Re-indexing did end up doing the trick for me. I'm not sure how long it took, but I waited several hours, then tested it by issuing a query in the Desktop app, observing the count of matches, then doing the same from Evernote on the web. Who knows what's really going on under the hood. I can only assume that the more notes you have, the longer the process will take and that (maybe?) some network communication takes place between your computer and Evernote's servers in the cloud. I suppose that might introduce some overhead as well. Hope this helps.

Ah. The trick was holding down the option key. Wonder why they keep it 'hidden' (??). I've kicked off a reindex. Thanks for the tip!

Hi. I'm using the Evernote for Mac app (Not downloaded from App store, but from the EN site itself). The version is 7.14. My search no longer works. For example: Searching for the work 'gift' to find my 'Holiday Gift Ideas' note, returns a note with a .pdf document containing an Appraisal I recently had done on my home. ...That's it. Maybe it contains the word 'gift' but it's certainly not the only note out of my thousands that does. Search works fine on the web: A query for 'gift' returns 66 results. Rebooting didn't help. Reinstalling didn't help. I did a bit of Googling and there seems to have been a menu item, in the past, to rebuild search indices for the desktop app. I can't find that in my menu now though so I assume it has been removed. Is there a way to force a rebuild of search indices on my local machine?
