Description

Alfred 2.0 workflow to search and create notes in Evernote.

Search

Keywords

• ens to search in every note field
• ens @ to search in a selected notebook
• ens # to search notes with a selected tags

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.

NEW: 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

NEW: 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

• Return key to open the note
• Shift key to preview the note
• Option key to set a reminder
• Control key to paste the note text content to the top most application
• Function key to open the note URL
• Command key to append text (from clipboard, selected text or typed) or selected file(s) in Finder. You can also use it 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" in the next step 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).

Create

Keyword enn

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

@Notebook #tag1 #tag2 !reminder :Title

• @notebook: after typing @ a list of notebooks will be displayed then select one or type it; the default will be used if omitted
• #tags: after typing # a list of tags will be displayed then select one or type a new one (multiple tags are supported, type each one after a hash sign)
• !reminder: after typing an exclamation point a list of reminder suggestions will be displayed then select one or type a custom reminder such as in 4 days or 05/01/2014
• Title: at the end, after a colon

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 :
