"Version 7.8 (457453) Direct; Editor: 62.1.7539 (b406110), running on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2.\n \n\n\n\tFor some weeks, searching has been failing, and I have had repeatedly to Recreate Full Text Index Search (from OPT Help &gt; Troubleshooting). I have almost 18000 notes including 2000 in local notebooks, so it takes 12-24 hours to recreate. During this time, searching works fine on the Web and iOS versions (though not across the local notebooks, of course).\n \n\n\n\tI have eventually discovered that the index is lost if I quit Evernote, so I am having to leave it open 24x7 on my iMac, which I don't really want to do. Besides, I forget sometimes, and close the program by accident.\n \n\n\n\tThe lack of a reliable searching mechanism defeats the whole object of choosing Evernote over its rivals: if I can't search for something I put there months ago, that is not tagged, and is not in the notebook I thought it might be, it is not very useful!\n \n\n\n\t(Secondary problem: despite being a Premium member, I can find no way to raise a Support Ticket!)\n \n\n\n\tDoes anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix, please?\n \n\n\n\t \n \n"
