yavin 9 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 It would be really great if when typing out a tag value in a note search, if existing tags auto-completed to a list. For example if I was searching for notes tagged withe the word 'vacations' I might type 'tag:vac' and get a list of tags that existed with this prefix and can choose the right one without needing to guess if I had defined the tag as plural or not or needing to go back to all my tags to manually research what was defined. I understand I can use wildcards to avoid the suffix altogether but it seems this method also has the problem of picking up other like spelled tags that I do not want in my results.

Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted July 21, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted July 21, 2013 In the new Windows 5 beta, this is available, though it looks like there's a problem. For example, hit F6 to bring you to the search control. Start typing. If Evernote recognizes what you've typed as a prefix of one or more tag names, it suggests them. Pick one, and it's added. The problem: it also leaves what you've typed as a text search. Looks like a glitch. For example, you type "To" and you see Tags: "Todo", "Today", and "Tonsils". You select "Todo", and you wind up with the search "tag:Todo To" Link to comment
GaryLKing 46 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 In my case, the auto completion has changed. It doesn't pick a match automatically. Even if I have only 1 tag that matches the typed text, it still requires that I select from the drop down list(or finish typing the whole thing). Otherwise it creates a new tag when I press enter. This is not the case with the last version. It would fill in the whole tag & search when there was nothing left to eliminate. Regards, Gary Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted July 22, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted July 22, 2013 Is your case version 4, or the version 5 beta? Link to comment
jmedlin 1 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 My version 4 of Evernote worked like GaryLKing said. I preferred that method. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted July 22, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted July 22, 2013 OK, I only have version 5 installed on my Windows machines, so I can't check on the version 4 behavior easily any more... Link to comment
GaryLKing 46 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 @jmedlin Yes. It filled in version 4 with "enter", requires a selection then "enter in 5. I have machines with each versions, so I double checked. It's not a huge problem, but I'm creating a number of new, useless tags in the mean time. I'm a slow learner. Regards, Gary Link to comment
