Alexpie 1 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hello, Is there a way to search for notes with Google Drive attachment? Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted August 20, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted August 20, 2018 Evernote's search feature is documented at https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828 I don't see a specific Google Drive search, but resource: is one of the parameters edit: the resource: attribute works for attachments. It does not work if for file links or Googles web/file links resource:[MIME type string] - will match notes that have a resource with a MIME type that matches the argument. E.g.: resource:image/gif Matches notes with at least one image/gif resource resource:audio/* Matches notes with at least one audio resource -resource:image/* Matches notes with no images resource:application/vnd.evernote.ink Matches notes with one or more ink resources Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted August 20, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted August 20, 2018 The normal Evernote resource types don't seem to work with files on Google Drive. I also found Google Drive specific MIME types (https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/mime-types), but unfortunately they don't seem to work in Evernote either: Supported MIME Types You can use MIME types to filter query results or have your app listed in the Chrome Web Store list of apps that can open specific file types. The following table lists MIME types that are specific to G Suite and Google Drive. MIME Type Description application/vnd.google-apps.audio application/vnd.google-apps.document Google Docs application/vnd.google-apps.drawing Google Drawing application/vnd.google-apps.file Google Drive file application/vnd.google-apps.folder Google Drive folder application/vnd.google-apps.form Google Forms application/vnd.google-apps.fusiontable Google Fusion Tables application/vnd.google-apps.map Google My Maps application/vnd.google-apps.photo application/vnd.google-apps.presentation Google Slides application/vnd.google-apps.script Google Apps Scripts application/vnd.google-apps.site Google Sites application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet Google Sheets application/vnd.google-apps.unknown application/vnd.google-apps.video application/vnd.google-apps.drive-sdk 3rd party shortcut Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted August 21, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted August 21, 2018 I went old-school and searched the body of the note for "https://drive.google.com" (with or without the quotes) - seems to work, even when only the Evernote icon is visible... Link to comment
Alexpie 1 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thanks for the many tips. Quote old-school "https://drive.google.com" Unfortunately, it does not work ? Link to comment

Not too sure about this one. the string https://drive.google.com can be found if it's in the text of the note, but in the case of an attachment, it's stored in an anchor tag, and not visible, so it doesn't seem like it's being found. For example, from a .ENEX file, embedding a PDF: <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9pL6vKZLnIEc3RqcnRlcl9maWxl" rev="en_rl_small" style="min-width: 380px;">Getting started</a> That also shows why the standard MIME types don't work either; they're not even present in the application Link to comment

The URL is not visible, but I can copy it from the icon... Anyhoo.. a clear link (that works for everyone) would be good - unless you think ahead and use a tag or a keyword... Link to comment

I tested this out, and it didn't work for me. A little baffled, but not that much, as this isn't a valuable use case for me. Link to comment
Alexpie 1 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 It's not that important, but it would be nice to add that feature to the Evernote search in the future. Thanks to all for your tips and tricks. ? Link to comment
rezecib 98 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 On the server-side search, resource file names are included in the "all" field, so it's as if they are actually in the note text. You can also manually search for just them with resourceFileName:somefilename. The Mac and Windows clients don't use server-side search right now, though. Google Drive attachments, though, are really just links rather than true attachments, so they're not a "resource". So I don't think there's a good way to search for them, unfortunately. I'm noting it down as an improvement we could look into, though Link to comment

Is that in the offing, though? It would be nice if the client searches matched the server-side search, even if they don't use it explicitly for performance reasons. I did notice that the Google Drive attachment links are obfuscated somehow, so searching on their actual names wouldn't really accomplish much. Link to comment
rezecib 98 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 @jefito We are generally moving towards unifying search. I believe business users on Mac currently use a blending of server- and client-side searches, but personal users are purely client-side at the moment. Link to comment

Server side search has issues. Typically notes are missing in my server side text searches. Current trouble ticket in place. That and i don’t care for the slowdown of a client server relationship. Replicate the function in my view. Link to comment

Replicate the function in my view. My idea was more along the lines of "replicate the searches that the server-size is supposed to deliver (there's a spec for this, remember?), modulo bugs (which ought to be fixed)". When a specific client does things that other clients cannot (I'm looking at you, hierarchical tag searches on Windows), it means that saved searches may not deliver consistent results on different devices. How it gets there (explicit use of the server, or strict emulation) is not material. On one hand, Google search, say, seems to keep up fine, but realistically, you need some sort of client side search for when you're offline. and that's gotta match up. Link to comment

Expectation is same search result independent of platform or sync method. Seems reasonable. Data be data. Link to comment
