BitQwik Search Types


BitQwik is a natural language front-end for Evernote Windows users.

Bitqwik gives you access to nearly all of Evernote’s powerful and advanced search filters using plain English commands (location searching is not supported yet but will be soon).  Below are several sample search filters that are all legal queries with BitQwik, grouped by category. Remember, there’s no set syntax or command language.  You just tell BitQwik what you want and BitQwik tells Evernote how to find it for you.  If you’re not sure how to ask it, then just ask!

NOTE: The last example in each set shows that you can combine filters freely any way you want.

Here’s a menu of search examples, click on the one that interests you the most or just browse the whole page:
