# Evernote Tips

After using Evernote for 14 months, I finally asked some colleagues if it was possible to search for the checkmark boxes in a note. It turns out that, and some amazing things are very easy. Here’s the tip of the iceberg, and some links to more tips and the programmers documention with more details.

- search Evernote for unchecked boxes with *“todo:false”* You can tell you got it right because the small "Viewed … " text to changes to show “with todo filters Unfinished.” *“todo:true:\** will find the notes with checked boxes.
- search of resource:image/\* will find notes with images in them.
- Right clicking text lets you encrypt it if you want, complete with pass phrase. Then you can search *“encryption:* to find notes with encrypted text.
