Query language in Evernote
Command line lovers dedicated
Active users of Evernote, in whose notebooks several hundreds or even thousands of notes have already accumulated, will certainly use the search engine service no less than Internet search engines. And this means that the search functionality offered by our service should be comparable to what Google and others offer. To some extent, we even go around them by indexing and finding not only text notes or PDF documents, but also words in images. Evernote also has its own query language, which we hope will greatly simplify the daily search for notes for those who use our service often enough or simply dislike the mouse.
It is clear that it differs from the language of search engine queries due to the features and objectives of our service. Next will be discussed about the main Evernote search filters, the use of which makes sense to make a habit.

So the simplest. If you want to exclude from the list of notes in a notebook, all entries in which there is one or another word, it is enough to enter - (minus sign) and the exception word in the query line. For example:
If you need to find notes with any of some words, use the any: option. For example:
Please note that any: must appear after all other parameters in the search line, but before the words of the query. All words specified after any: are considered queries. Remember to separate the word from any: by a space.
With the help of another parameter tag: you can limit the list of notes to entries that have been assigned a tag. Please note that the tag: is written with the name of the tag. For example:
If you want to use the restriction on several tags, tag: is assigned for each:
If the label consists of several words, you need to enclose them in quotes:
In order to exclude all entries with a specific label, it is enough to put a minus sign in front of the parameter:
You can also limit the list of notes by the initial letters of the label names. To do this, after the first letters you need to enter the symbol *:
The search area can be limited to a separate notepad or notepads:
The notebook parameter in the search bar should go before the rest.
Also, the search area can be limited to certain words that should be contained in the headers of notes. For example:
It may be very useful for many users to be able to limit the list of entries to a range of dates for creating or updating notes. To do this, use the terms created or updated, respectively.
Options for using the filter by date (in the examples - the date of the notes):
on or before the specified date
drill down to the time of day is possible - in the example before or at 10:15 on December 3, 2009
Today
yesterday
30 days ago
this week
this month
this year
The minus sign leaves in the list notes made before the specified date:
until November 13:
yesterday:
etc.
You can also find notes by specifying the desired type of content, for example, with or without pictures, with audio or without audio notes, etc.
Search for notes containing pictures or gif-files:
search notes without audio:
Hope this little memo will be helpful. We at Evernote will also be grateful for comments and suggestions regarding our search for notes. And not just search.
And the most advanced and non-alien English users are encouraged to read the full description of the Evernote query language .
