounding box. I've done plus or minus 0.1 deg (very very approx 10 km at moderate latitude). So basically a 20km square centred on the point of interest. longitude:0.96 -longitude:1.16 latitude:46.87 -latitude:47.07

The tasks overview does most of what you want but can only group tasks by note rather than notebook. I agree with @gazumped that the best approach is to include some project identifier in the note title - you can have as many tasks as you like in the note. The filter in the tasks overview finds text in note titles as well as in the actual task provided you are on the notes tab.

For me at least, Evernote is currently very fussy about the order that you search and filter. You must search first and then filter. That could be a problem for you if you are not finding the correct note with the search. You could try the advanced search syntax version of filter and do it all in one go cettire contains:url One thing to be aware of, in my experience at least, is that if you filter then search you might think it is working even though it is not. The behaviour depends on the type of filter. For a tag the screen seems to refresh, as if you have modified the list of notes, but in fact the list remains the same. Searching again (click in the search field and press enter) then clears the filter and just searches for the search term added. For a url I just get complete rubbish.

There are shorcuts under Home. These can be saved searches, notes, notebooks or tags. There may well be other saved searches in addition to any that have been made shortcuts.

Are you definitely looking in the search bar (top left)?

You normally need to be in "Notes" not a notebook.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm on 10.77.3 ("new" UI) but not seeing that yet. They will need to start telling us the actual version number of the UI we are using or things are going to get very confusing. 10.77.3-win-ddl-public (20240221121132) Editor: v177.3.2 Service: v1.93.3 © 2019 - 2024 Evernote Corporation.

Thearrow keys I was referring to were the arrow key icons in the dialogue box - sorry for not making that clearer. You can access them in the keyboard using tab and shift+tab from the text box. I'd never really noticed that. The simple find box (as opposed ot the bigger search and replace) is fairly unobtrusive so I tend to just leave it there if I've used it. I do continue to like how the find dialogue is pre-populated with the search term from a main note search.

Valid point. It was actually a short note. I repeated the process on a long note (5873 words). I searched for the word data of which there were 84 occurrences, well scattered through the note. The note did jump back to the top which is obviously your concern. However the numbering was correct for the next occurrence of the word after the cursor (38 of 84). If you scroll down that is also the highlighted one. Hitting enter (or the right arrow in the dialogue box) will jump to the next occurrence (39 of 84). You would then need to use the back arrow to go back to 38. I can't think of a way of going directly to the next occurrence. I agree with you that the jumping back to the top of the note is unhelpful. I do think though that using the arrows in the Find window to progress through the results, starting from the second(!!) result after the cursor, significantly reduces the pain. I do wish there was a way of jumping directly to the first result after the cursor.

Interesting. For me, the behaviour is exactly the same for all four list types including top list. Just to add a few more circumstances where the note list disappears: Clicking a recent note in the sidebar Using a search suggestion in the main search Choosing a search suggestion in "Switch to" (Ctrl+Q in Windows)
