While many to most EN users might get by just fine by putting key text strings in the body of Notes and doing simple searches on those text strings and getting results that "start with" those text strings. The difference is "starts with" versus "exact" match.īecause there are many security symbols that start with the same 2 or 3 letters, I'd guess that your needs are better fulfilled by using your sym.xxxxx Tagging method. However, searching for the Tag abcd will find Notes that have that exact Tag, but not those with the Tag abcde. To restate and generalize the distinction, putting a text string (like abcd) in the search box will find all Notes with text strings that start with abcd, which means that a Note with abcde would also be found.

At least, that is the kind of results I get with the Windows version of EN. However, if you search for the Tag sym.camp, then the Note with sym.campX will not be found. For example, if you put sym.camp as text in the body of the Notes and do a search on that character string, EN will also find any Notes with sym.campX. In addition to convenience and possibly speed, another important benefit of searching Tags is that EN will only search for an exact match of the Tag. So, based on only its merits, I don't think your example substantiates the benefit of Tagging Notes. However, for your specific situation, I suspect you can get accurate search results on sym.camp if you put sym.camp as text in the body of the appropriate Notes. Well, this was a long story to provide you with a real-world example that literally takes seconds to use, and avoid false positives! I now have a very accurate Search results, very easy to search for, and very easy to apply tags to the appropriate Notes. As I further type, adding a "ca" then Evernote autocompletes my entry to "SYM.CAMP". So, all I have to do is click on the Tag filter, start typing "sym." and I'm presented with my "Stock Symbol list". I had decided long ago to tag all of my Notes about the stock "CAMP" with one from my Evernote Stock Symbol list, which is Tags that all begin with "SYM."

The Search returned Notes about "Boot Camp", a Mac system software, as well as Notes about camping.īut when I did a search using Tags, "tag:sym.camp", I got perfect results. So, I just did a quick search of "intitle:camp", thinking that should be good.īut, to my surprise, I had a number of false positives. The Earnings Report for CalAmp, symbol CAMP, came out today, so I wanted to see what I had researched previously and saved in Evernote. While I have given a number of examples before, a real world example just occured with me, that I would like to share with all of you. Some users have completely quit using Tags, claiming they see no benefit.

Over the last year or so there has been a lot of discussion about the benefit of using Tags in Evernote.
