If you use tags to organize your information in Evernote, it can be handy to periodically go through and find the notes that aren’t tagged. That way, you can make sure that you have tagged everything.
By the way, this tip came from Don McAllister in the Evernote episode of ScreencastsOnline. I definitely recommend checking out his service. I learn something from every single episode.
To find all untagged notes, go to the search box in the top-right corner of the Evernote window and make sure you have selected All Notebooks[1].
Quick tip: if you want to quickly do this from anywhere on your computer, hit Ctrl-Cmd-F on your Mac or Win-Shift-F on Windows. It will automatically jump to the Evernote application, select All Notebooks, and go to the search bar.
To find all untagged notes, type the following in the search bar:
-tag:*
As you can hopefully see here, the search has brought back all my Evernote notes without tags. I can then go through and selectively tag the ones that I want. .
Give it a try and see what you find.

Assuming, of course, you want to search all notebooks. Otherwise, just select the one that you want to search.
