2na 0 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This probably sounds basic, but is this happening to anyone else? I haven't been able to actually search for specific things from all of my notes for a long time, I can only create a search for the content within an individual notes. I.e. If I'm looking for a note title "Content Distribution" from 2 months ago, I cannot search for that. It will only search for that info in the note that's currently open. My colleague just downloaded evernote for the first time and her search works fine. I tried deleting and re-downloading and it didn't work. Any help is super appreciated, thanks Link to comment

ronlewis 0 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 First time here, have not needed support prior, not even to this website...been using Evernote on Mac for 3+ years, current 6.1.3 on Mac OS Sierra, and search does not work like it use too, for me also. I have to manually find notes now....searching all notes or just my notes, text in title or body don't come up. Has client search changed, or I have a local issue, and need to re-index? Example text in a note created months ago, I copied to another existing note late last week, and it now shows up in search, but not the original note. Why? Thank you in advance, Link to comment

rford 0 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I use Evernote on my Mac and my iOS device (iOS 11). Search works fine on my iOS device but on my Mac, every search term returns "No Results." However, if I edit a note and then search for a word in the note, even a word that is not newly added, search works for that note. For example, I have a note that contains notes from my trip to Zion National Park. Search for "zion" returns no results. Find the note by scrolling through and change a single word, and now a search for "zion" finds the note. MacOS 10.13.3 Evernote 6.13.3 Link to comment
