IrisBrandt 1 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I was searching for the scan of my ID and typed "Ausweis" (german word for ID), but it wasn't found. I used the tag I have for important documents, and there it was, named "AusweisIrisBrandt". I tried to find Iris and Brandt and it found it without problems. Why couldn't it find "Ausweis"? Could it happen again? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted February 22, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi. What version of Windows do you have? My WIndows 10 64bit machine finds "AusweisIrisBrandt" without any problems using variations down to "ausweis" as the search term. It didn't find, (and shouldn't have) "iris" because all searches are supposedly from the beginning of a string, not from partway through.

If I use quotes ("ausweis"), an exact match is required. No quotes (ausweis) and variations are found Link to comment
IrisBrandt 1 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 I use Windows 10 in the 64-version. But I meant the Evernote-Search (not sure if you meant that). I tried it again and I get the feeling that it searches inside the documents, but not the titles, which is kind of stupid because I try to give very useful titles... Can that be? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted February 23, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi again - you can force an intitle search by using intitle:<keyword>, but the search should automatically include tags, titles and content unless you specify otherwise. Link to comment
IrisBrandt 1 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Doesn't work either. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted March 2, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted March 2, 2019 Seems to work fine for me. Check your spellings? Link to comment

IrisBrandt 1 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 I, tried it without the date in the beginning, then it finds it. But that's not very useful for me, is there a possibility to change the search, so it looks for more than the beginning of the word? It also finds "Impfpass", and there the word "Ausweis" is not even in the title, how does that work or why doesn't it always work? Link to comment

Underscore is the one special character that EN can find with a search, so your title begins with one long word. EN only searches from the beginning of words, so if you changed the title of the note to 2019_01_07 Ausweis... the Ausweis search would find the note. It is likely that ausweis is in the PDF of the other note if it appears in the search results. If you only want to search on the title add intitle: to the search, for example intitle:ausweis.
