I tried the following - "contains:taskCompleted updated:day-1" and confirmed that completing a task is an update. The issue of course will be notes with updates other than completing a task. Closer, but the search you suggested returns no notes.
If anyone can tighten that search up, I'd be interested.

From the blue pop up menu or by right clicking choose "copy internal links" and then copy app links (alt_ctrl+L on windows)
Thanks for this tip! This does not seem be be supported in the Web version (that I use on the WIN laptop at work). Very happy to be using this on the Mac at home.

I had been wondering this also. After doing a quick review of this help article, it appears the answer is "No" .

You can add coloured icons (emojis) which I find really useful to draw attention to particular notes.
Interesting. Since I use both Mac and Win I'm a minimalist on both, but this made curious. I need to search for this. This got me through the basis https://garthscaysbrook.com/using-emoji-in-evernote/#:~:text=Open note in Evernote and begin typing%2C pause,any emoji to insert it into the note.
Now that I know how to do this, I'll test out its usefulness.

when it is assigned to another note, not to the default.
I have used the "Move Task" just for the purpose @PinkElephantmentions. Since a "Search for note" dialog appears after choosing "Move Task", one thing this topic got me to try that I had not before - searching by tag vs. note title or note content. No luck.... perhaps in a future release.

Thanks @PinkElephant This is the key sentence that has me (Premium Subscription) ready to "roll up my sleeves" and figure out updates to my workflow with Tasks - "A subscription is only required for some advanced features of tasks, such as accessing tasks from the central Tasks view, setting a due date, or adding task reminders."

My use case is simple. I added this to the my Quick Access in Windows Explorer / Favorites in Mac Finder. Drag & drop a file and presto - it's in Evernote.
This feature was always lacking on the Mac Version. IMO this is yet another example of the wisdom of rebuilding the clients for a consistent UX across all platforms. Now if I could just get EN10 on my aging Kindle device...

or years the tag button has been on the top next to the notebook where I could enter the tag, now it's been moved to the bottom with a more complex usage where it seems I have to enter the tag, then apply it. Not an improvement, just a confusing change.
In one of the many videos Evernote produced about EN10, Ian Small interviewed one of their UX designers. They talked about this specific change at length. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the change either, but as @PinkElephant mentions, this is where EN will evolve from. I have developed the "muscle memory" of the shortcut keys (on both Windows and Mac) and now their location in the display is a non-factor for me. Was it an initial challenge - yes, but now I'm on to the next challenge.
Speaking of the video with their UX designer, I shared that with the equivalent where I work. He was impressed with the data-driven approach to decision making. He (my colleague) internalized a statement made in that video, "Delivery velocity - the lifeblood of innovation".

So far I am cautiously positive about the continuous flow of releases,
As am I. I have also used Evernote of as *the* example of doing so as the only path forward for a company of its size to innovate again.

Some will say yes and others will say no. Best to download it and try it out yourself.
Sound advice - "Your mileage may vary".
==>Does the new Version (10.13) for Windows just work yet?
My mileage - It just worked well enough for me to upgrade my Mac version - something I had resisted doing since EN 10 was first released.

Anyone else experiencing this
Yes there are long running topics covering this. While not specifically addressing the Mac version see either / both of the following:

I am personally running the legacy version on my Mac and version 10.x on a Windows machine. While the latter is slow, at times I am almost encouraged enough to run 10.x on my Mac. Almost - I have tolerated the slow performance, but I can't tolerate incorrect search results which I see occasionally enough to dampen enthusiasm for upgrading on the Mac.

I too was missing / frustrated by this (lack of shortcut to a saved search). Then I found that typing the start of the name of the saved search in the search field shows the saved search in the suggested results.
After getting used to that I find that I actually prefer this behavior. I spend time on both EN 10 and the Legacy version on two different platforms. I have found that in EN10, I can find all shortcuts much faster including ones that I did not create a shortcut for.

On a Mac - Evernote -> Preferences. Look for the "Formatting" Tab.
Windows - Tool -> Options. Select "Note".

==> export my data to a spreadsheet, using Applescript (Mac)
I frequently see you comment 'using Applescript'. Do you have your code anywhere posted anywhere? (TIA if you do). Looking to learn something new with my new found time at home and would love some practical examples.

Yes please !
+1 on this topic
==>Overall, we're taking a system that has scaling issues and making it more robust. We're moving from a monolithic/sharded architecture to a microservice design
That would have been a good line to add to the video to know that you are following this industry trend and give users visibility to this topic being a small step in a multi-year journey.

Sure it costs. But I pay for Dropbox, I pay for Lightroom, I don't mind paying for Evernote. If you think you can get a good robust app for no-money then you are kidding yourself.
Here, here. We should be willing to pay for services that make our lives better. (Full disclosure, I work in the SW industry). I hope (perhaps naively) it's not too late to put that genie back in the bottle in the Social Media space.

(Maybe people can vent here instead of filling up the comments about a search video with worry about Evernote's direction)
Forking this thread deserves several ❤️ 's ! *Thank you*.

If I already know exactly which tag or title keyword I'm looking for, that's just wasted time and (my) resources giving me changing menus of a hundred different note options when I just want to add simple details to a contact.
I hope Evernote will continue the practice of allowing me to switch OFF the search 'helper' in Options or Preferences, and just go back to a straight keyword match!
Here, here!

In other words...they know it's an issue, I wasted my time following their requests for them to tell me to use chrome instead and they have no plan to support their product in firefox.
yippee.
Yep, that's how I read it too. <sigh>

Just had firefox updated to version 65.0 and still same issue.
I had this experience on Chrome on standard web pages. I switched to firefox (65.0) and standard web pages are working. I have not tried a PDF.

Thanks all for the great discussion. I am currently most like @CalS for those topic. I might use reminders more extensively if there was a bulk update for reminders (as there is for tags). If it exists, I have not seen it (I used both Windows and Mac Clients).

==> sending it to a co-workers email address. I keep getting this error msg. "Sorry we couldn't send your chat.
Are trying e-mail a copy of the note or share it via Evernote's Chat feature? Your comment makes me think you are confusing two distinct commands. On Windows these are "Note -> Share ... -> Send a Copy and "Note -> Share -> Share Note"
It would help if you listed what OS you are using and the specific commands you have tried to use.

Two things I take from this thread:
- Adding my name to the list of surprised Premium Users that this feature is lacking from EN.
- To get by "in the meantime" (noting this thread is > 3 yr. old), I have two saved searches. It happens to work for what I needed today. I suspect someday soon, I will be thinking about this / wishing for it again.
Share a copy of a note via email

I had wondered the same thing and this thread motivated me to look at it on my Mac (haven't had time to look into the Web version yet). I looked in the Contacts app and found some email addresses I needed to prune. I came back to EN and they were also gone from "Share a copy of a note via email".
