  1. I'm not annoyed at YOU, @agsteele! šŸ™‚ Your tip got me to a better place!
  2. I'm actually really annoyed now. šŸ˜Š And thankful too. I couldn't figure out how to get Play Store to allow the update so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, forcing it so. In doing so I see that I'm now on version 10.29. So, something along the way was indeed stuck with the Play store updates. What's really annoying though, and what doesnā€™t make sense, is now that I'm scanning documents with this updated version of the app the documents are being OCRā€™d appropriately and returned in search results. I am baffled by this. We've been told all along that OCR on a document happens on the server side so not sure what in the process of producing these scanned document iterations was broken previous to this version. I'm still going to report this to the support team and I will inquire whether there's a possibility of putting my notes generated over the course of the past year back into the queue to be re analyzed for OCR. I haven't noted this before but I was and still am according to Google Play part of the beta tester program for Evernote. Not sure if that would have made a difference, but there it is.
  3. @agsteele - Happy to share that information, but it shouldn't matter (not saying it doesn't matter, because we all know how software can be) since all of the issues I'm facing seem to be from a breakdown on server side processing (OCR and/or search). It's a Samsung Note 9, running Android 10, and Samsung One UI 2.5. @PinkElephant - interestingly, I tried the same experiment, and the android app is producing jpg for all scans/photo captures: color documents, b&w documents, and photos scans. I tried my test again with a new document, explicitly saving as color and black and white, both in notes alone and alongside photos of the document. Same results. Search results yield only the notes containing the photo representations of the document with the searched word highlighted in the image, not the notes with the scans alone (B&W and color both). I will be filing a support ticket and linking to this thread. Thank you both for your input.
  4. Thank you both for your replies. Yes, I am a premium personal subscriber. I am delighted that it works for you, truly, but as I reported in my original post this is simply not the case for me. I believe that I've done my due diligence to ensure that any unreal expectations or insanity on my part are not the issue here. I am on the latest version of the app that's available for my device. The Google Play store does not show an option to update the app. I am aware that the OCR function is server side and so my device and app version should be irrelevant, as both OCR and searching are done on Evernoteā€™s side. I wish this were a matter of me not being patient enough, but that does not seem to be the case. The most recently edited file DOES come back, but itā€™s one that photo only, not a scanned document. I simply did this test with the same receipt/document today to have something to share with this community and with support. My befuddlement is that if the OCR has happened on the photograph why has it not also happened on the document scanned and in the same note? As they say a picture is worth 1000 words so here's a few demonstrating when I'm talking about. I have the same receipt from the grocery store replicated across the three notes that I described above 1) one has both a photo and a scanned color document version 2) one has the scanned document alone and 3) one has the photo alone. when I search for the word ā€œjuicyā€ looking for the line item on the receipt for the Juicy Fruit gum, I get only the notes in the search results that have the photo version. I donā€™t get the one that has only the scanned document version. Both the photos and the color scanned document were created with the Evernote Android app (latest version possible for me). Searches executed in Evernote Web Edition and in the Android app. Same results (as expected.) Whatā€™s NOT expected is the lack of return for a scanned document.
  5. I rely quite a bit on my Android Evernote app (currently version 10.12.1) to scan paper documents into Evernote. To do so I use the option to scan it as a ā€œdocumentā€, where there is edge detection and orientation correction. This works quite nicely most of the time though I admit I would like it to work even faster than it does. My issue, however, is that the images generated using this process are not coming up in searches for words that are clearly visible on the documents that the Evernote app itself creates from these paper artifacts. What I've been noticing is that if I create a note with the document scanned as a ā€œdocumentā€ from the app and additionally include the document as a photograph, then searching for words on the document returns the note in my search results, with the desired word highlighted only on the photographic representation of the document, not the actual ā€œdocument.ā€ This is extremely disappointing to say the least. I've even run at home quick test at home (in the browser version of Evernote, this shouldnā€™t be an issue, but just providing context) whereby the same document was used in three different notes, 1) with both the ā€œdocumentā€ and the photograph captures, 2) one with the photograph alone, and 3) one with the ā€œdocumentā€ alone. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, the search results yield only the versions with the photographic representation. Anyone have any ideas what's going on here? I'm about to file a support ticket / bug report.
  6. Ahhhh ... the exclusion filtering for tags is great! Thanks!
  7. Sorry, I meant to type "archive" and not export. I've corrected my post above, in bold.
  8. I was going to chime in and say that we could solve the problem by exporting the unused/unneeded notes and store them somewhere else (which I've done once), but as I read through the thread, I think actually providing an archive capability would be the best option. We could then focus on what's still relevant in our currently active notes, but not lose the power of evernote over the longhaul on the older and not frequently needed notes.
