Two cents.  I'm a tagger but, assuming you use stacks in general it would seem moving the notes to an archive notebook (with or without an archive stack) would be the simplest method.  Then you only have to invoke -tag logic when in an All Notes context.

IMHO, this is a must have feature. In the mac I also use DevonThink (LINK). DT has a feature that looks for some sort of semantic similarities between notes and groups suspected duplicates in a smart folder. You can then go there and confirm whether those are duplicates or not. Mendely (LINK), a reference manager for scientific papers, also has a similar feature.  

 

Since EV (at least the premium version) scans all PDF, pictures, and text files, something similar to DT solution could be implemented... If you use EV as an "everything bucket" (as many people do, I guess), you will certainly end up with tons of duplicates.

 

Just my 5 cents...

Don't see this as a must have either.  But if you feel compelled:

1. Select All Notes or whatever context
2. Open List view
3. Sort by title
4. Click a title
5. Edit "Select All"
6. Copy
7. Paste into word processor or spreadsheet
8. Do a little Excel arithmetic and you should be in the neighborhood of your duplicates.

End of the day you are only going to have duplicates if you put them there.

One way to have a recurring reminder is to reset the date after the completing the current occurrence.  Add 8/1 to your note, change it to 9/1 when you have recurred on 8/1.  Tag it with "Recur" if you like so you can find them all.  

Perhaps not as elegant as some stand alone solutions, but works within EN, keeps all your stuff in one place (one version of the truth always being best, in my eyes anyway), and has you ready should EN ever add recurring reminders.  FWIW. 

Can't help myself; all the discussion about notebook hierarchies in an unstructured, dynamic storage and retrieval system is interesting. Sometimes less is better than more (general search having to be reliable for sure).
