@PinkElephant the fact remains the program crashes for quite a number of people, and EN has acknowledged the problem for a long time, and has yet to fix it. I appreciate your comments, but at some point people who keep claiming "the problem doesn't happen to me" are just not helpful.

I am not running the one on the App Store, at least initially. I downloaded the one from the Evernote site, every time, as I did today. The problem is, the updates through the App Store happen automatically. I guess instead of putting a good version on the App Store Evernote wants me to turn off all automatic updates on my Mac? I won't do that - why compromise the rest of my computer because Evernote won't fix this stupid bug and updates cause crashes? No wonder people are leaving for other solutions. I won't compromise the rest of my computer. Like others, I am very close to dumping Evernote. This has gone way too long. When my due date comes up from renewal, if this is not fixed, I am gone, Enough is enough.

For me, the steps to uninstall completely and reinstall work UNTIL an update comes. I have not had any crashes for weeks, an Update came through the Apple store on my Mac, and now in the last 3 days I have gotten about 10 crashes a day. I am in the process of doing the full uninstall with AppCleaner and reinstall, I am sure it will be fine until the next update Come on Evernote, fix this!!!!!

Thanks for the tip, no shots fired. I would like to see a better search tool though. With these kinds of holes it’s hardly robust and tags are not a dolution every time.

The more fundamental question is, how does one search on AT&T? Search is a pretty crucial function in Evernote, while I recognize it doesn't work now it and other examples need to be addressed.

Here's a sample from a notebook, note the search in the top right and all the results that show are wrong. This is Evernote/Mac.

Thanks. You implied this, but entitle:"AT T" doesn't work either, in fact it returns the same (largely incorrect) results.

I am doing a Note search like this --> intitle:"AT&T" (also tried intitle:AT&T), and while both return the identical results, at least 80% of the notes returned are incorrect. How would I search for note with AT&T in the title? I don't readily see a pattern - some of the titles returned: - Don’t expect to see Apple’s new 16-inch MacBook Pro until 2021 - Wall Street won’t tell you, but U.S. stocks are underperforming - MarketWatch - NBA Daily: It Still Isn't Time To Expand The NBA | Basketball Insiders | NBA Rumors And Basketball News - I Mentored Zuckerberg, But Can't Stay Silent About Facebook - Premier League's mid-table problem is one it can't continue to ignore

Yesterday, around 7 PM local time, I did the update to 7.13. I notice in my logs this morning, not only did the 7.13 update fix anything, but the Evernote Spotlight crash happened 6 times between 10:12 PM and 10:14 PM, and I definitely wasn't even using my laptop, it was closed up for the evening! What could cause it to just be crashing on its own?

Yes, by the book, exactly per instructions. Worked fine until it didn't.

It definitely seems to keep coming up. I have undeleted it and reinstalled it twice now, it has started crashing again in the last few days. I can't believe Evernote hasn't fixed this, I first reported it on a ticket to them in JULY. I too am getting fed up with them.

I posted above that the problem came back for me too, I went through the same uninstall/reinstall and so far I have had no crashes. So it appears that something gets corrupted, for some reason, and the uninstall/reinstall fixes it (through replacement/reinitialization etc.). That sounds to me like something that needs to be fixed in software (Evernote) otherwise we will be faced with periodically having to uninstall/reinstall everything, to get a couple of months of crashless days in.

It is happening again for me too - just started on Aug 28 - 3 times. Then Aug 29 12 times, and yesterday 3 times.

It took you a few hours to do this? Wow - took me 10 minutes tops. Anyway, I am Into second day for me, no crashes yet! Be sure and do the steps exactly, including checking the extra items in the Evernote uninstall that are not selected by default when AppCleaner runs.

I heard back from support - they basically gave me detailed instructions to uninstall/reinstall Evernote to fix this problem! I was very skeptical at first and said so, they insisted to do this exactly as they instruct below. So I followed their steps EXACTLY, and guess what - I have been a full 24 hours with no crashes! I was getting 6 a day so this is very encouraging. I thought I would pass on the steps if you want to try too. I didn't want to believe it but I am very hopeful this bug is gone! From Support: I recommend you export any local notebooks and unsynced notes as a backup because they have not been synced to our server and will be unrecoverable after this procedure. For detailed instructions on exporting your notes, click here. Then follow these steps: If Evernote is running, press Command + Q to quit the Evernote application Download App Cleaner from the App Cleaner website When the download is complete: open the zip file, then open the App Cleaner app (Note - I saw no zip file, the web site lets you just download the latest .dmg file, which I did). Open the ‘Applications’ folder in your Finder and drag Evernote to the App Cleaner window. After App Cleaner searches for and lists all related files, click Remove (Note: Please scroll down the list that app cleaner finds and check every box so everything is removed.) Right-click (or Ctrl + Click) on your Mac’s Trash and select Empty Trash Reboot your computer Download and install Evernote for Mac from the Evernote website Drag the Evernote icon into your ‘Applications’ folder Open Evernote and log in to your Evernote account
