Yeah, the fact is I moved a whole dissertation project with tons of notes, hundreds of pages, dozens of tabs and tags from ON to EV precisely because I couldn't search for exact phrases... I am starting to wonder whether it might be an indexing problem with my Macbook.... Thanks again!

Thank you for your help. And yet, the simple "<word1> <word2> <word3>" search is exactly what doesn't work. Legacy doesn't seem to have either the Tools > Options > Note to turn off the child tag. Mystery...

Anyone?

Hello, after a painful and time consuming switch/import from OneNote to EV, I find myself in basically the same situation: If I search for any exact phrase, I get hundreds of notes –those that contain the phrase, and those that contain only one of the words of the string. Now, it seems that during the import, EV turned all the subfolders present in OneNote into tags, so that even if I use "---" to search for an exact string, since a tag is always automatically selected, the engine searches for both the phrase and any tag containing any of the words. Can this be the problem? Looking in the forum I found that in previous versions of EV I could turn off "Automatically select child tags", but I don't seem to find this function in 10.9.10 nor in the Legacy version. Again, I am not even sure this is the issue. Any help? Thanks!
