As an example, search for :tab !reference that contain no other tabs.

So it will find:
!reference
but will not find:
!reference, software
!reference, hardware

etc…
making it possible to find notes that have been classified as reference notes but have not been further catagorized.

I’m about to go for it.

Two things (so far) keeping me from pulling the trigger.

* Partial word/string searches don’t seem possible in EverNote. For example, when I search from invoice_number, I want to find @invoice_number and $invoice_number. How do you do tihs in evernote??

* The API. Mostly I need to figure this out, but can I open a backdoor to secure notebooks where I can neatly and quickly present or allow download of a single note from another site?

Thank You for posting this and any help!

fantastic article by the way! I have a question: Is there any way to search all notes for a word which contains a ctretain part? For example the word “icebear”. If I just search for “bear” I do not get a hit. Since the search for *bear is illegal, is there any other way I can find my notes if I only remember a part of the word I am looking for?

Thanks so much for your help!
Cheers,
Christian.

The Dutch sentence:

Het weblog Dropping Steps heeft de zoekopdrachten van Evernote met voorbeelden toegelicht naar aanleiding van de in de API van Evernote beschreven krachtige zoekmogelijkheden onder het kopje “Evernote Search Grammar”.

translates manually to:

The Dropping Steps weblog explains Evernotes search commands with examples based on the Evernotes powerful search capabilities as described in the API below “Evernote Search Grammar”.

Google Translate (available in the bottom left corner of my site) does a slightly better job than Babel Fish and comes up with:

The weblog has Dropping Steps queries Ever Note examples explained in response to the API Ever Note describes powerful search under the heading ‘Note Ever Search Grammar “.

I did translate it as my Dutch isn’t up to much and as with most translation, it amused me slightly.

First it converts ‘Dropping Steps’ to ‘Airdrop Steps’.

Also just before that, it says “the web-unwieldly airdrop steps has commented…”

I’d be curious to know what the word(s) web-unwieldly should have been :-)

Thanks again for linking to this article. Its really appreciated. I wish the translation was better for yours as the bits I could make out looked very insightful.
