Yes, the fix is to set a default notebook.

Yes, Promosinc I second that THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The solution you posted works!!

this had been driving me crazy for months and not being able to clip from my phone had really impeded my workflow.

Oh my gosh, I also add my thanks to Promosinc!!! This issue has been hindering me for well over a year!! I had submitted a support ticket to Evernote with no luck from them in solving it.  I was seriously considering dumping Evernote, and I was one of their earliest users - going back almost twenty years!!  Thank you, thank you.

I have had been unable to clip to Evernote on my Android phone for a long time, I think since they did their software revamp, with the symptoms you describe - the Notebook field flickers with "Loading", and if you hit Save, it says "Error Clipping".  This has been through multiple versions of Android and Evernote on two different Google Pixel phones - a 4a-5g, and a 7 Pro.  I sent a support ticket in, and they expressed sympathy but gave no timeline for a fix.

I have had this problem ever since Evernote did their major revamp, with two different devices (Pixel 4a 5g, and Pixel 7 Pro), and numerous different versions of Android.  I can't clip on my phone to Evernote any more.  Very frustrating. It forced me to start using Google Keep instead.  I have kept Evernote around because I have so many notes in it, from being a long time user back to the early 2000's.

I totally agree!  Here it is October 2023, and you still can't turn off printing a note title.  Evernote, please fix this!

Thanks!  I just chatted with someone in support on the web.  I sent them my logs and the person said that Evernote is aware of the issue and is working on it.  Here is the workaround that the support person said to do, and I have confirmed that this works on my phone.  I hope this helps you all as well!

Upon checking, I can confirm that the issue you're experiencing is the same issue that other users are encountering.

 

Please know that we're currently aware of this issue and working on a fix at this time. In the meantime, please try the following to mitigate the problem:

 

1. Rename your default notebook using Evernote Web

evernote.com/Login.act…

on a computer or by using your mobile device's browser in desktop mode.

 

2. Go to the Google Play Store and check for updates to Evernote. If you have one, update the app.

 

3. If you don't have an update, sign out and sign into Evernote

 

4. Verify if new notes now save in your default notebook.

Thank you so much, klliopatra! This fix worked for me. November, 2022, and they still haven't fixed this problem.

Search on OCRed content can never be absolutely precise.

OCR is not done by „reading“ character by character, and putting it together. It will read the dots, build a table of dots => characters and then based on the selected language(s) make a guess on the word itself. If not sure, it will put alternatives into the metadata containing the OCR results.

When searching, EN will find these, which may result in false-positives (notes found that do not contain the word) as well as in false-negatives (notes containing the word, but not found). This is independent from whether the OCR was done before importing into EN, or on the EN servers themselves.

The more languages you choose, the wilder will be the guessed OCR-results, and the further off can be results. On the other side, if a word is not contained in a dictionary (like names, words from a foreign language etc.), OCR guesses will likely be off, finding words by trying a best match to the selected language.

Thanks for your reply.  Are you sure that this content is OCR'd?  I did not think that it was.  Even if it was, it does not seem right that EN gives different results when searching All Notes vs. when searching just within one note.  This has happened to me many times.

Also found no results for aslia after clipping that page to Evernote, both article and full page.

I have run into a similar issue where web copied data contains hidden html text, sometimes I use an html editor to find the match.  In a couple of instances the issue was important enough that I deleted all hidden matches.   Now I generally paste as plain text whenever possible, to avoid this issue.

I suppose it is better to find hidden content, than failing to find content I know is there, though I learned to get around that issue as well.

Thanks for checking into this.  I agree with your sentiments about being better to find hidden content.  It is strange, though, that it would be found when searching All Notes, and not within just a single note.  I have experienced this behavior many times.

So you're saying, that you should be able to find something, right?

When I searched the URL you provided, and also the clipped note I made, and searched (CTRL+F) for 'asila', it returned zero results.  Because there's nothing on the URL-page that has 'asila' in it.  If you change the last character in the search query asila, the 'a' to an 'o' as in 'asilo' for 'Asilomar' then you will find 3 results straight away, hence why i thought you made a typo.  What do you believe is on the page, that should be found when entering 'asila'???

EDIT*

and it was the same searching 'asila' in All Notes - nothing was returned...which i think is your issue, that EN is returning a result that it shouldn't

Yes, my issue was the "false positive" when searching All Notes.  The correct result was obtained when just searching within the note.  I have experienced this often - where the results of a single note search differ from that of the All Notes search.

Any posts on the forum that are related to EN search, get my attention, as I would love to rely on and use EN search more than my current 5% of the time.

So, I took a look at the page/URL you added, and also clipped it, and all but one of the images has any text captured on the image, and that one image, contains the word 'Asilomar'.

So if you search the Page URL for the partial-word "asila' or ""aslia' it too returns no results...same as for your EN Note!  IF you use "asilo" in your Note Search or via 'All Notes', it will indeed return just this one note.

I think your error was a typo in your search query...so this time I reluctantly think the winner is EN

No, if you look at the screenshot I provided, there was no typo.  I searched for "asila".  And this was just one example.  I have gotten incorrect search results many times.

Any images in the note?  Full URL title?

Yes, there are images in the note. 

Here is the full URL: https://www.sfchronicle.com/travel/article/Top-10-California-parks-Spend-the-night-but-12902181.php#

Evernote often has incorrect results to searches done over all one's notes.  Here is a simple example.  I searched on the term "aslia", and it returned one note.  But then when you search within that note, it shows there are actually no matches.  The search within a single note seems to always work. 

I have attached two screenshots - one showing the global search result, and the other showing the conflicting search result within the one note.

I have also attached an activity log.

I just tried using Notepad++, and got the same problem.
