Search Function downgraded in version 8 – Evernote - Notes Organizer Review

After successfully avoiding upgrading to Evernote version 8 for 10 months, in November I accidentally upgraded. I did not like it. It took a lot of work to get back to version 7. Somehow, last night (December 30, 2017) automatic updates got turned on and I am again stuck with version 8, until I get back home. So, I will use it and put in a little review. Reflecting back on my conversation with Evernote technical support last month. I noticed in the transcript of our conversation, she was not able to replicate my search complaint. Now that I have it on my iPad again, and am stuck with it for a few days, I took a deeper look. The developers have added multiple search locations. One of them does search the titles first (which was what I complained about being missing in version 8.) Unfortunately, it only gives a handful of results from the title. They have also added a menu which simplifies searching for multiple tags at the same time. It looks like they have tried to make Evernote more versatile. Now that I am forced to use it until I get back home, I might even get like version 8 enough to stick with it. I am a Premium user, (yes the high price is irksome), have been using Evernote for about 7 years, and have over 6000 notes in Evernote. I've changed note taking locations many times over the years, and for now will stick with Evernote.
