When trying to look for a contact through the search function, it only gives one contact matching the criteria at the bottom of the search. I have Web & Contacts ticked on Searchable items in the options.
It used to be better on the N1, you'd get priority on the contacts (I think) but it would include web search as well.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I thought I'd seen something, somewhere that I could:
- go into the Notes applicaton
- hardwritten a shopping list (for example)
- sync to Evernote
- use Evernote for Windows to retrieve the documents from the cloud
- search for an item from the shopping list to reveal the document.
Something about this is all possible due to the way Evernote processes the image it can work out in some cases words. Now if that fantasy in my mind or is it that my handwritten on the Flyer is that bad that Evernote doesn't stand a chance?.
Thanks
Iain
I didn't check it now but Evernote search text also in handwritten notes.
If you are asking if Evernote will search your handwritten notes, the answer is yes. It does a pretty good job. I would say that it gets it right about 80% of the time even with my poor handwriting. The better you are at block letters, the better the results.

OK Thanks.
Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong then please?
Using 'Notes' I've created a new document and simply written "THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT".
I've allowed 'Notes' to sync with Evernote.
On my Windows PC, I've had Evernote on this sync, and it successfully picks up the new document. If I then use the Search feature it find no documents, unless the word I was searching for was typed, or contained in the insert header or footer (ie top in which reads "Note: This is a screenshot of the note that you created on HTC Flyer.").
I've attached to this post an image of the written document.
I'm only using the free version of Evernote account.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
Iain
Worked for me. You may have to wait for Evernote to run the OCR if you're just on the free version. This search was done a day after writing the note.

After one day it worked for me.
Thanks all. I now understand and it's working.
I'd read in the Evernote instructions that the image would need to processed for searching, and that Premium users had priority.
I'd thought however that once the document was available within the Evernote client that this mean't that the search processing had occurred. In fact the document will sync almost immediately, but ( I think ) will later resync to update the search information.
As SciFlyer said, once it's working it does work rather well.
Thanks again

Hello all. I hope I have the right forum for this question. I have recently moved from Iphone to a Galaxy S2. One of the most useful apps on the Iphone for me was the factory supplied 'Notes' app on the iOS platform. What was even better about this was that it syncs with notes on Gmail/google and on more than once this feature has saved my skin as I tend to store a lot of everyday notes on this, so rely on it a lot.
Question is, is there a similar app on Android - preferably free but the most importance feature must be the same ability to sync with Google.
Maybe you try ColorNote or Evernote, both support online sync.
I posted this in the General Android Q & A forum without a response so I'll post my question here as well. I have been having issues with Google Voice Search recognizing some of my commands. The main problem is having the app recognize the names of some of my contacts. If the contact has a "normal" name with a "normal" spelling there isn't any problems, but any unique names or spellings do not work. I figured with time the personalized recognition option would remedy this but it has not. After some searching and taking suggestions from XDA and other forums, I decided to post my own topic to see if there is any help to be had.
I have made sure that all of my contacts are synced to the Google servers. The other popular answer is to clear your speech data from the Google dashboard. But I cannot find that option anywhere. The threads I've read say go to the Google Dashboard, scroll down to the Speech section, and click anonymize data.
My Google dashboard does not have a Speech section. I know the personalize speech recognition is on in the voice search app. Does anyone know where this data is in the dashboard or of a reason why it would not being getting saved? The only thing I can think of is that I have my Web Search History turned off, but those two things seem not to be related. Any help would be appreciated.
Go to: https://www.google.com/dashboard/b/0/?hl=en
Sign in then scroll down to Speech.

Thanks for the response, but my Google Dashboard doesn't have a Speech section. When I go to the dashboard the headings I have are:
Accout, Me on the Web, Profile, AdSense, Alerts, Android devices, Buzz, Calendar, Chrome sync, Contacts, Docs, Gmail, Google+, iGoogle, Latitude, Maps, Orkut, Picasa Web Albums, Play Music, Play Store, Reader, Talk, Tasks, Voice, Web History, Webmaster Tools, and YouTube.
Since my original post I have enabled Web History for searches only. Still nothing.
I have the same issue with a few as well. I just created another contact with their contact information but for the name I used a nickname that it recognized.
If I tell it to call my wife using her name it's hit and miss so I created a contact for her using "my wife" and it calls her everytime. Sometimes you have to be creative.
Good luck and let us know your solution.

I've now made a work around using your suggestion. I went into my Google Contacts and created a new group that I'm not displaying on my phone. I filled this group with the contacts that I have problems with, and updated them with more conventional spellings for their names. Voice Search still has access to these contacts but they don't show up in my phone book. Seems to be the best I can do until I figure out why Google isn't recording my voice searches for personalization...
Personalize speech regonition isnt working
I am having the same issue as the previous posters and it is driving me crazy. Very few people seem to be experiencing this problem or at least very few are posting about it.
I AM able to turn on "personalize speech recognition" via the setting in voice search, but on my google dashboard the speech section is missing and I see no evidence that google speech recognition accuracy is improving in any way. Ive tried clearing the app data and enabling search history without success.
Im running ICS stock rom on an HTC vivid with ATT service. I have voice search 3.0.1. The app store only has version 2.1.4. Id gladly uninstall 3.0.1 and install 2.1.4 from the app store if it would fix this problem but im worried uninstalling voice search could cause additional problems. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
thanks
I can't find Personalized Recognition option in Google search, after this last update?!?
Hi everyone!
Just got my Nord 2.
In general really satisfied (hope it doesn't explode)!
Anyway, coming from a Huawei I miss the really useful feature of being able to search through your contacts using the Notes field.
This way you do not have to bloat the contact's name or other fields with ugly information. You could just write it down in the Notes field and when you search it, it appears.
Unfortunately, this cannot be done with the Google contacts version embedded in the phone latest firmware v11.3
It is possible on the web version of Google contacts and in other 3rd party Android apps and other phones as well.
I find this feature missing quite annoying.
Has anybody any different experience with this?
UPDATE:
It seems this is a bug with Google Contacts and Phone app with the Greek Alphabet I am using. This is not the case when using Latin alphabet. Everything works normally then.
Also in the Phone app search actually uses the Notes field when written in Greek but ONLY IF it is an EXACT MATCH including capital letters
