Hi.  What's wrong with the idea of having one URL per note and creating new notes rather than adding more and more content into one note?  Titles and tags will keep notes from one document or session all together.

I've not seen Evernote 'randomly adding back' a URL to a note - if this does happen to you I'd strongly suggest that you raise a support ticket.

It is,  of course, already part of the package to permit users to list as many URLs as they require in a note.

Hi.  Bearing in mind that post is 5 years old now,  your software may be a little different to mine.  My SSM windows are here - click Options on the first window to open up the second one...

Anyone seen or used one of these?  iSafe drives  allegedly "extend the memory space of small devices" (iOS9 and upwards / Android)

Would it be possible to store the database on one of these?

@Matt W. - has Evernote had a look as these things?  Any thoughts?

The good(ish) news is that Android 6.0 Marshmallow apparently allows users to 'adopt' SD card storage as internal storage to ease space issues.  The bad news is that given the long list of comments and issues on this page - http://9to5google.com/2015/12/16/android-6-marhsmallow-tip-adopt-microsd-card-internal-storage/

- I wouldn't rush to try it with anything important.  You need Android 6 a fast SD card and frequent backups.  @Matt W. is still looking into this,  so there's still hope...

Hi.  I reported your post to the Forum Admins who are EN Employees (the rest of us're just folks, around here) - they'll raise the ticket with Customer Service. 

Hi.  Did you look under 'Edit' ?

Hmmn.  Don't know if Evernote disregards common words - it would make sense,  given that they may be used dozens of times in any one post - but the way to get more detail is to add more words.  Try searches for 'Bank' plus other keywords that should exist in that note.  Use numbers - an account number,  the amount of a deposit or loan,  or a customer or employee name to create a more specific search.  Use 'search within context' as necessary to weed out irrevellant words and phrases,  and consider adding a tag to your note(s) when you find them,  or saving the full search to get there,  if you will need to find the note again.

Due respect I think this is a 'nice to have' feature,  worth looking at when everything else is fixed.  There are existing options and workarounds - why would Evernote invest effort in adding this?  Although it is Editor-related,  and they're already re-working the code for that,  so it might be in the pipeline somewhere...

Hi. If you feel strongly about an issue -

Evernote brought in a new system at the start of 2016 - Feedback Counters.  Start a new topic on the feedback pages,  and you can get others to register their interest (or otherwise) in the issue.  The more clicks the (presumably) more likely Evernote are to give that feature more weight in any development plans.

If someone can create a new topic in one (or more) of the feedback forums where up voting exists and post the link(s) here,  anyone who's interested can express their support in a meanigful way by clicking the counter.

General Feedback - that's coming we're told...

(I would have moved your post to an appropriate forum,  but you didn't mention your OS)

does not give you the 100% security that @gazumped implied.

It rather depends what you're keeping secure.  Putting things in the cloud does not,  we all seem to agree,  give total security.  You can pretty much bet that not telling anyone else your secret,  and not writing it down anywhere,  works pretty well most of the time. Anything else is a compromise.

Hi.  Not sure about your problems with sound files but I can happily record MP3's on a Samsung Note4 and attach them to my notes..  And I have collaborated on a document that three or more people were involved with - we used MS Word's document versioning systems on an attached file in a shared note.  Evernote has converged a lot in recent years,  though there's still a ways to go - OS developers keep on moving the goalposts with new versions of their own...

This is the place to raise ideas and feedback - Evernote created the feedback pages so they could judge the interest in ideas raised,  and prioritise the development necessary. 

With 150M very active users they're careful (although not always careful enough) to avoid making changes that don't benefit the majority of their users,  hence the voting system at top left.  If your proposal is popular it stands more chance of being adopted.  I'm just saying that until it is available you may have to look at work-arounds - unless they already had this idea in development and are about to launch it on an unsuspecting world,  it will be months or years before you see any changes from current suggestions...

You could take a screenshot and use it as wallpaper,  but that stops all of Evernote's functions from working.  If you save your shopping list as one-note-per-item notes in a separate notebook you could scroll up and down the list of notes in the large widget,  but that's it for current options.  If Evernote (and everyone else) think this is a useful feature request,  maybe someday...  all you have for now though is workarounds!

Hi.  Have you looked at all the existing widgets?  There's a 'list' option that will show you part of a note,  and open to that specific note if you tap it..  or individual buttons that could open individual notes if you wish...

@GrumpyMonkey - yup;  modern version of the old (and slightly creepy) saying:  "Two people can keep a secret - if one of them's dead"  (Allegedly by a certain Mr M Twain). 

If you want something 100% secure,  the cloud is not the way to go.

Hope,  I believe they say,  springs eternal - which is just as well because that's also the way Evernote's development schedule seems to work sometimes...  meantime there are lots of useful outliners around that will do a similar job - like Workflowy.

Have you tried simplify / remove formatting?

Looks like the creation of tables is desktop and web only,  but you could always set up a template note on a desktop and (presumably) copy it when using the mobile?  [Not tested!]

Hi.  You seem to be talking about the autoformat process that creates lists and lines based on your typing.  Some OS's now include an option to switch that off in Settings.  If you are talking about keyboard shortcuts,  have a look at some of the options here in Evernote's Help Center

Yeah - low priority idea I think.  You can have an Archive tag,  a notebook,  or even use a separate free account (with a different email address) to keep your notes at half-arms' length.  See other threads for more details on those.

Hi.  Can't say I've noticed the pop-up before.  Seems to behave like any other web page - hover over the link and the link shows,  move away it it goes.  No difference whether I hover once or several times.  Move the cursor and it goes away.  Sadly,  no option to remove or disable it AFAIK.

This has been first posted over a year ago and it doesn't seem to have it made into the product backlog. It would be really useful to have this feature, it's very cumbersome to have all these ancient emails in the recent drop down. A clear button would be really nice. Is this the only way to get something into the product backlog, or is there another way?

Hi.  There's a product backlog?  Adding this option requires planning,  developing and testing and a variety of other expensive activities before being released.  That's assuming that doing the work at all will benefit more than the 5 folks who commented here so far.  The suggestion has been made,  and I'm sure it is on a list somewhere.  Only Evernote know whether,  and when it might be delivered.

Hi.  HIghlighting text works for text that is in Evernote's own text editor and the body of a note.  If you've opened an attached PDF or Word file in a different editor,  then local rules apply and Evernote's highlighter does not .  You may be able to highlight text using that application's own editing commands,  provided it's your document or you have permission to make changes.  If you don't,  then all bets are off.  You could presumably take a screenshot of the relevant portion and annotate the picture to 'highlight' a section,  but you won't have access to the original text.

The system limits for Evernote confirm note size limits of 25MB (Basic) 50MB (Plus) and 200MB (Premium and Business) so if your 45MB note is 'too large',  it appears you have a basic account and that note must somehow have flown past the 25MB limit without a tremor.  In addition to the other suggestions here,  I'd propose that if you check your account after logging in here and find that you don't have that note,  you should sign out of Evernote on your desktop and then sign back in again to see if that makes any difference.  If not,  it appears that the local database (or at least that note) is corrupt.

1. Go to your Databases folder (Evernote > Tools > Options > General for the location)
2. Export any Local Notes you may have to ENEX files,  one per notebook and then sign out of Evernote again.
3. Rename the Databases folder to Databases.Old and log back into Evernote
4. Check for that note again!

Good luck - let us know what happens...

Hi.  I've seen two of those in 12 months.  I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the app to make sure you have the latest version.  If the problem continues, look in Settings to contact support and send in a copy of your activity log.
