Search the Community

I know how to search for a certain word across multiple notes. The result of such a search would give me a list of all notes that contain my search term. However, since my notes tend to be quite long or be 200-page PDF documents, where the search term will probably appear a couple of times in each document, I'd like to be able to easily jump through all instances of the search result with a simple command. Right now I'd have to individually open each single note that my first search produced and then run the same search for the individual document again. I can't believe there isn't a smarter way for this.

I just updated the desktop version 7.1 for Mac, and discovered that bullets from itemized lists are disappearing when I copy and paste to Mac Client email (version 9.3). This works fine when copying and pasting into Word or Gmail. It also works if I copy and paste from the web version as a workaround, but this used to work before. Has anyone else seen this? Would appreciate assistance. I have tried to downgrade the version but was unable to since notes have been created with this newer version. Please see screenshots below: Screenshot of Evernote Desktop: Screenshot of email with bullets missing:

This is a fairly simple but would also be very helpful feature for all versions of Evernote — the ability to hide tags from the tags list. For those of us who use tags extensively, but need that tag list to not have every tag ever created listed (so that we can find the ones that we are actively using the most), we need the ability to hide tags that are not as regularly used or that we don't need to routinely see a list of all notes currently with that tag. Basically, to be able to manage that list display. Currently you can control-click (Mac) on a tag in the list and it gives the ability to "Delete Tag"; can it also give the option to Hide Tag, and it remains a tag but just doesn't show in that list for that device? Beyond that, there would just need to be a simple way to unhide it. Thanks...

Hello! We have an employee who is leaving our organization, but is the owner of several notebooks. How can we change ownership? Thanks

Hi there, After the recent update I lost all of my notes on the Mac App, notes are there when i log in to online Evernote. Tried log out/log in, reinstall app, sync. No change. Only new notes are present and sync bidirectionally. Would you have any suggestions how to fix that? Thanks in advance, Michal

Hi, I bounce back and forth between Windows EN and Mac EN a lot. Could you please add the "create" option to the right click menu on Mac? (Create Tag, Create Notebook, etc) I used this heavily on tags in Windows EN, but on Mac EN the only option is delete tag. I end up doing this on Windows EN since managing my multiple layers of nested tags is difficult in the tag view on Mac EN. If you could simply add the "create" option to the right click menu on the sidebar, that would eliminate a pain point with Mac EN be a gigantic time saver for me. The styles that Windows EN has on the sidebar would be a huge bonus and hopefully on your roadmap somewhere in the future for Mac EN. Adding the create option would be a much appreciated intermediate step.

Hi, I recently synced my Evernote premium account to a new Mac with the latest version of Evernote for Mac 7.1. That machine has a ScanSnap Evernote scanner attached vis USB. Evernote had me step through the ScanSnap scanner initiation dialogue boxes even though the scanner had previously been setup under another Evernote account. When my newly synced Evernote account showed up my long list of shortcuts had been replaced with the generic ScanSnap shortcuts "Document, Business Cards, Receipts, Photos". I have that Evernote account synced on several Macs and a Windows machine. All instances now have the generic ScanSnap shortcuts and my old long list of shortcuts is nowhere that I can see. This is also true for the web version of this account. There doesn't seem to be anything else missing from this account other than the shortcuts list. I've searched the forum and this isn't the same issue as not being able to expand the shortcuts list which another user had. I wasn't able to find this same issue in the forums, but I may have missed it. I would love to get my old list of shortcuts back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Notes has done a much better job of adding font styles (e.g. Title, Heading, Body, etc.), which I use heavily in my note taking. Can this be added to Evernote for Mac? Also, (and I get this is personal opinion), the fonts look much better in Apple Notes. So much so, that I am considering letting my Evernote Premium lapse. The UI (from the actual notes standpoint) does not seem to be keeping up with Apple. Lastly - when I copy / cut and paste into various other applications, the formatting is messed up from what I had in Evernote. Right now, I often have to go from Evernote to TextEdit (or similar) to my Mail application (either Apple Mail or Outlook). Why is this happening?

90% of my posts express displeasure with evernote but this time I have to say thanks when they get something right....speifically in this case the thanks is for for fixing the way you can hide new notes... its the little things that important and hopefully the team will continue to find more low hangin fruit things to fix.

Hi Everyone, I'm coming here to check if others are also facing the same problem I have. All the screenshots I paste into notes get to automatically resized to fit the page. It ends up looking unnecessarily zoomed and consequently less sharp than it originally was. It can be resized manually, but it's tedious and it's hard to get the original size accurately by dragging. I've reported this to the support staff a year back, and followed through recently, but it seems the issue can't get enough traction to merit an immediate fix. Are you also facing the same issue? I'm on a Mac Late 2015 model. Yes answers will hopefully help me build enough push to get a fix done. No answers will reveal to me that this may be unique to the configuration of my machine. Thank you in advance.

Evernote in Mac, and synced to iOS. Note is a contact (business card), created in iOS. There's an image (photo of a post-it, in this case). Happens to have been taken in the wrong orientation. Looks the same in both platforms (Mac & iOS) In mac, right click on the image and select "rotate clockwise"; image disappears. Note thumbnail however shows the now rotated image. Print to PDF also shows image. Synced, iOS also shows image. Export, and .enex file does contain the rotated image. But mac client doesn't display it at all. Quit, etc. - same. Evernote mac does not display the rotated image. Furthermore - the exported ".enex" file, if imported into macOS Notes, show the image. But imported back into Evernote, and doesn't. (file attached). Not an isolated incident, I have another note same problem. Philip Deforche.zip

Is there any way to create "internal links" for tags, similar to how there are internal links for notes? (See the attached.)

