Curiously, it *is* supported on Android. Why it's not is a mystery. You should go to the iOS feature request forum (here: https://discussion.evernote.com/forum/215-evernote-for-ios/), find an existing request for this feature (there's at least one), and add your vote there, since your request concerns nested tags on iOS, rather than nested notebooks.

No typo; I was just relying on (faulty) memory. Thanks for the correction. Even so, 10,000 tags is a lot to manage. My count is much lower, an order of magnitude or more. But the higher count does bolster the point I was making, I suppose...

That will only work if your Excel copy/paste faithfully reproduces the original row/column layout. I've seen cases where pasting (at least from the Evernote Windows application) into Excel does not do this. So while this is a good idea, it may not work well in practice.

You're a little too late -- @engberg hasn't been with Evernote for some years now. Meanwhile, what is it about the hierarchical tag system that you're not getting? It's a tree structure. Although tags are not like notebooks (a note can have multiple tags, but only belong to one notebook), you can enforce that rule if you want it. And tags are a way to have more categories -- that's pretty much what tags are best at. What's the limit on number of tags these days, 10,000? Seems like plenty of categories. I don't know what a "hierarchy wizard" would be like; is there some sort of "folder wizard" that would be an example of what you're thinking of?

Evernote staff have commented on this before. One quote on regular expression search, circa 2010, that I found was from Dave Engberg, the former CTO (I found the quote, but evidently you can't access the actual reply for some reason): @engberg replied to @theill's topic in Evernote API Discussion Also, this more current reply has further info:

I did see that one, but also saw that it wasn't specific to .bin files, and didn't have time to dig deeper, so put it aside for a bit. I believe you'd get the same results replacing the "*.bin* with just "bin"; I think that the "*." is just ignored. That part is just a normal text search, as far as I can tell, and what the search information reflects... I got hits on .svg and .gz and others; I think that this filter is pretty much a catchall. The "filename:" still exists (it's in the formal search grammar given here: https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php, it's kind of buried and not explained in detail), but I don't think that it works in the way that you might think. Basically, it can be used to identify attachments by filename, but any wildcard must appear after plain search text, i.e., no prefixed or infixed wildcards are honored. So you can use something like "filename:mypic*" to match match notes with attachments "mypic1.png", "mypicsFromFlorida.pdf", etc, but not to match filenames by extension. In that way, it works like regular text, tag, and title searches, more or less. It would be nice to have expanded wildcards, indeed, regular expressions supported in the search language, but I gather from what Evernote folks have said that that would be a performance headship for search in general, including in the Evernote servers.

OK, fair enough -- I'm also a 10+ year user of Evernote. I also don't always understand the choices that Evernote makes in their development priorities, but I also don't typically try to second-guess them on it either. Since I'm on the outside, and being a developer myself, I know that internal pressures and motivations aren't always visible externally. With respect to selective sync, I'd guess that focus on mobile apps was necessary due to storage constraints which don't usually exist in Windows/Mac. environments. I'd think that Sync on demand would work for you, since your intent seems to be to keep some subset of your personal notes out of your work setup, so I don't see the inability to search unsynchronized notes being a downside. But I don't use that, so I don't know its ins-and-outs as I do with the multiple accounts scenario. Not sure which approach would be best for you to try out first in order for you to find out which (if either) work to your satisfaction. Hopefully you'll find a way to make Evernote work for you, and if not, maybe some other product will do it. So far, I haven't found any other product that works as well as Evernote for me, which is why I stick with it, but I realize that other folks have different needs / use cases. Good luck.

Honestly, look around the world. Get a sense of perspective. We are not second class citizens in any sense of the words.

I generally refer to the Evernote Search Grammar page (http://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php) for search terms. Usually you'd match resource types (i.e. attachments) using MIME types (https://www.freeformatter.com/mime-types-list.html). I don't know how to match by file extension in general, though. Anyways: For .zip files, you should be able to use: resource:application/zip For .doc files, you should be able to use: resource:application/msword For .bin files, I don't know

You don't necessarily need two premium accounts. I use a paid account for personal stuff, and a free account for work. I can share notebooks freely between them, mainly from my work account to the personal paid account for when I work from home. The personal account is premium because I wind up doing a fair amount of R&D clipping, so it gets most of the content -- since it would relate to most any job I'd ever have, it can go along with me wherever I work. Works fine, a couple of nice to haves. Or you could use selective sync, as others have suggested. Well, you don't need to have all of your personal notes on your corporate server. See above. Well golly -- I've devoted a fair amount of my time making suggestions, beta testing and helping other users in the forums, and never been paid for it, maybe I should complain that my ideas haven't implemented too. Oh wait, it doesn't work that way...

