hi Is search only available with a paid subscription? this is my first time using Evernote. I was quite excited with the note taking potential until I tried searching. I first tried searching by Tag to see how it worked... nothing. Then simply by text... nothing. Using the web client on 2 different windows machines and the iOS app, all nothing... I am honestly kind of staggered. I have only 3 notes and the search cannot return a single result for even the most basic searches. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong ? this is really not a great start.
