AronsLaw 4 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I am a business user with about 26k notes. I primarily use tags to sort everything, I have just under 10 notebooks. The tags works as my case file. I use the mac software. When I type a name in the search bar and select the tag I want there is a serious lag. I thought it might be my computer, as I have been using a 2012 macbook air. I just got the new macbook and reinstalled evernote. The lag is shortened but it is still there. It is incredibly frustrating to wait 20-30 seconds every time I select a tag. Anybody have any solutions? I pay a lot for evernote with multiple users I may have to switch services. Link to comment

It is incredibly frustrating to wait 20-30 seconds every time I select a tag. I agree this is unacceptable. I believe this is caused by Evernote trying to do a search as you type (i.e. "incremental search") each character in the Search box. This is a ludicrous design. I almost never want Evernote to search for Notes as I type. I want Evernote to wait until I've finished typing, and press RETURN. Here's why: A search on my incomplete entry will almost never find the same notes as it does when I finish my entry. I often make typos, which I then correct, as I type. The typos obviously cause Evernote to search for the wrong Notes. I open have two or more search terms, like "intitle:SomeKeyWord" tag:SomeTag1 tag:SomeTag2". Obviously the Search won't find the proper notes until I have finished my entry. As @AronsLaw indicated, the incremental Search can greatly slow down the process. ATTN: @Evernote: ( @Chantal Leonard, @Johnathan Hebert, @Jason Miller ) Please remove, or provide a Preference setting to disable, the incremental search behavior of the Search box. What would be very welcome is for the App to provide incremental auto-complete as the user types. For example: AS I TYPE Autocomplete int intitle: ta tag: etc Provide autocomplete for all search qualifiers tag:so After the "tag:" qualifier, provide list of matching tags as I type, just like how the Tag Filter works intitle: After the "intitle:" qualifier, provide list of matching words from my Note Titles, from Notes in the same order as the current Sort order. etc That should give you a good idea of what I want. I'm sure if you guys brainstorm this idea, you will come up with a lot of great autocompletion rules. Link to comment
AronsLaw 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hey. Appreciate the response. But the issue I have is when you start typing in a search and tags are suggested. When you select the suggested tag you want, there is a serious lag in how long it takes the system to pull up your tagged notes. Anyone else having issues like this? Link to comment

I click it and start to wait for a while, then tags loading and be able to write for searching tag. It's really decreasing my productivity. Link to comment
AronsLaw 4 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I really wish if I knew for sure evernote acknowledges this problem and is working on a fix. Link to comment

AronsLaw 4 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 This is just so frustrating. I will have to switch services due to this lag. I don't understand why it can't be addressed. Link to comment

AronsLaw 4 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 I've been told for months they are aware and working on it. They also told me a work around is to just type tag:____ and the actual tag. But obviously this doesn't help because it takes much longer, but mostly, you have to know exactly how you worded the tag for the correct notes to appear. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,666 Posted February 6, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted February 6, 2019 Always my problem with tags. I use Ctrl+Q (Cmd J) to search - is this how you're selecting tags? Link to comment
AronsLaw 4 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 i just start typing in the search box and click the tag when my typing leads to it appearing. I just tried cmd J and seems to be working better. thanks! Link to comment
