I know: crazy. My workaround is to delete all my Saved Searches, rebuild them carefully, and take screenshots of what each search’s syntax is.

It’s a hack… and you have to batch tag the notebook once in a while, but it makes it work for now.

fileName:PIC-001.jpg
fileName:Catch*

encryption:

But I like the idea of a popup – I used autohotkey to give me popups for other interesting things (like frequently used phone numbers), I should just make a new one for EN queries.

By the way, the notebook query is only so useful. You can use it to narrow your search down to one notebook, but you can’t use it to search through multiple (vs. all) notebooks, or to exclude any notebooks.

I have an “all notebooks” category, but I also have a notebook of “completed” items, and I don’t want those showing up when I do a search of active projects.

I actually stumbled across this in the API documentation as well, but you gave some really good examples.

Quick question: can you tell me how to search all notebooks? I tried “notebook:*”, “notebook:all”, etc. but can’t seem to make it work for me.

Thanks again,
Dale

Set note properties to On Top and Attach|Only if Visible. Not exactly a popup but it gets the job done.

Wish it could be a button. Jeremy, keep trying – a popup would be most useful. Excellent post. Thanks.

A good one. I’ve been looking for a way to turn these and other shortcuts into a simple popup a la Gmail’s Shift+?, where one small pane would list all the useful terms on request.

I’ve tried Klips, Windows Gadgets, Adobe AIR apps, but so far nothing quite works.

Thanks Tom!