Can you search for tags in Spotlight, similar to how you can search for notes?

Hi, how can we rename a tag, with any other existing tag name? For example, I have a tag name "defence sector", which has more than 50 notes. I want to replace tag "defence sector" with "defence". How do I do that? I mean, replacing a tag with another tag.

Been using Evernote for several years. Today on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.11.1 (El Capitan) an upgrade is suggested. I click to download and install the upgrade. When Evernote closes and restarts, a window warns that Evernote is corrupt (endommagé in French), suggest to bin the application. Which makes Evernote disappear from my computer for the first time since quite many years. And of course there isn't the application anymore to upgrade from. I download Evernote for Mac on www.Evernote.com - same thing. Download, open the .dmg, copy to Applications. When launching the application, window announcing that Evernote is being checked. Then window announcing that Evernot is corrupt and if I want to bin it. The current download is Evernote_RELEASE_7.1_456448 . Closed all apps, turned off computer, restarted, same thing. Tried Cancel instead of binning the application, and restarting from Finder. Nothing gives. If somebody has a suggestion ? I would be very obliged ! Robert

Just upgraded to 7.1 on the Mac. I have always used Snippet View but in this release the top note in any notebook or tag, is cut off vertically. Screen shot attached. Another thing that's been bugging me for a few versions is the note count for folders. It is never the correct note count (in the sidebar) until you click on the folder then it magically refreshes. Was hoping it would be fixed this release but no luck. Finally, another bug. In the sidebar when you expand a stack of tags, if keeps auto collapsing if it exceeds the max vertical height of the side bar. You have to try to scroll the sidebar to the bottom, thing back up and expand the tag stack. Sometimes it works, sometimes you have to try a few times. Again, this bug has been around for a few versions.

I've got EN Personal and EN Business. Two issues! 1. When in EN on desktop over a week ago I've experienced sync issues only on my business account. I switch over to the personal account without closing out and the personal sync works smoothly. I am able to sync using the sync from the dropdown > file > sync or by clicking the sync button on the icon menu. However, I go back to business and neither work...it may work intermittently. I've done a full removal via software to remove recommended by EN support team. I've installed the software both from the App Store and as recommended from the EN website directly. I've slowly brought in notebooks and notes as not to overload the sync and eventually it errors out showing a red exclamation mark on the sync. This again is only occurring on the business side. 2. When I close out it never closes. I have to eventually do a force quit each time. I've opened a ticket via support and made it to elevated support but feel like I've gotten no further. The responses are slow in my personal opinion and feel as a paying business member there should be some type of live support. I've sent activity logs and at this point am frustrated .

Why is there no longer the function to insert text when using Chrome evernote clipper? Please bring it back.

I am using the website version of Evernote on Chrome for Mac. I often encounter blank notes where scrolling through a list of notes. The first handful that are visible are fine, but if you continue scrolling past them, none of the other notes appear. Scrolling back up will cause others to disappear. Refreshing the page doesn't help. Please see attached image for an example.

I use the snippet view and keep trying to "two-finger swipe left" to reveal a trash option. I believe I got the habit from the Safari reading list. Would love this feature in Evernote mac app.

Was adding to an older note (on my MBP) using EN 7.03 Had highlighted all the text, and was looking for the right way to set the line spacing uniformly - clicked on what looked like a line space option, but that was an actual line - so the entire page disappeared and all I had was a single line across the document. Did command-Z right away, nothing happened! Note gone. WTF!!!! I quickly picked up my phone, switched it to airplane mode, and copy-pasted the destroyed note into a new note - but all the edits I'd made on the laptop were gone. This is sh*t functionality - anything should be able to be undone.

I have searched for days now and failed to find anything that tells me how to limit a search to the notebooks in one stack. When I use the Search box, it does not give 'Stack' as an option. Is there a Search syntax that allows me to restrict the search? I have not found it if it is there. Please help!!

Wow - wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Yesterday I went to start a note on my iOS Evernote. Got interrupted so left it as a blank untitled note. Today I log into Evernote on my Mac, see the untitled note and as I'm drinking my coffee get to work writing out my thoughts. Fast forward an hour later I'm wrapping up the note on my Mac Evernote client. I've changed it from untitled to give it a name. It only has text content. I go to look at something on my iPhone and when I look up my note window is missing (like I had closed it). Evernote is still running. Two other notes I had open are still there. I goto view all notes and it isn't there. I search for it and it isn't there. I check the web and iPhone app clients and it isn't there. My account is plus member. I'm at 68% of my monthly storage - 700mb of my 1GB used. My 1GB resets tomorrow. My renewal date recently happened (expires March 6, 2019). Looking at my log file (1st time: Help Menu, Activity Log...) I'm blown away at how many entries there are for today. you don't have a find option so I end up sifting through this 23mb text file and I do find the last mention of it (copy/pasted below). Note is titled - App: Alpha & Omega Daily Planning Account Anything you can do on your end to recover my note?

If I do a search that yields no results (for example by searching for something not in my notes), I get a blank screen - which is expected. However, when I clear the search field by clicking the cross or even the clear button, all my notes in the sidebar disappear. Or at least they seem to disappear, because apparently I can click the empty space in the sidebar and the notes load up just fine. I've made a short video illustrating the issue Has anyone experienced this, or know of a fix? The only way I've found so far to get things back to normal is to change to a different view and then back to the original view.
