#267 todo search fails

[Pablo Markaide]

Trying to combine search tags and checklist, I've found that todo search fails. Specifically, when searching for todo:false a small number of notes are found. Instead, todo:true seems to work in my tests (results are compared to evernote web search). Same behavior for combined searches todo:false tag:admin. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for this amazing tool!

I can't recreate this, so maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying.

You are sayng that searching todo:true or todo:false work and serching tag:admin works, but combining something like "todo:false tag:admin" doesn't show the correct number of notes matching both conditions?

Thanks.

Sorry for my bad explanation. What fails for me is just todo:false. Evernote web found x10 more notes than nevernote. todo:true seems to work well.

Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes I get confused looking at multiple tickets...

Anyway, the good news is that I was able to recreate it and I think I have it fixed. The bad news is that the bug isn't in the searching of a note, but when the note itself is saved. To speed things up for a search I mark notes with todo items during the save. Because of this the fix won't correct any existing notes, but will fix newly created or modified ones. When the fix is in you'll need to do some type of edit to the body of the note to re-drive the save process & then correct the true/false problem.

Sorry about that!
