I would have course prefer it the other way round: both behave like my Web access.

It appears that if you search for something first then open the filter the filter menu does not close after the addition of your first tag. Is it possible this explains the difference you observe or are they different versions?

Alt+F2 is handy to reopen the tag filter but don't do it after a search as it clears the search!

Another proof that the developers at EN are not using EN.

I had to work today using the WEB access. I noticed that there is a difference in behavior of the search filters:

1. In the browser: when I open up the search filters, I can type in one tag, check the checkbox and continue typing in others. When I am all done, I can close the filter window. This is good and the expected behavior. 
2. In the Windows app however: when I check the checkbox of a found tag, the windows closes! I need to open it up again to add the second tag.. And so on.
   This is bad, again a productivity killer. 

Do anyone else observe this behavior? Is there anything I can do about it? Hidden option, whatever?

Thanks.

I just checked and for me both systems behave like the Windows app does for you. (10.82.2 on web and windows).

For me then just another reason for avoiding the filter menu by using advanced search syntax and my various AHK enhancements!

Same here. Another great improvement of evernote with IA. So smart.

now we only need to (shift+winK+F)+(release)+[(shift+left) OR (ctrl+a)]

You've picked up on a very old thread but the issue is still there. As I stated before the counter argument is that you may well want to modify the existing search so deleting it everytime you use the shortcut may be unhelpful to some users.

Alt+ctrl+2 doesn't always delete existing searches/filters. I find a better method now is to go to home (alt+ctrl+1) and then run the search. Because Home doesn't have  a note list it seems to clear searches reliably

I created a new table with its orientation with respect to the previous table is weird. New table is placed in the middle of the screen rather than to the left. 

I think this is a rather strange incarnation of the resetting of the note width. From the three dots menu on the note view 🢂 note width 🢂 fit to window

Now to solve your problem you can do the following:
1. Open "search in evernote" (in my case Ctrl + Shift + F)
2. Now press the key combination that shows all the notes (in my case Alt+2).
3. Evernote will implicitly search everywhere, regardless of whether it was in a notebook.

OK useful to know that you can open the search and then go to all notes as well as goiung to all notes and then opening search.

Alt-Ctrl-2 (and all the others Alt-Ctrl-digit) needs to be invoked with the numerical keys below the F keys, not with the number keys on the numerical pad, even using NumLock.

Great problem solving. I didn't know that either so we've both learned something!

This really shouldn't be necessary but A possible workaround is to do the following:

• Go to Notes with the mouse
• type * in the search bar and hit enter
• Save the search and include it in shortcuts 🢀 This is basically "All notes" by another route
• If necessary drag the shortcut to the top of the shortcuts list

Now whenever you hit ctrl+1 that search will be run and you will get all notes. You can then just add your search term.

Now you are going to tell me that ctrl+1 (or ctrl+2 etc upto 9) doesn't invoke the appropriate shortcut!!

I want to move the cursor from whatever notebook I'm in to [All] Notes, so that I can eliminate the default search notebook and my having to click on Everywhere in the search dialogue.

Well that is exactly what alt+ctrl+2 does for me. Just so that we are crystal clear the note list goes from:

to

Notice 3 notes in @inbox to 6469 notes in (All) Notes

Thanks, Mike P. Ctrl-Alt-2 does nothing if the Notes panel is already open.

I don't understand this. What do you mean by "the notes panel". Alt+ctrl+2 will often not reset an existing search. In that case the easiest way I find is to go to home and then all notes. (alt+ctrl+1 followed by alt+ctrl+2)

Actually, I just noticed that NONE of these Alt-Ctrl keyboard combinations is working for me, not even Open Home. I'm running the version that installed today. Do any work for you?

All but alt+ctrl+4 work for me. This one has never worked for me. All of them can be edited so you could try a different combination of keys in case there is a conflict with another app or the operating system. That is the case for me with alt+ctrl+4 (Euro symbol) but as I don't use the shortcut that is not an issue for me.

I'm also struggling to find a keyboard shortcut to get to All Notes, so that "Everywhere" would open by default.

All notes is alt+ctrl+2. 

I'm not sure that it is entirely appropriate to compare a system with inline tags with Evernote. I can filter by tag from a tag at the bottom of a note - it's just at the bottom of the note as that is the EN system.

There are also other ways of creating a new note from a tag but they are certainly not as quick and easy as the way I've already described or your way in the alternative app.

I can see pros and cons of EN style tags vs inline tags. I certainly don't think that it is cut and dry that one method is much better than the other. Fortunately there are different apps out there and we can all decide what is best for our workflows.

No search in context menu, to find all relevant tagged notes.

Could you explain what you mean? Which context menu, where? Lots of ways of finding "all relevant tagged notes" so I am interested to know what you want.

No possibility to create a note from a tag, with ALT+click on tag for instance.

Clcik the tag to filter by it and then create a new note.

In V10, when I search for "foot" - including quotation marks - it finds all notes with football in it - and Footy also.

I'm still getting the expected behaviour - searching for a word in quotation marks only finds that exact word.

I would definitely try searching on the web version to see if that is the same. Also try searching for "foot " (wih a space) and  'foot' (single quotation marks) incase EN isn't recognising double quotation marks on your keyboard.

