@PinkElephant, what you are describing is what I mean by "Find in Note". (I think nowadays it's called "Find and Replace", I didn't notice that before, so thanks. I think it used to be called "Find in Note" and had the same keyboard shortcut.) That's exactly what doesn't work with scanned PDF files, even though it should. @gazumped, I use Scannable to scan and add to Evernote all the PDFs I'm talking about here. If I open them in other apps, e.g. the macOS Preview app, they are not searchable, either. But Evernote must have indexed them because the notes are listed as search results when I use `cmd+alt+F` to search for a search term. But when I then want to find all the occurrences of the search term within the note (using `cmd+shift+F`), it says "no results", and nothing gets highlighted. A curious side note on Evernote's Scannable app: It lets me save scans either as images or as a PDF. When I save the same scan as an image, the highlighting works, but saved as a PDF, it doesn't. But it should, right?

Hi, I'm having a search/find problem with scanned PDF files. They are listed as expected in Search Notes if they contain the search term, but if I then enter the search term in Find in Note to see where in the note the search term occurs, EN says "no results", and nothing gets highlighted. (I'm using EN for Mac v10.17.6 and the web client - same problem.) So now I know that my search term occurs somewhere in a 30-page scanned PDF file, but I still have to read through the entire thing to find the right spot. is this normal/intended or is there something wrong - and if so, how can I help to fix it?

Thanks for the link @DTLow. I opened a ticket and they said it's a known issue and they are working on a fix.

I really love Scannable and have been using it for many years. But for a while now the Crop feature is almost unusable due to the fact that the bottom two thirds of that circular detail view are just black (see screenshot). I can't properly align the borders because I can't see anything. This really needs fixing please! Not quite as bad but still annoying is that with every update I need to sign in again and then have to go through the same old intro over again – and then my settings are lost ... which means I have to remember to disable automatically adding the "Scannable" tag and so forth – every time. Lastly, when I want to save a scan to Files, the "Save" and "Cancel" (I'm assuming that's what they say) buttons are invisible - fortunately their functionality still works if I tap on the white space where the buttons should be – it's like magic [I'm using Scannable 2.4 (1529) on iPhone 12 with iOS 14.3]

Thanks guys for sharing what you've learned 👍 Restarting Evernote did the trick for now, we'll see if it's a recurring problem or not. As for this reply from tech support that @ROGELAX forwarded ... ... I think it's ridiculous that Evernote's tech support give advice from the early nineties (pre-multitasking).

On the Evernote desktop app for Mac, the background color of my search box is dark grey, the text color is black, so I can hardly read anything in there (see screnshot). The rest of the app is normal (light color scheme). It stays the same regardless of my Mac's General settings (light mode, dark mode, or auto). To be more precise: at first everything is normal, so when I give focus to the search box by pressing cmd+option+f it has the normal/expected (light) color scheme, but as soon as I type the first character of a search term the background color changes to dark grey while the text color stays black. It stays like this until I leave and re-enter the search box, but turns dark again with the first character I type into the search box. Any idea what to do about it? I'm using the Mac desktop app Version 7.13 (458080 Direct) on macOS 10.15.1 (19B88)
