Simply perform the search you would like to save, then click on the button that takes that search and saves it as a Saved Search.

I thought I must be some kind of moron because yesterday I was editing search syntax on EN on my iMac (runs Snow Leopard - OSX 10.6 - not sure what version of EN), then today on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.7 Lion, running EN Version 3.0.5 (209933)) I can't edit the syntax in the search bar. Also weird behavior - I saved a search with just "projects" (no tag, just the word "project") because my "@ projects" search was returning 0 and I could see notes tagged "@ project"!! Then I found this thread on EN Support: http://bit.ly/xzvSm6 Too bad, looks like Evernote have decided to REMOVE search editing from the Mac client already and the Win client soon. Does this mean your set-up can no longer be set up by new users Ruud? Are we back to using tags only? Okay, I’m new to EN and a little experienced with GTD.

Since it "should" work it might be worth posting a note to the evernote forums - it would appear to be a bug with your particular situation.

So many companies these days do not allow user-installed client software on work computers that a complete home and work solution requires web access. Yes, the search box only needs a click. There's no dropdown showing in Firefox. Ruud and Ashley, Thanks!

Perform the search, then when you click in the search box (not the search button) a menu drops down, one of the options is "Save this search". You'll notice all of your saved searches should be there as well, whether created in the web version or desktop version. That said, lately I've just been using the context tags alone - since I don't tag them as finished and instead remove their context tags (and set a "reference" or "finished" tag). @Glenda – it works for me.

Evernote says that the ability to <i>create</i> saved searches in the web version will be brought back but doesn't give a timeline. You can access your existing, synced saved searches by clicking on the dropdown in the search box and selecting Add Filters. Glenda, I rarely use the web version.

I started to set up my Evernote with tags-only per your advice, but discovered that the web version does not support Saved Searches. Do you know anything about this? Has it ever impacted you?

It just works. I'm not very OCD on which tool I use for GTD though and love to be here and there. Moleskine & G2 for a while, MindManager, Evernote. Currently I use OmniFocus for iPad -- now *that* has been a completely new find and experience for me. I use EN as my database of everything, as capture tool, and for project reference. I have two project stacks: personal and work projects. An Evernote notebook can act as a great "binder" to keep emails, files, webpages, etc. all nicely together.
