This is kinda a pain, and it's somewhat explained in the search grammar reference (https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php), but it would certainly be handy to have better Evernote search facilities, including this one. Upvoted.

This is part of the Evernote web clipper product. Do you still have it installed? Are you logged in? Do you have the Web Clipper Options 'Show Evernote content related to my web searches' checked?

There's no built in way to hide notes in Evernote, but one way to go about this is to have separate work and personal accounts, so you can enforce separation. If you need to see one account's notebooks in the other account, then you can share them across. I've been doing this for several years, and it works fine. Not sure that I agree with that, but if it's important to you, then all you need to do is click your heels together three times take advantage of Evernote's existing facilities, at least until such time as they implement some sort of note hiding facility, if they ever do.

When you ask a question on the forums, it's important to mention which Evernote client you are using (Windows, Mac, Android, OS, web), so that we can help you better.

Looks like a mismatch in the tool tray icon menu and the Evernote options dialog: "Capture screen" is "Clip screenshot"; I'd call that a bug. Set the "Capture screen" shortcut key in Options to whatever you like (though Win+PrtScr is apparently not kosher on Win 10), and you should be good to go (Evernote should detect this, I feel). I am using Win+Shift+S.

YES, THERE IS. I USE BOTH OF THESE OFTEN. IF YOU RIGHT-CLICK ON THE EVERNOTE TOOL TRAY, YOU SHOULD SEE AN ENTRY LABELED "Clip Screenshot", WITH A SHORTCUT KEY JUST TO THE RIGHT. ON MY HOME WIN10 INSTALLATION, IT Says "Win + Shift+ S". THIS WORKS. ALL OF THIS HAS ALL BEEN DESCRIBED ABOVE, IN SOME DETAIL. FORGIVE ME FOR TRYING TO HELP YOU, AND FOR CHECKING BACK. PERIOD.

@EdH : hey, Ed, did you ever get this to work? I really believe that the Evernote web clipper does all of the things that you seem to want here...

May depend on the client: In the Windows client, "stack:A" works fine. For other clients (Android and the web), this doesn't seem to work. I can't speak for iOS or MacOS. I think it's just a bit of user-friendliness that the Windows folks added -- it's useful, but not a good thing if you use other clients as well, e.g. when you use it in a saved search. Seems like it would be a nice thing to have everywhere.

How about a tag workaround? A 'star' character is a little awkward; using '*' would not really work, and using a Unicode character (★) might not be easy to work with, but maybe the '$' character would work. So, five new tags: '$', '$$', '$$$', '$$$$', and '$$$$$'. You can search for these explicitly ('find all 2-star notes': tag:'$$') or using wildcards (find all 4-star or better notes: : tag:$$$$*).

Ah geez, Cal, that was just too easy...

Try using the "Go back in history" toolbar button (it's a '<' on your toolbar; if it's not there, you should add it, it's useful). Click once to go back, or hold it down to see the whole history. Alt+LeftArrow is a shortcut to go back in history. A tip: it's more useful to use search to filter your note list down to something more manageable 10 +/- 5 or so notes. Trawling through long lists is tedious and slow. Using tags can help with this a lot.

If you right-click on the Evernote tool tray icon, what does the menu say next to "Clip screenshot"? If it says "Win+PrtScr", and you're on Win 10, that may be a problem, because I believe that Win 10 reserves Win+PrtScr for its own use. Try changing it to something else (I have Win+Shift+S configured on my Win 10 box).

Yep, does for me. Single click on the desktop to clip the whole thing, single click on a window to clip that window, left mouse down/drag / release to clip an area. Everything I've mentioned in this topic, I verified before I wrote it. All work with a menu open: the open menu is captured as well. Are you sure that you're using the shortcut that's configured for the Evernote screen clipper? Interestingly, when I clipped the whole screen (click on the desktop), that clipped both screens of my dual screen setup at work, but only the primary one in my dual screen setup here at home when I clicked on the primary desktop, though both screens when I clicked on the secondary desktop at home. Not sure what that's about (might be a difference between OS's: Win Server 2008 at work, Win 10 at home), but I wouldn't call either a fail.

The Evernote hotkey is Win+PrtScr -- you see it when you right-click on the Evernote icon, next to "Clip Screenshot". Not sure what the standard Windows equivalent is. You can click on the desktop to clip the whole screen, or click on a window to clip that, or drag to clip an area on the screen.

The Evernote screenshot clipper can do this as well. The default shortcut key is Win+PrtScr, though you can change that. When I use this (rather than right-clicking on the Evernote icon), open menus are locked in place and are captured in the screen clip.With the left mouse button down you can use Ctrl or Shift to modify the destination as above (Evernote, clipboard, desktop). I could see that having a configurable default destination would be handy, since I use the Ctrl=clipboard destination most often, but that would require having a keyboard modifier to select the Evernote destination. As it is, I'm used to the way it works now, and like the flexibility in being able to change clip destinations -- I use all three in my software development duties, and it's really handy.

Already exists in the Windows client: try holding down the Ctrl key while you're dragging to send the clip to the clipboard; i.e., * Clip screenshot... * With the left mouse button down, hold down the Ctrl key, and drag to the other corner (notice that the prompt now says "to clipboard"), then let the left mouse button up. Your clip is on the clipboard, and not in Evernote as a new note Similarly, holding down the Shift key will send the clip to the desktop as a .png file (I think, that's configurable via the registry though)

It is not.

Note: this is a Windows-specific subforum. But anyways, a multi-user computer should have separate accounts set up for each user. Evernote will locate each user's database separately, and all will be well. Log in to your account, use Evernote, log out of your account. Or log in, use Evernote, sleep your account, someone else can log into their account separately. Or whatever. I'm sure it all works this way, or similarly, on Macs.

Whoa, that might just do it. I don't think anyone's tried sarcasm before...

Appears to be Mac-only. Is that true? (this is a Windows-specific subforum).

Look for posts in this topic by 'engberg' (you can use the search box above). He -- Dave Engberg -- was the CTO of Evernote for a long time (gone about a year, I think), and about as official as you're probably going to get here, as Evernote tends not to pre-announce features until they're close to shipping (sometimes you can get clues from following beta releases). I can't remember whether any other Evernote staffer has contributed to this topic or not, but engberg was pretty definitive. My usual advice is is to use an application if it works for you today, and don't wait and hope on future features.

Moved to Windows-specific Product Feedback subforum...

What criterion? You can create saved searches that encapsulate most search filters...
