timmycomedy 14 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 For some reason I can't get intitle: searchterm to work anymore. Has this changed? Link to comment
maxikk 17 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The intitle: search is still there. One thing to keep in mind is that advanced searches like intitle: look for an exact match to the searchterm, unless followed by a wildcard (*). For example, if you have a note titled Stars, searching for intitle:st won't find the note, searching for intitle:stars or intitle:st* will. If this doesn't help, please post a specific example of a note title and a search query that don't work. Link to comment

Has this changed? I don't know if this is a factor or not, but the searchterm must be immediately after the "intitle:" qualifier, with NO spaces:intitle:searchterm Link to comment
logandb 227 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Further to @JMichaelTX's comment, if your search term has spaces within it, ensure you put double quotes around it (but no space between the colon and the opening quote: intitle:"search term" Link to comment
timmycomedy 14 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Oh these are the greatest! It was a combination of all these issues - I wasn't putting the searchterm w/o spaces after "intitle:" I also wasn't aware of using double quotes to assure EN would register spaces. You guys are the best! Responsive too! I'm a 5-year Stand up comedian and I would be loooost w/o Evernote. It's my personal RAM. Link to comment

Bygs 1 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hi everyone, First post here, I would really appreciate your help. I've several notes with titles stating by special characters such as @ § ou #. I'd like to use the operator intitle: to find them but many other notes are coming out : all notes with title starting by # or @ § and some with no special character in title. Does someone know a trick ? Thanks a lot, Bygs Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted November 19, 2016 Level 5 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The intitle: search command is very powerful. I don't use any special characters in the Evernote title, due to the reasons you mentioned above. I'm up to 44,000 notes. I find tagging the note to be a more accurate method to categorize my notes I also use the date as a prefix to the title. (YYMMDD-title description) My title usually looks like this: YYMMDD - location - subject - person Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted November 19, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yup. Wot he said. Plus Evernote Search works on alpha-numerics and (of all other special characters) underlines, and only on the lead character(s) in a word. So: search for "intitle:_" and you'll find " _this" "but not_this". Your tactic won't work I'm afraid - but don't be downhearted: there are dozens of options out there...

Bygs 1 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 OK guys, thanks a lot for your answers, I'll find something else. Best, Bygs Link to comment
Nick Smith 10 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have 15k notes, and have started to use search more often now to find specific notes that I want to retrieve from the distant past. However when I use the search term intitle:someWord or intitle:"some string of words" in the search bar Evernote draws a blank, which is plainly wrong as I then spend some time manually finding those notes. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in Evernote search? Thanks in advance Link to comment

Nick Smith 10 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 AHA... think I've sorted it! If I was previously using a saved search, and type intitle:somePhrase in the search bar, even though the search information shows the correct search format, the search doesn't work. However, if I click the X on the previous search to clear it, then type new (intitle:) search, everything works fine!! Link to comment

Then hit F6 to search and prior search context will be cleared giving you a search from scratch. Link to comment
WolfChild 19 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I had a similar issue with the intittle: search not showing results. The problem for me was I was leaving a space between the : and the first letter of the search phrase. Example intittle: car came up with nothing but intittle:car brought back the results I was looking for. Link to comment
