Searching in Evernote Part 2

In the first Searching in Evernote post you learned about Evernote's search syntax. Using the same methods as in the last post you can also search dates. You can search for notes created or updated on a specific day, 30 days ago, this month, last year, etc.

The image below shows notes created last week using created:week-1

By using created:day or updated:day where day is replaced by any of the following day terms below will give you the notes you are looking for.

Day Term	Use with created:day or updated:day
Date	20141215 or 20140407
Today	day
Yesterday	day-1
30 days ago	day-30
This week	week
Last week	week-1
This month	month
Last month	month-1
This year	year
Last year	year-1

You can also search for notes by source by using the following:

To Find	Search Syntax
Email	source:mail.smtp
Web page	source:web.clip
Mobile	source:mobile.*
Application	source:app.*
Delicious	source:delicious

Reminders are also searchable using the following:

To Find	Search Syntax
Reminder done in the last 7 days	reminderdonetime:day-7
All notes with a reminder	reminderorder:*
All notes with a reminder for today	remindertime:day
All notes with a reminder in the next 7 days	remindertime:day+7

In the image below you can see all reminders that are due today.

I save searches that I use often in the shortcuts bar.

Saved searches for quick access.

No matter what you put into Evernote you should be able to find it using tags and Evernote's search Syntax. Evernote is a powerful tool to help keep you organized and on top of things.

Do you use Evernote's powerful searching??

How I Use Evernote for My Genealogy.

NOTE: 2 Feb 2014 -- Link updated to shared notebook ______________________________________________________________________ Today I did a Google+ hangout on air about Evernote for Genealogy . Once I watched the video I saw that I was not a very good cameraman! Hopefully this will clear up any questions you may have. How I use Evernote for my genealogy. I use Evernote to store everything including my genealogy research. You want to use Evernote in a way that makes sense to you. Tags, notebooks, no tags or no notebooks; do whatever works the best for you. Notebooks (the blue box) Notebooks are sorted alphabetically so if there are notebooks you want at the top of your list you can use ! or @ or ~ in front of your notebook title. In my image, for example, I have my INBOX notebook with an ! in front to keep this notebook at the top of the list. I use a ~ to keep my GENEALOGY notebook stacks together. ...

The Great Genealogy Shape Up of 2018!

For most of 2017, I spent my genealogy time cleaning up my database in Legacy Family Tree. I'm still working on cleaning up messes from when I first started my family tree. For 2018, I plan to continue cleaning up my database. I would also like to finish adding all Find A Grave information to my database as well. Find A Grave is a great place to find leads to research. Legacy makes it very easy to find everyone in your database who do not have Find A Grave memorials. Click the drop-down arrow on the Find A Grave icon and it gives you the following options: I selected create a list of people without a Find A Grave Memorial and I got a nice LONG list of people. From this list, I have been able to find more ancestors to research and add to my database. My other goal for 2018 is to find the people in my database who do not have a source {yes, I said without a source. Gasp!} Leg...

Saturday Genealogy Fun On Monday!

I'm finally getting around to doing this. On Saturday March 22, 2014 Randy Seaver from Genea-Musings posted Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- How Many Surnames in Your Database. Randy's mission: 1) Go into your Genealogy Management Program (GMP; either software on your computer, or an online family tree) and figure out how to Count how many surnames you have in your family tree database. 2) Tell us which GMP you're using and how you did this task. 3) Tell us how many surnames are in your database and, if possible, which Surname has the most entries. If this excites you, tell us which surnames are in the top 5! Or 10!! Or 20!!! 4) Write about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, in a status or comment on Facebook, or in Google Plus Stream post. This is one of my favorites; I like looking at statistics about my database. I use Legacy 8 and there is a new button that says statistics and gives you a lot of gre...
