Description

Alfred 2 workflow to search and create notes in Evernote.

Search

Keywords

You can use ent (search in titles only) or enr (search in reminders) or entodo (search to-do notes) or enrec (search notes updated within a week) or enu (search notes with a source URL) instead of ens.

You can select multiple tags to fine tune your searching. Just add a second hash sign and select or type the tag e.g. ens #tag1 #tag2 :my query

In addition, you can select a single notebook then tags too e.g. ent @notebook #tag1 #tag2 :my query

Note that, if you want to select a notebook and/or tags, the query goes after the colon sign as seen above.

Actions

Hint: You can also use the Command key to only add tags to a note. To do so, type or select a tag and don’t type anything after the colon then select the source “Type a Note” e.g. enn #tag :

Note that Alfred Fallback Search is also supported (you have to add it in Alfred 2 Preferences>Features>Default Results, then click Setup fallback results button).

You can optionally type the note title or, for a more complex creation, follow the syntax below:

@Notebook #tag1 #tag2 !reminder :Title

Note that items of the syntax are optional, however the syntax has to end with a colon, with or without typing the note title e.g. #tag1 :

Note Content Source

Type a Note also supports multiple lines and, in this case, the first line will be the title of the note e.g. enn Line 1 /n Line 2 /n Line 3

Actions

How to Append

  1. Highlight one of the note content source e.g. From Clipboard
  2. Optionally type tags and a reminder e.g. #tag1 #tag2 !tomorrow
  3. hold command key and hit return key
  4. select a note from the list (search by title only) and hit return key

Mail

Preferences

Bring Alfred and type the keyword enpref:

  1. Quick Look: select Card (Evernote default) or HTML (entire note content)
  2. Search wildcard: select Manual (type an asterisk after the query string) or Automatic (may be slower)
