If the text isn't active, all I get is "Customize toolbar." If it is, I get a context menu about the text content itself. See attached.

That works. But I can't see how to save the search as a shortcut. The help files say to just drag and drop, but it's not draggable on my Mac. The web instructions talk about three dots in the search list to edit the search, but no such dots appear.

I'm not seeing how, unless a notebook can be part of multiple stacks. I'd have to give up my stacking for other organization. Or is there a way to search only a subset of notebooks as part of a search (or exclude a notebook from a saved search)? I don't use saved searches that often, but now that I've spent some time digging into this, I think the feature should be exclusion from All Notes *and* All Notes Searches. Maybe I'm the only person in the world who ever had a note appear that I didn't want others to see. But I doubt it.

Maybe I'm not being clear on this: I don't have multiple computers and multiple accounts. I have one computer and one iPad I use for personal and business use. So I have multiple notebooks I use for personal use and business. All I'm saying is it would be nice to have a notebook not included in "All notes" so *if* I happened to have that view opened and someone was looking over my shoulder—even one of my kids—notes in that notebook wouldn't be included. That's it. Sure, there are multi-step workarounds, but that's not how I (and I think many, many … many typical users) use Evernote. This isn't about NSA encryption; this is about accidentally revealing a note I'd rather not have someone see at that moment. The password is a second level that seems like a logical extension, but it's less critical.

That would require logging out of your public account, into your private one, entering a note, logging out of private, logging into public — just to record one private note. Not exactly practical.

Call it the opposite of notebook sharing, I'd like a notebook-level setting with two checkboxes. One is "Do not include in 'All Notes'," and the second (available only if the first is checked) is "Secure with password." I think many of us use Evernote for some items we'd rather people couldn't accidentally see. So we put them in a personal notebook. But if we happen to have an "All notes" view up, that note and a preview to its contents might appear when we don't want it to. This would be a toggle to opt-out of All Notes for a specific notebook. You'd have to select that notebook to see the notes. As a second layer, a password could be assigned so you need to type it in (or touch ID) to see the contents of the note. That would only be available to notes excluded from All Notes.
