0 carlomacchiavello 0 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Guys, i use evernote like replacement of most of note and text editing, and i miss a simple but very useful function : find and replace. every editor, also a simple text editor, have find and replace function. I would like to have search and replace on single note, on a specific notebook, on note with a specific tag or general all notes. Link to comment

0 FreeBrain 9 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I think Evernote has basically run out of money and cannot afford to continue much more product development. This request was first posted in this thread more than 5 years ago and Evernote has not even bothered to comment on this thread. It's an easy feature to add and that is clearly desired by the community. If they had enough money they would do it. They've raised $205 million in investment capital, but their last round ($20 million) came in 2013. Source: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/evernote/funding-rounds Link to comment

My impression is that Evernote is that in 2016 Evernote moved on from being a Venture funded company There is no more funding from “raising investment capital” Funding is from revenue, i.e. user subscription fees. And the majority of users are unwilling to pay for the service or product development 1 Link to comment

Welcome to the forums. I don’t know if the feature is basic or not. There are other powerful notetaking / database on apps without a global search/replace, for example. But, I do agree that find/replace would be a really nice feature to at least have in single notes. And, if possible, a global search/replace would also be nice. This has been requested before, but it never hurts to add your voice. Thanks! Hopefully the Evernote engineers will consider adding it. Link to comment

I recommend accepting Evernote as it is (warts and all) rather than waiting for it to be what you want it to be — as long as they are delivering good performance on the features they’ve promised (prompt bug solutions, etc.), they’re doing a good job, in my opinion. They could be doing better! Hoping and requesting is fine, but expecting them to go beyond what they’ve currently got in the app is bound to generate frustration. If this is a critical feature for you, I’d consider other apps. There are several nice ones on the mac. For example, if you are working with text, bbedit is amazing, and you can keep your notes in dropbox for access on any device. 1 Link to comment

Because if not for that feature, I would have just stuck with MacJournal. Bear looks like an interesting alternative. It seems to do a much better job with thinks like nested lists which have always annoyed me in Evernote. Evernote just gets in my way when note taking or writing. But... to be fair: The actual cost is much higher than what Bear charges. If you want equivalent functionality you will need to buy iCloud storage50GB: $0.99/month (USD)200GB: $2.99/month (USD)2TB: $9.99/month (USD) The total may not save you money. However, if you are just tired of Evernote and it isn't about the money, then that's not an issue. The migration from Evernote to Bear seems to be very challenging if you have a lot of data stored in Evernote. I'm experimenting but it doesn't look easy. It seems that the process of moving notes from Evernote to Bear loses formatting at a minimum. For some people that's not a big deal or at least acceptable but be aware that things won't move over perfectly. Link to comment

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a little skeptical my dream has come true and paranoid about losing years of work etc. Thank you! I'll do my best to answer based on my own experience, which was predicated on the ability to not only maintain the tags I currently support in EN, but also the organization or my notes across 7 different notebooks, each containing anywhere from 2 to 20 nested notebooks. This was a big selling point for EN, so any alternative solution had to be comparable. That said... Bear uses tags and nested tags to achieve the same organizational scheme. So for instance, let's say you currently have a notebook called STUFF, and within it you have two notebooks: MYSTUFF and WORKSTUFF. Each note may then have various tags associated with it: INTERESTING, BORING, GENERAL, SPECIFIC. Were you to select the primary notebook, STUFF, and export, only the tags—INTERESTING, BORING, GENERAL, SPECIFIC—would be imported. However, if you select all the notes in each individual notebook and assign them all a tag with that notebook name—i.e., MYSTUFF—and then export, MYSTUFF will come in as a tag when you import to Bear. This was the only cumbersome aspect to the import process: each tag has to be manually nested by adding the notebook tag name to it. So to get MYSTUFF and WORKSTUFF to nest beneath STUFF, you'll have to rename the two nested tags to STUFF/MYSTUFF and STUFF/WORKSTUFF. You'd likely also do the same with INTERESTING, BORING, GENERAL, and SPECIFIC. This will automatically update the notes' tags, so no need to change anything in the imported notes. What you'll wind up with is a left sidebar that looks like this: Obviously, it's a different way to look at/handle the same type of hierarchies, but for my purposes, this is working. It just required a methodical approach to exporting my notebooks and then making sure on import that I was catching anything that may have slipped through the cracks without being properly tagged. It helped that there's a preassigned "Untagged" receptacle at the top of the Tags sidebar that catches all the tagless notes, which can then be dragged to their appropriate tags, singly or en masse, from the Notes column. No lie, for my 700+ notes across 40 notebooks it took a hefty chunk of the day. But now I'm up and running. I don't think you need anything more than the Basic (Free) EN plan to take advantage of the Web Clipper extension. The only difference would be, I'm assuming, that the clip would have to be manually inserted into a Bear note. I've never taken advantage of this feature, so I'm afraid I'm no help here. I just write, and sometimes I import images and add links, all of which Bear does, with the addition of finding and replacing, taking dictation, highlighting, etc. I felt exactly the way you do: too many notes to risk on moving to a new environment. For easily a month, I was hesitant, holding onto EN out of habit and insecurity, even though I had Bear mostly set up and ready to go, and still I wasn't ready to pull the trigger. It was only when I saw the scrolling list of fixes and enhancements to the latest version—which didn't even address text replacement after this thread has just gotten longer and longer with each passing year, that I finally committed, and so far, I feel liberated and unencumbered, and the syncing across my devices feels immediate where EN often produced "Conflicting Changes" files due to my switching devices before the syncing service could catch up. My advice to you would be to give Bear a try with a single notebook, and go in with an open mind. You've got nothing to lose, since the download is free, and so is the first month if you sign up for a paid subscription. As I'm a new convert myself, I recommend checking out Bear's FAQ—https://bear.app/faq/—or even contacting them directly with any questions or concerns that might be lingering.