Given all the things for which you can use contains/the filter menu  for I'm surprised that EN links and backlinks are not included. Surely more useful than contains:numberInteger!

@PinkElephant's suggestion of contains:url is a good one (certainly for finding links). However this will also give clickable emails, note urls and web adresses in the body of the note. This search string makes some progress in weeding these out - but I still have results that I don't understand. The danger of course is that if your note has both external web links and internal links they will not appear.

contains:url NOT (contains:webclip OR contains:email OR http*)

I'm using a Boolean search string as this is now available for everybody and seems to give slightly different (better?) results than the traditional (add a "-" to negate) method.

The notes have to sync, but the backlink is automatically generated.

You really notice this lag if you use the new insert "new linked note" function. The new note is created but it does yet have a backlink. I guess that is why the blue pop up, that appears when you create the note, advises you to use the back button to go back to the original note.

How does one do a Search using a tag which searches in ALL notebooks? And can this be saved to be the default?

 

Remember searches and filters are different

If you click a tag in the sidebar it will automatically filter "Notes" ie all notebooks. Same if you click a tag in the tags pop out window.

If you use the filter menu it will filter the current view

If you search for a tag (using the main search bar) and you are in a notebook it will default to searching just in that notebook unless you click on everywhere

If you search for a tag (using the main search bar) and you are in Notes it will search in all notes

If you use ctrl+Q (which is much better at finding tags than the main search provided you know what the tag stsrts with) it will always search in all notes

As I've noted elsewhere it is possible to "convert" the filter to a "search" by  pressing force reload (ctrl+shift+R). (If it doesn't work first time try it again). To me this means that this is definitely a bug and not a concious decision to prevent a "tag then search" workflow. The tag should be added to the search but for some reason it isn't unless you reload. Now we need somebody at EN to actually deliver on the promise to work on all the bugs in 2024 (You're already had a quarter of 2024 EN and I am still affected by just as many bugs).

I'm looking for a way to display the whole application, similarly to as before.

On Windows {Windows key}+shift+F brings up the whole application with the search bar opened. If you don't want to use search pressing esc removes it.

When the text is marked, the font becomes strikethrough.

As I have already pointed out this is an option and therefore does not distingush between checklists and checkboxes

I think part of the problem is a poor decision (in my opinion) to use / as the "command". If they had used ctrl+/ (I know that is already in use - see below) they would have much more flexibility. We also wouldn't get an unwanted, distracting menu pop up everytime we type / and actaully want the / character.

If I use ctrl+/ to open the keyboard shortcuts list when my focus is on the note list, the keyboard shortcut list opens and my focus is moved to the search at the top of the shortcuts. Perfect.

If I use ctrl+/ when I am editing a note both the keyboard shortcuts list and the insert menu open and my focus is left in the text. A pain.

With these inconsistencies it is impossible to develop habits that let you do rapid entries. And productivity is about those habits.

I completely agree that we should have consistency, although by comparison with other auto formatting I don't believe this is a good example of inconsitency. The different behaviour of notebooks and tags, which you describe, is a much better one.

There is certainly no option to automatically delete a task on completion.

You haven't said what your workflow is so it is difficult to comment on the easiest way of manually deleting. If you are working with a list of tasks in the task view window then the easiest way is probably to open the task rather than complete it (click on the task name). You can then complete it in the task pop up and then press "Delete task" at the bottom.

Personally I use the option to hide completed tasks inthe task view and then periodically clear out completed tasks from notes so they don't really get i my way

This is how it seems to work for me.

• If I  change the sort order for a notebook it changes all notebooks and is persistent
• "Notes" has it's own sort order which can be different from my notebook sort order and is again persistent
• If I filter by tag I get the same sort order as "Notes" (as this is just subset of all notes ignoring notebooks)
• None of the above actions give me the option to sort by relevance
• If I search for a tag in the main search bar, I get the option to sort by relevance but it still defaults to my "Notes" preference.

It's possible that it has adapted to my consistent refusal to use "relevance" as a sort order!

If you do normally search for tags to add them, remember there are three ways of doing this

• Search in the main search bar - normally only get one tag and you may end up having to type in the whole tag name
• Switch to (ctrl + Q on Windows - don't know what Mac is) which does a good job of finding tags beginning with the text added
• The main tags pop out tags window, which finds every tag that has the search text  in it.

It's perhaps worth noting that the embedding of spreadsheets into a note is one of the things that EN decided to offer to all users. Therefore you get all spreadsheet functionaility including filtering and sorting.

It's definitely not a perfect preview (fixed cell height and width) and you can't interact directly with the data (you have to open the spreadsheet for that) but it is worth bearing in mind.

Really, like with CTRL-C (to copy)? The text is not replaced.

Text is replaced by a new character. But not if you press a command: I just pressed CTRL-B while "command" was selected. It didn't get replaced, it became bold.

We are not talking about typing a command. I don't think Windows can possibly know that / is a command in EN. If you select text and press any of the "autoformatting" combinations in EN they will delete the text.

The same happens if you highlight text to make it into a link. Ctrl+k or the insert menu or the tool bar icon adds the text to the "text" section of the link menu. Typing / deletes the text.