Note that for most issues here, it doesn't matter whether you are a paid user or not (bugs should be fixed or suggestions noted regardless of a user's subscription type), but you don't need to mention it in your posts, as your subscription type is noted in your user information to the left of any of your posts (yours' says "Subscription:PREMIUM"). So you're saying that you want this in Tools / Options / Search? Something like a checkbox labeled "Search only note titles for text terms", or something like that?

I use reminder notes for pinning notes. Works great for me.

Ha-ha -- yes, my early computer experiences were with PC (or rather, Compaq Portable) Dark Mode (if you discount the PDP-8 paper tape, IBM punch cards and teletype; that was just college). We used Wordstar as our first programming editor for awhile, I wrote a Lotus 123 spreadsheet reader (hacked the Lotus 123 executable in debug.exe so that I didn't have to have the floppy disk inserted on launch). *sigh* Those were the days, I miss them so... like a hangnail...

There is no way to do this using the Evernote search language. You could possibly create one stack of notebooks that contain sensitive notes and one that contains non-sensitive notes, then rather than clicking on "All Notes" click on the stack of non-sensitive notes (or use a saved search to implement the same thing). I can move this to a feature request forum, if you wish.

It's called running a company, which entails balancing priorities among: your vision for the product you're making, your resources, and the potential market. There are many features that some subset of customers want, and not enough resources to do them all. Sorry that you feel ignored and irritated, but that's the way that it works sometimes. Fortunately for you, as a consumer, you have the power to choose among competing products, of which there are many. Oh, and remember that "ignored" is not synonymous with "implemented"; the request is mostl likely not being ignored, but is noted as a -- tada! -- feature request.

@Rich Tener Actually, now that I think of it, and particularly since it's ongoing, it might be a good candidate for a post in the new FAQ section that Shane set up. Gives us non employees someplace to point to, for affected users to get a start on figuring out what's going on and how to proceed (like some of the advice given above). Beyond that, I and I'm sure others here appreciate your responsiveness in the forums (and presumably behind the scenes).

Note that the date of @engberg's post that you quoted is 2008, several years before stacks were added. Not sure what potential behind stacks is being restrained; they operate as designed: a simple way to organize notebooks (because the notebook limit at that time, 100, is too many to manage in a flat list). If you're saying that you want them to be nestable, OK, but that's a large-ish architectural change that affets all Evernote clients, which Evernote hasn't seen fit to implement yet (if they even do at all). That being said, you probably wouldn't want stacks to be the nesting object; you'd want notebooks to be directly nestable.

Evernote for Windows has had a screen clipper for years, and continues to do so. It's not related to the web clipper, though, which is the topic of this thread.

Looks like this is not a web clipper problem; it's an Evernote for Mac problem.

Nice find. I know I've posted on this; had it in my mind to go search it out, but it got pushed out by the busy yesterday.

@Rich Tener: Thanks for the update. This seems worthy of a community announcement here in the forums, at least. And maybe a blog post.

You can't select a note and encrypt it, but if your note is wholly text, then you can select it all and encrypt that. Maybe that's what's going on.

Ha-ha -- I'd say that that more or less the nutshell version of "dealing with other humans" (AKA the human condition). Most of us struggle with that; I know I do. But understanding another's needs is only one aspect, in this case; the other piece of the equation is balancing one's own situation with someone else's needs. It's usually a bancing act. . Or to put it into context, many feature requests vs. finite resources. In that world, you take your best guess at what's important, and try to do that.

Um, apples and oranges. Degree of difficulty to allow more notebooks (maybe not much more than changing a constant in the API: http://dev.evernote.com/doc/reference/Limits.html#Const_EDAM_BUSINESS_NOTEBOOKS_MAX?) is almost certainly less than that of implementing nested notebooks (architectural change, API changes, lots of UI changes across all Evernote platforms). This is not an argument against adding nested folders, btw; just let's not conflate two separate development tasks with vastly different requirements.

Put a little more precisely: in the interest of keeping different feature requests in the forums separate, so that they can be individually evaluated by Evernote folks and forum users, and since your request has nothing at all to do with the implementation of nestable notebooks, but instead, a different way to do tag searches (something that I agree with, btw), I'd say, yes, a separate request would be best. That's more or less in line from rule #8 from the Forum Code of Conduct: That we're discussing it here is one thing, but if you want to make it a feature request is another. Your call...