0 emmjayess 12 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 2 hours ago, Amystoneus said: I'll do my best to answer based on my own experience, which was predicated on the ability to not only maintain the tags I currently support in EN, but also the organization or my notes across 7 different notebooks, each containing anywhere from 2 to 20 nested notebooks. This was a big selling point for EN, so any alternative solution had to be comparable. That said... Bear uses tags and nested tags to achieve the same organizational scheme. So for instance, let's say you currently have a notebook called STUFF, and within it you have two notebooks: MYSTUFF and WORKSTUFF. Each note may then have various tags associated with it: INTERESTING, BORING, GENERAL, SPECIFIC. Were you to select the primary notebook, STUFF, and export, only the tags—INTERESTING, BORING, GENERAL, SPECIFIC—would be imported. However, if you select all the notes in each individual notebook and assign them all a tag with that notebook name—i.e., MYSTUFF—and then export, MYSTUFF will come in as a tag when you import to Bear. This was the only cumbersome aspect to the import process: each tag has to be manually nested by adding the notebook tag name to it.

Thanks for such a detailed response, but I'm still a little unclear on the concept. It seems confusing when you called "STUFF" a notebook when, based on your description of the process, STUFF would be a Stack in EN. Is that correct? Anyway, it's true: I'll just have to give it a try with one of my smaller stacks and/or notebooks and play around with it until the migration dynamics become clear and I can determine if Bear is really going to work for me.

It seems to do a much better job with thinks like nested lists which have always annoyed me in Evernote. Evernote just gets in my way when note taking or writing. But... to be fair: The actual cost is much higher than what Bear charges. If you want equivalent functionality you will need to buy iCloud storage50GB: $0.99/month (USD)200GB: $2.99/month (USD)2TB: $9.99/month (USD) The total may not save you money. However, if you are just tired of Evernote and it isn't about the money, then that's not an issue. The migration from Evernote to Bear seems to be very challenging if you have a lot of data stored in Evernote. I'm experimenting but it doesn't look easy. It seems that the process of moving notes from Evernote to Bear loses formatting at a minimum. For some people that's not a big deal or at least acceptable but be aware that things won't move over perfectly. That…doesn’t answer my question. Link to comment

(I have 3226 notes and almost 2000 tags, so I don't know...) I thought they were all notebooks, but you're right: STUFF would be the stack that contains the notebooks. Nevertheless, based on your volume of notes and tags, what I'd suggest before migrating is selecting all the notes in a given notebook, which belong to a given stack, and add or modify your existing tags to Bear-friendly versions, so that when you import, you'll have the nesting tag structure you need and therefore won't have to append manually as I did. I just did a small test just now to see if this would work by creating a note with the single tag AMYSTUFF/TESTSTUFF/MYSTUFF, and the tags came in properly nested on import. At least EN makes it easy to apply tags to all notes within a selected notebook or stack. I'd really like to believe that Bear is up to the task of maintaining your volume of content, and wish I could just say, c'mon, please give it a try and let me know, but I really do appreciate the time investment this will incur. You may want to contact Bear directly and ask if there are limits to how many notes and tags the app can maintain before embarking. Not all lessons need to be learned the hard way! I hope you'll keep me/us posted on your findings! Link to comment

Yes, very sad that all of the previous Evernote CEOs have ignored this request, which will bring EN Mac up to par with EN Win. Our hope now is that the new (last year) CEO @Ian Small will fix this, since he has already stated a goal of parity of features across all Evernote platforms. It is such a basic feature across all Mac editor apps, that it is hard to imagine that it won't be fixed. Link to comment

Well, I would love to know what has been more important for the many years that Evernote has been developed. As has been pointed out endless times, this is an extremely basic feature. Actually two: Find/replace within a note. Find/replace across notes. Both are useful. Though I would prioritize them as listed. As someone outside the company I don't like to speculate unless I can point at some evidence. So in my opinion it is just as likely that they: Have much more important things to do (that aren't evident). Don't listen to their customers. Are in maintenance mode and are just keeping the lights on for as long as possible. That means focus on "must haves" like platform updates, devops, etc. Unless Evernote staff comments we don't have any idea. Frankly I am going to spend some time with bear and see if it is a suitable replacement. If Evernote is in maintenance mode, it is time to move on. If they just don't listen to their customers, it is time to move on. Link to comment

So good bye and good luck. For myself, I'm still happy using Evernote as my digital file. Find&Replace is not a feature I require for simple notes 1 Link to comment

It would be great if you added a find and replace function within notes on Evernote. This would prevent me from having to use another program.

What about for mac users? I can't find any way to do a find-and-replace on a Mac.

As a support team, we always welcome feedback and requests for features, and pass these along to the development and management teams. We understand Find & Replace is a feature a lot of users want

Don't even see a Find & Replace option on my Mac Evernote. Please advise. Also, would be nice to have the ability to show SAVED SEARCHES in the sidebar. Thx Misha
