  1. Thanks Jon - so far that has helped. I'll try a few more times on a variety of notes/articles. Much appreciated.
  2. AI-Powered Search is very promising for one of my use cases. I wrote 60 articles some time ago for my Dataw Historic Foundation (DHF) about people, places, and events that interest our community in the Lowcountry of SC. I can use the EvNt webclipper to bring the finished/published articles into Evernote. So far, this has worked well. Once in Evernote, I'm using the AI-Powered Search to summarize each article to create an index of abstracts about this body of work. Here are the two problems I've encountered. First, given that AI-Powered Search feature wants to search all my notes, that's fine. But this DHF body of history notes is about 60 in my Evernote library of 9,000. So, the Search often grabs notes irrelevant to what I want to summarize. I like that I can see the notes it selects, but how do I get the search to focus on the correct set of notes? I have tried rather unsuccessfully to rephrase the question I am asking. This may be an 'operator error' on my part. However, given that it's straightforward to use boolean logic and other Evernote filtering features when doing a standard search to limit the focus, I find it odd that I cannot do this in the AI-powered Search. I've read the relevant HELP documents and interacted with the EvNt bot on this, to no avail. Second, some of the articles I want to summarize include PDFs. Evernote is famous for searching inside PDFs within notes. Not so with AI-Powered Search, or at least it is not apparent to me that it is doing this. Again, none of the HELP documents address this for AI-Powered Search. Any ideas I can try? P.S. Using the EvNt desktop app on my Apple iMac.
  3. I'd like to see a change to the Edit / Past and Match Style function. Style is too limiting. I have a block of text that I highlighted with a color. If I copy and use the EDIT command "paste and match style" into this colored block, the color is lost for the new text. I realize this should be expected because of 'match style,' but it never is what I want. I'm requesting that the command (and functionality) be changed to the more inclusive term 'format.' 100% of the time, what I want to match is the format (i.e., the style, color, indentation). Match everything about the block of text I am inserting into.
  4. Idea. I sometimes find the web clipper won't work, especially in Safari on a Mac. 99% of the time, the solution is to go to Safari. / Settings for ...(website name is automatically filled in.) Be sure Enable Content Blockers is unchecked.
  5. I'm finding TASKS in Evernote very useful. However, I need to save and include a TASK View in a note. I appreciate that a task can exist in only one note at a time, and all TASKS can be viewed in the TASK VIEW. However, this misses one classic use case; or at least I can't see how to do it yet. So here's the use case I'm struggling with. For simple planning, I like creating a daily or weekly Note. Being able to move a TASK from anywhere into another note, like my Weekly Note, is fine. Creating new tasks directly in any Note is fine. But the classic use for me is to view Tasks from all notes in a Weekly Note that come due in a particular week. I don't see how to do that. If I've already created a TASK within a Note (I'm not referring to the default Note for all TASKS), I don't want to move the TASK to the Weekly Note - cause it loses context. What Evernote needs to provide, IMHO, is the ability to create a tailored TASK view that I can save and use elsewhere, like in my Weekly Note
