Execute Evernote secondary workflow: Search and Retrieval. Use when implementing search features, finding notes, filtering content, or building search interfaces. Trigger with phrases like "search evernote", "find evernote notes", "evernote search", "query evernote".

Comprehensive search and retrieval workflow for Evernote, including search grammar, filters, pagination, related notes discovery, and result enrichment with notebook/tag names.
evernote-install-auth setupBuild a SearchService wrapping findNotesMetadata(). Use NoteFilter for query terms, sort order, and notebook scope. Use NotesMetadataResultSpec to control which metadata fields are returned (title, dates, tags, notebook GUID).
const filter = new Evernote.NoteStore.NoteFilter({
words: 'tag:urgent notebook:"Work"',
ascending: false,
order: Evernote.Types.NoteSortOrder.UPDATED
});
const spec = new Evernote.NoteStore.NotesMetadataResultSpec({
includeTitle: true, includeUpdated: true,
includeTagGuids: true, includeNotebookGuid: true
});
const result = await noteStore.findNotesMetadata(filter, 0, 50, spec);
Implement a fluent QueryBuilder class that chains operators: notebook("Work"), tag("urgent"), intitle("meeting"), createdAfter(date), hasUncompletedTodos(), hasAttachments(). Call .build() to produce the query string. Use any: prefix for OR logic.
const query = new QueryBuilder()
.notebook('Work')
.tag('urgent')
.lastNDays(7)
.hasUncompletedTodos()
.build();
// Result: 'notebook:"Work" tag:"urgent" created:day-7 todo:false'
Use an async generator to iterate through large result sets page by page. Track offset and compare against totalNotes to determine when to stop. Default page size of 50-100 balances API calls versus response size.
Call noteStore.findRelated() with a RelatedQuery (by note GUID or plain text) and RelatedResultSpec to discover related notes, notebooks, and tags.
Cache notebook and tag lookups, then map GUIDs to human-readable names. Return enriched results with notebookName, tags[], created, and updated fields.
For the full SearchService, QueryBuilder, pagination, and enrichment implementations, see Implementation Guide.
| Operator | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
notebook: | notebook:"Work" | Restrict to notebook |
tag: | tag:urgent | Has tag |
-tag: | -tag:archived | Exclude tag |
intitle: | intitle:meeting | Word in title |
created: | created:day-7 | Created within last 7 days |
updated: | updated:week | Updated this week |
todo: | todo:false | Has uncompleted todos |
resource: | resource:image/* | Has attachment type |
any: | any: term1 term2 | Match ANY term (default is AND) |
SearchService with text search, notebook search, and tag searchQueryBuilder for composing search grammar queriesfindRelated()| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
RATE_LIMIT_REACHED | Too many search calls | Add delay between paginated requests |
BAD_DATA_FORMAT | Invalid search grammar syntax | Validate query with QueryBuilder |
QUOTA_REACHED | Search quota exceeded | Reduce search frequency, cache results |
For error handling patterns, see evernote-common-errors.
Find action items: Search for notes with uncompleted todos from the past week using QueryBuilder().thisWeek().hasUncompletedTodos().build(). Enrich results with notebook names.
Meeting search: Find all notes titled "meeting" in the "Work" notebook from the last 30 days, paginate through results, and export titles with tags.
