aleks12578845 3 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hello! I try to use tags hierarchy because Evernote doesn't support multilevel notepads (only 2 levels supported). I have tags hierarchy: travel thailand_travel sights_thailand_travel rent_thailand_travel india_travel sights_india_travel rent_india_travel I have to use suffixes like "_thailand_travel" to avoid duplicate tags in india_travel and thailand_travel. I want to find all notes marked with thailand_travel (with subtags). How to do it? I read "How to use Evernote's advanced search syntax" and tried tag:"*_thailand_travel" and tag:*_thailand_travel. Both don't work. Link to comment

Both don't work. Try using prefixes instead of suffixes, for example search tag:"thailand_travel_*" travel thailand_travel thailand_travel_sights thailand_travel_rent You could also use separate tags, for example tag:thailand and tag:travel_sights I have a problem with extended tagnames. In different views/platforms, the tagname gets truncated. I would end up with multiple choices saying thailand_t Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted August 12, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted August 12, 2016 To make the hierarchy work, you need to reverse *all* of the tag names: travel travel_thailand travel_thailand_sights travelthailand_rent travel_india travel_india_sights travel_india_rent Conversely, you could just make single tags, as DTLow suggests: "travel", "India", "Thailand", "sights", "rent". In the long run, you'll need far fewer tags for this kind of system and it will probably be more flexible too, but you won't have a tag tree hierarchy to navigate via point and click either. I opt for the former approach. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,248 Posted August 12, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted August 12, 2016 I would opt for a parent tag of Travel, with a child tag per country and the additional child tags of Sights and Rent (plus whatever other "shared" tags you use). I would not add Travel to any of the notes, just the country and whichever other tags. Then a search for tag:Thailand returns all Thailand notes and you can and add tag:sights to the search to refine to Thailand sights notes. Side benefit to this is if you take a trip across countries, you can add a trip tag (eg, 2016.09.01 Asia) to the appropriate notes and a search will return the sights you have selected for the trip. All you have to do for a new location is add the location as a child to the Travel tag. I believe there is more flexibility with tags, but you do lose the hierarchy and have to rely on the searches to make this work. A lot of personal preference in whatever method you use. FWIW.

aleks12578845 3 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Thanks for tips! I make different tags like here: travel sight rent country thailand india It's more flexible approach compared with my first idea. Link to comment
