Evernote Search recently got a major revamp to bring you better suggestions, more relevant results, and a smoother overall search experience. Here’s what we’ve been working on:

🔍 A refreshed search modal:

🔹 Centered pop-up. Starting a search query now opens a centered pop-up window to give more space and visibility to your suggested content.
🔹 Scrollable suggestions. You can now see all of your suggested results via a scrollable list directly in the modal.
🔹 Priority for title matches. Search suggestions now give higher priority to notes, notebooks, stacks, spaces, and tags with titles that match your search query.
🔹 Clearer categories in the default state. You can quickly scan content at a glance via four helpful categories: Recent searches, Saved searches, Recent notes (grouped by when they were last updated), and Filters.

⚡ Smarter and faster suggestions while typing. As you type in the search modal, suggestions appear faster than ever—not just notes, but also notebooks, stacks, spaces, and tags.

⌨️  Easier note sharing. Copy a link to a note directly from the search modal, without needing to open the note fully. Just hover (or arrow-key) over a note and press CMD+L / CTRL+L to instantly copy its link.

♾️ Infinite results. Search results are no longer limited to 128 entries. You’ll now see all relevant results every time.

📍 Targeted matches in-note. When opening a note from your search results, you’ll now land directly on the first matching term. Pro tip: Use quotes (””) around your search terms for more exact results.

All these changes add up to a faster, smarter, more seamless experience—make sure to download the latest Desktop version to take advantage of the recent improvements.

Happy searching! 💚

We’ve made some small but important changes to how Move and Delete work—designed to reduce friction and help you keep momentum while organizing your notes.

Keep moving forward

Previously, when moving or deleting a note you would stay on the note which had just been moved or deleted—potentially disrupting your workflow. Now, when you take either action, the next note in your list automatically opens, so you can keep working without interruption.

On the other hand, if you prefer to quickly go to the note you just moved or deleted, just click the link in the confirmation banner that appears after the action.

Made a mistake? Undo it instantly

No more scrambling if you move or delete something by accident. An Undo banner now appears right after the action, so you can easily reverse any unwanted changes.

A cleaner, sharper Move modal

We also gave the Move modal a round of polish to make it more reliable and easier to use:

👉 You can now create a new notebook or space directly from the modal
👉 The modal now shows the name of the note being moved

No more unexpected disruptions or deletions—making it easier than ever to stay on task.

Now, you can transcribe audio and video files that are up to 1 hour / 100MB—perfect for converting long meetings, lecture, or podcasts into editable and searchable text.

As a reminder, AI Transcribe works within Evernote or with our standalone tool, and can be used with the following common file formats:

🎧 Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, MPGA, WEBM
📹 Video: MP4, MOV, MPEG
🖼️ Images: JPG, PNG, GIF

Here’s how we achieved this result:

Before, every time you opened the notebook list, Evernote would run multiple queries—in this case, we were processing a whopping 21 requests each time! 

By migrating the entire process to a single query, we not only halved loading time, but we also saw a 50% reduction in the CPUs needed to load the list. As a result, your notebook list is smoother and faster to navigate than ever before.

Make sure you're using v10.130 or higher on Desktop to experience the speed improvements for yourself. Plus, keep an eye out for similar improvements coming soon to Mobile. 👀

Our Performance Squad has been hard at work speeding things up in Evernote Mobile—and the results speak for themselves:

📱iOS: 96.5% of users load the editor in under 1 second (up from 76%)
🤖Android: 97% of users load the editor in under 2 seconds (up from 69%)

We also made the process of opening and creating notes in Android faster for a much larger portion of the user base (+23% and +15% respectively!).

Here's how we achieved these great results:
🔹To see a note, the Evernote mobile app needs to load it inside the note editor.
🔹Before, the note editor was re-loaded every time a different note was opened.
🔹Now, the note editor is loaded in the background when the app starts, and is used for all the notes opened and created thereafter.

Make sure you’re using v.10.133 or higher on your Mobile device to take advantage of these improvements. We hope to bring you an even faster experience soon!

1) Custom font sizes. Go beyond the pre-set options and choose any whole number (whether it’s font size 2 to 200) for ultimate flexibility.

2) Sleeker Transcribe toolbar on images. Easily extract text from images with a more subtle, non-intrusive overlay.
