It's written at the top

Instead of hijacking this discussion, post a separate request for "like OS folders" and "child search"

I am NOT hijacking the discussion.  The topic title, "Nesting Multiple Notebooks / Creating Sub-Notebooks" and "fully hierarchical Notebooks that work like OS folders" seem the same to me.

However the purpose of this discussion is Evernote and Notebook hierarchy (Nesting Multiple Notebooks / Creating Sub-Notebooks)

Glad you recognize the purpose.  Unfortunately you seemed to have missed the point of my analogy and testing.  But let's not digress into a side issue.

Evernote Tags are fully hierarchical, each tag record stores an optional parent reference

Perhaps the tags themselves are hierarchical, but I'm sure you know that hierarchy (i.e. its child tags) has no influence on the selection of Notes  are assigned to the Parent tag.  To be clear, we expect that if a Parent tag is selected, that all Notes with the Parent tag and any its child tags are also selected, just like when we select a Stack, it includes all Notes of its NBs, or if we select an OS folder, it includes all of its files and the files of its sub-notebooks.

If we had fully hierarchical NBs, then we would not necessarily need for hierarchical tags to behave in this manner.  I can see the benefit of having the tag structure as we have it now in that case.

So the focus is, and remains, on the request for fully hierarchical Notebooks that work like OS folders.

This idea was posted in 2012. It is now 2020 and this simple function of find/replace has never been added. Very sad...

Yes, very sad that all of the previous Evernote CEOs have ignored this request, which will bring EN Mac up to par with EN Win.

Our hope now is that the new (last year) CEO @Ian Small will fix this, since he has already stated a goal of parity of features across all Evernote platforms.  It is such a basic feature across all Mac editor apps, that it is hard to imagine that it won't be fixed.

I disagree;  I'm very happy not using true OS folder-like notebooks 
I'm content with flat storage for my notes; tagging where approriate   

It is not a matter of agreement.  What some of us need, others do not.  That applies to many features of any app.  There are some users who prefer to use only plain text files for their notes.  Others of use see the benefit of rich text, hyperlinks, tables, and attachments as being part of our Notes.  Use of most features is optional.

I have proven, at least to myself and a few others, that using Mac Finder Folders (which are fully hierarchical) WITH Finder Tags (which are not hierarchical) is an extremely effective and efficient method of organization. If you, or anyone, do not see this benefit, or do not need it, that's fine.  Many of us do see the benefit.

Yes, it's possible to use multiple tags/subtags and sub-subtags, but that is really only supported on the desktop version on not on the mobile version.

Hierarchical tags are NOT supported on the iOS platform, a very popular platform for Evernote.

Even if they were, using hierarchical tags, in lieu of true folder-like hierarchical Notebooks, is a poor second to a real NB solution.  I know because I have been using Tags in EN Mac as pseudo Notebooks for several years now.  There are two main issues with this technique:

1. Tags must be unique, so you can't have two child tags with the same name.
2. In EN Mac and EN iOS, there is no way to apply a Parent Tab to tag filters or tag search, and have it automatically include all of its child tags.

@Ian Small. So we really do need true, OS folder-like, hierarchical Notebooks.  There is no good workaround today.  As you design the new foundation for Evernote, please consider this.

If you have thousands of tags, then it would be nice to locate the tag in the tree. e.g. with a right-click on the tag, and a button in the context menu.

I agree.  For those of us to make great use of tags, we definitely need better ways of managing the tags.

Both the Tag Tree in  the sidebar and the Tag List need a major UI overhaul that will support thousands of tags, just like can be easily done with the Mac Finder or Windows Explorer.

I would like to write them a regular email, tag them with their expertise, classify them as potential leads or not, ...

If this is for your business, then IMO you would be better off using a CRM system (app or web) than with Evernote.  A decent (and inexpensive) CRM system will make it easy and effective for you to track and develop leads and customers.  You will quickly find Evernote to be a PITA for this use case, and this comes from a big-time fan/user of Evernote.

The EvernoteSpotlight plugin has TWO SEPARATE FUNCTIONS:

2) SHARE TO EVERNOTE: It allows you to Print PDFs to Evernote, Share PDFs to Evernote, Clip Web Content to Evernote.

The EvernoteSpotlight plugin has NOTHING to do with Evernote web clipping.  Please check your assertions BEFORE you post so others are NOT mislead.

I removed the EvernoteSpotlight plugin several weeks ago, and I continue to use the Evernote Web Clipper many times a day without any related issues.

I decided to remove this process manually. Since then, I've never seen the problem. Here is how to do that;

1. Run Terminal
2. Type this command and enter

rm /Applications/Evernote.app/Contents/PlugIns/EvernoteSpotlight.appex/Contents/MacOS/EvernoteSpotlight

Actually, what I did was this:  I zipped and deleted the EvernoteSpotlight.appex folder:

However my point was very serious: collaborative editing is not a special feature any longer. It is just expected in such a toll.

I totally disagree.  It is NOT "just expected", at least not by many.

