Although I do export monthly my most important notebooks, I would like a way of backing up my entire EN database. The settings menu in the Windows desktop version says that EN local data is stored in %AppData%\Evernote. Couldn't I just copy that location, say, to hard disk? Michael

No, my tag X was just a person's last name. No special characters. Michael

Thanks for the help! I think I figured out what happened, though I think the behavior is still odd. I entered the tag I wanted on the search bar as tag:X, where X was the tag I wanted. I did not hit enter, however. Immediately underneath was a list (I suppose) of what EN though I was searching for. One of these was tag X. I clicked on it only to get one note. I knew that was incorrect because I had multiple notes tag as X. I redid the search, but this time after entering tag:X in the search bar I hit enter, and EN found all my notes tagged with X. This seems to me to be strange behavior. Why would EN list tag X as a possible search parameter when clicking on it does not return all the notes tagged with X? Michael

I have a tag such that when I click on it correctly shows 11 notes. However if I go to the search bar and enter tag:X where X is the specific tag I'm looking for, only one note is found. I've made sure that I also selected Search Everywhere. I'm using the Windows Desktop version of Evernote (version 10.73.4). I also tried Evernote Web, but got the same result. Any thoughts? Thanks. Michael

Thanks. I contacted Readwise and was told that they had made a decision not to export Readwise highlight tags to Evernote tags based upon user feedback. According to Readwise users though exporting Readwise highlight tags would "clutter" up the list of tags in Evernote. For me, at least, I would like to have them exported over. Thanks for your response! Michael

Mike P's solution works, but it would really be nice if you could just create an Archive notebook, and then drag old notebooks that you want to archive into it. Michael

I recently connected my Reawise account to Evernote. All of my notes exported to Evernote, and all of my document tags did as well. However, none of my Readwise highlight tags exported over as Evernote tags. By that I mean, highlight tags appear the body of the note at the end and are marked "tag," but aren't listed as Evernote tags. I've included a screenshot. Have others had this experience, and if so, did you find a solution? Thanks. Michael

You can't find it because it is not there! I've noticed a several hour delay between when I clip something using EN's web clipper and when it shows up in EN. This doesn't happen every time but sometimes. Michael

Windows 10, Chrome, Evernote for Windows (desktop). Someone in EN's technical support got this working. I don't remember exactly what they did now. EN's Gmail add-on will allow you to save PDF attachments, but not other types of files, such as Word.

It was some time ago - several years ago, in fact -- when Evernote's web clipper allowed you to shade and mark up a document before clipping. I don't remember now whether it was a native capability or worked with some other add-on. It was really great. I'll probably post as a feature request. Michael

Cool. Thanks you so much! Michael

When I save an article to Evernote by clicking on my phone's share icon at the bottom of an article I'm reading in my Google news feed, Evernote always saves the article to the wrong notebook. In Evernote for Windows, in the options for Evernote's Web Clipper for Chrome, and in the settings in the Evernote app on my phone, I have set the default notebook to X. However, whenever I save an article by clicking on the share button Evernote always saves it to another notebook. It always saves the article consistently to the wrong notebook. My phone is a Pixel 3, Android version 10. Any help would be appreciated. Michael

I use EN's web clipper a lot. Is there a way to mark up a page, say, shade certain portions before clipping such that the mark up or shading is captured in Evernote? Some time ago, perhaps several years ago, EN's web clipper had this functionality, but it doesn't seem to be there now. I realize that I can just click a portion of a page, but I want to capture the entire page along with notes that I have made. Thanks. Michael

I've read that you can save attachments to emails when using the Evernote for Gmail, but I haven't found a way of doing it. I don't see an option to select attachments, and when I save an email to EN using the add-on the attachments are always missing. Michael

Thanks, Jeff and Cal. Both of your suggestions worked. Michael
