I updated my iPad Pro and iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 11 today and noticed under Settings > Siri & Search > Evernote on the iPad this new “Use With Siri” option. I turned it on, tried a few things, but nothing worked. So I posted on the Evernote forum and DT Low gave me the secret mantra.
Hey Siri Create a note in Evernote called Testing
Hey Siri Find a note in Evernote
The first time I tried this on the iPad, Siri told me something like “I’m sorry (Dave, but I can’t do that) – you’ll need to open Evernote to continue.” So I let her do that and that’s where the experiment ended. But I tried again, invoking Siri from the lock screen, and TADA. It worked. Now I can create and search notes using Siri! I can die a happy man.
Except – the “Use With Siri” option doesn’t appear on the iPhone 7 Plus and I don’t know why.
evernote ios 11 use with siri
Update: Doh! To get it working on the iPhone I just had to update the Evernote app!

Cross posting this solution from the Evernote Support forum.
If you are trying to work out how to find and replace inside Evernote (nb: this is a MAC only solution), here’s the best current solution (as Evernote doesn’t support it natively for some unknown reason).
- CMD-A the text of the note you want to edit.
- Right Click inside the note then Services ▹ New TextEdit Window Containing Selection”.
- Then in TextEdit “Edit ▹ Find ▹ Find & Replace”.
- Then copy all and paste back over selection in Evernote.