Yes, those in teams or organizations might need collaborative editing, but for most Evernote users, whom I believe are just individual users, we do NOT want to complicate the EN Editor, nor delay delivery of the new Evernote for collaboration features.  That was tried by a previous Evernote CEO, and it was a disaster.

Further, I don't think collaborative editing, as in multiple users changing the same document at the same time, is a good idea.  In fact, it is a terrible idea.

If you need full-on document editing with version tracking by user, then use MS Word or similar.

Let's keep Evernote simple until the basics are completed and reliable.

@Alexander Schatten, see my post at Search with "stack:Active"

55 minutes ago, Alexander Schatten said:

Thanks. I am aware of such workarounds. But they are unfortunately not even remotely what would be needed. 
These notes always appear in regular searches, in the notebook view. And then all the tags of archived projects that clutter the interface. 

Sure you can delete or export these notes, which would probably be the closest version to archiving. And maybe re import them into a different account...? All that is messy and annoying. 

In addition to, or instead of, using a "Archive" tag like @DTLow suggested, you can create a Stack, that I call "Active", and put all NBs that you consider active (not archive) in that stack.  Then it is easy to do a Search with "stack:Active" plus whatever else you want.

However, tech issues with APIs can't be discussed on this forum, because "it's user supported"

This whole forum (discussion.evernote.com) is officially "user supported", but Evernote employees often respond to various posts.

As you noted, the official statement says this, points back to this sub-forum.

I got it fixed by completely uninstall EN from my MacBook Pro, using the app AppCleaner

Glad that it worked for you, but it did not for me, using a very similar procedure.

IAC, for those with a large number of Notes, that is not a very practical solution.

Obviously, the solution is for Evernote to focus on this for a bit and solve it.

For those of you on Twitter, I suggest a Twitter campaign to put pressure on Evernote to get this fixed.  I don't do Twitter or Facebook, or I would start it.

So after exporting all 15000 (22gb) of notes to local notebooks only to find it's not what I expected, how do I get them back?

I think this is a question best put to Evernote Support.  See the link below in my signature.

Looking for a way to do a full web page clipping while I am in a web browser that archives the page I am currently browsing

Which do you want:  (1) Web page clipping; or (2) web page archive (ala Safari)?

You can activate the EN Web Clipper via a shortcut (set in the Clipper Options), or by clicking on the EN Clipper button in the toolbar.

Evernote for Mac 7.14 is now available.

@Nick L. or any Users of Ver 7.14, can you please confirm, or refute, that in Ver 7.14 you can set a hyperlink (Format > Link > Add) using a URL to these:

1. file URL:   file:///some.path/someFileName.ext
2. email:       mailto:someName@someDomain

Thanks.

@Nick L., while I'm here, could I please ask you to reinforce, to your Dev Team,  our request to allow Non-http url schemes in notes and links  as valid link URLs.

ALL USERS:  If you agree with this request, please go to Non-http url schemes in notes and links  and cast your vote for it.  Thanks.

I think, at least I hope, that this would be a simple change, just a matter of changing the validation of what is allowed in the Add Link dialog.

I'm able to add these links (EN 7.14)

Thanks for sharing that.  So I guess it was NOT broken with the Ver 7.14 release.  That's good -- I'll update now.

@SMcCandlish, OK, it just tested this running Evernote 7.13 (458080) on macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave), and it worked:

• file:///Users/Shared/Dropbox/Mac%20Only/Scan%20Inbox/ExamplePDF.pdf
• mailto:SomeUser@SomeDomain.com

So this must be a change between EN Mac 7.13 and 7.14.

Too bad.  I was just about to update to Ver 7.14, but I'll hold off for now.

Using Mac version, v7.14.  The Link tool (insert a Web link around selected text, by doing ctrl-click or right-click on selected text and picking Link > Add... from the context menu) will not allow you to press "OK" after entering a URL under "Enter web address for this link" unless it starts with http:// or https://  or ftp:// from what I can tell.

There's an endless number of arbitrary URL/URI strings, so this feature should accept anything that begins with any alphanumeric character string followed by : then followed by any other character string.

Well, these are referred to a "URL schemes", which can be used to open any app on the Mac that has properly registered the scheme.

So, EN Mac should allow any registered URL scheme.  Period.  This, of course, includes the standard "file:///" and "mailto:" schemes.

@Ian Small, I know you've got a much bigger fish you're trying to fry right now, but could you please add this change, which I think is just a dialog validation issue, to your fix list.  It would be really great, a big benefit to lots of Mac users, if you could add this fix to your short term list for EN Mac updates.

Thanks, and keep up the great work.  Just viewed your last video about the new mobile versions, and I have to say many many thanks.  That is long over due -- in fact that should have been the Evernote design philosophy from the very beginning.

On 12/13/2019 at 2:28 PM, Nick L. said:

AppCleaner always leaves contents from the Group Containers directory unchecked, which is mostly the database.

You might try AppDelete, which I believe initially checks all related folders/files.  Years ago AppCleaner was reported as missing some files, so I started using AppDelete.  It has always worked well for me, and I've never seen any reports about it missing files.
