That isn't what @Cristiano478 said. You have ignored the -

I know. Sorry.

I DID use the "minus" sign and it does not work. It is showing plenty of notes AFTER January. 2010.

Thank you.

"Try it like this: created:20100101"

Unfortunately, it does not work.

It is finding a few notes, but apparently "at random". Some are before, some are after 2010.

Hm......?

I want to weed out old notes and therefore need to find them.

I want to find all notes created before 2010.

This did NOT work: created:20100101

(find all notes before Jan 1st, 2010)

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks for the answers.

I deleted the desktop app with revo uninstaller and then installed the app again. Thank God it looks like all the notes are there.

Still think Legacy was faster, cleaner and much more uncluttered but I can live with the new version.

Thanks for the answer.

It looks like all my notes are in the Web version of EN.

They are not on my desktop.

There should be an easy way to sync and therefore downloading all my notes to the Desktop. But there is no SYNC  or Download Botton.

Then how do I get my notes downloaded?

OK then,  how do I download ALL my notes?

And will I then get a clickable list of notes as a result of a search ?

I am on WIN 10 and have installed the newest Desktop version.

When I search for specific notes, it gives me a number: "X notes found".

"Let's say 10 notes found". I can see ONLY one note and do not see a list with the 10 notes. Where are these 10 notes and why is only showing up 1 note? Where is the list of the 10 notes?

It just drives me crazy, I have invested one hour to solve this, with no avail.

I can't tell you how much I miss "Legacy", which was fast, precise, simple and had a clean interface without the awful clutter that I need to look at now.

Anyhow, my requirement is not outrageous:

1. I want to see the notes list as a result of a search

2. I want to be able to just click on one of the notes in the list and read it.

Sad to say, that I am getting angrier and more annoyed every day about Evernote.

Vincent,

thanks for your thoughtful post.

Yes, indeed there are many - probably most - users who are NOT programmers, engineers, math wizzards or otherwise technically gifted or users of complicated search strategies etc.

I have been a EN user since 2010.

For me it is the workhorse for getting things done. I make quick notes in EN in a matter of seconds, retrieve notes the same way and that is 90% of the work. Occasionally a tag and that's it. Clean and simple interface, no bells and whistles. Legacy was great for this.

I think EN should pay more attention to users like you and me and forget about the bells and whistles that they seem to prioritize.

Pink,

thanks for your hints. I did what you suggested. It looks like it is working.

Thank you.

Apparently one cannot print a note while in it. One can only print after clicking on the NOTE TITLE  in the note list. Or is there a trick for printing?

Also: As far as I can see, all my notes are there, right after installing the new WIN client.

EN just asked for my email and Pawwort und Voila: All notes are there. No syncing was necessary.

I looked for the SYNC BOTTON and could not find it. Apparently there is none anymore.

Can someone tell me the proper way to upgrade to the newest WIN 10 version of EN?

I am using an old Legacy version. I tried to simply "upgrade" from the menu of the Legacy version, I am still using but it failed.

Should I uninstall EN first  and THEN go to the EN website and download the newest version?

My final goal is   simple: 

1. Side panel on the left with all my notebooks and tags

2. In the middle of the screen (and all the way to the right) a listing of the titles of the notes

Thanks.

If it is not working for you (maybe you are on BETA releases)? You can try this:

Uninstall your current FF.

Then download and install Updte 66.0.4 (not some other update).

That should fix it.

Good luck !

I was somehow spared this latest upheavel with the clipper.

I disabled "automatic updates" in the Clipper as well as in Firefox.

Both are working now for me. But I will let it run WITHOUT the latest updates for a while.

After Firefox updated yesterday, the Web Clipper stopped working. When I sign in, to clip a page, it works.

After finishing Firefox and re-open it again, a red dot appears unter the WEb Clipper (Elephant) symbol and I have to sign in again, for every single clip. Very tedious.

I know, it is the Firefox settings. I have tried for hours and nothing works.

Can anybody provide me with the Firefox settings that I need to check, so the web clipper works?

Thanks.

I don't think that will happen. EN is not trying to be a "universal" piece of software that can do everything (badly).

It is designed to collect and retrieve information with speed and ease.

You CAN use a third-party mind mapping tool and drag the files into EN. Once there you can click on that file and your external software will open for working with mindmaps.

Wern

No, sorry. No notebooks inside notebooks either. You can move a notebook into a notebook but EN will then create a STACK automatically.

The hierarchy from bottom to top is:

• notes
• notebooks
• stacks

Sorry, STACKS is the top level in EN.

STACKS can have notebooks but not stacks.

There are workarounds: You could re-name your old stacks, something like "X-name" and the stack will move down in the list.

If you don't have too many notebooks in your stacks, you can create an "Archive-stack" and move all your notebooks into that one.

Hope this helps.

Wern

Hi and welcome to the forums !

Yes, STACKS can be a bit confusing at first. As Gaz wrote, "they are already there".

To clarify: Go to "Notebooks" (left panel), right click and choose "create notebook".

Give it a name. Drag another of your notebooks onto it and voilà, you created a STACK.

Wern

Hi and welcome to the forums !

This topic has been discusssed here at length. Please use the Search function.
In EN you can create STACKS which can hold notebooks. With Stacks you can probably accomplish what you want to do. You can read about Stacks here.
Thinking for some time on HOW you are going to organize your notes (and tags) is time well spent and will also help to find them later with ease.

Wern

Hi and welcome to the forums !

EN has decided that there are no Sub-notebooks at the moment. You can create STACKS which will allow you to have a visual representation of sub-notebooks. Here is info on how to use stacks.
This has been discussed here at length already. Use the search function.

If you are still typing your note and found that there are mistakes, you can use good old "Ctrl-Z" (Win) and undo your last steps.

Wern

EN does not ignore users, quite the contrary. This forum is an active community and EN employees read what is posted here. Many design features were proposed here first and got implemented.

It is impossible to accommodate all wishes of all users. EN has to make some basic design decisions which suit the average user well.

Multiple levels of notebooks does not seem to be one of those.

Wern

Stat,

welcome to the forum.

At the moment there is no sharing of stacks. While I can see some need for this, I doubt it will be implemented any time soon.

Wern

Just post here and the community as well as EN developers will read it.

As Burgers already said, probably not. Above all, EN wants to do one thing well: storing and retrieving information fast. There may be an "add-on" or "extension" sometime in the future for this, but not soon and nothing certain at this point in time.
