What platform do you run EN on? I have 9.3k notes and find it _horrifically_ slow to run searches on macOS (Quad core i7 Mini 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD).

It's so bad that I am actively looking for alternatives, even though I'm dreading getting my highly-formatted data out in a usable form.

Mainly macOS. Well, to begin with: I don't perceive it as "terribly slow". Yes, it has hiccups at times, but we are talking about several thousand notes. And in that range I haven't seen a real altrrnative. For instance I imported my 12k notes in BearApp. The app won't open anymore after the import.

I am in the exact same position. Especially so after several senior execs left the Evernote company. I even work on a custom notes store (Django and mysql backed) to keep kopies of all my notes because I really see no real alternative with the search capabilities of Evernote. And no, OneNote is not the same (search wise)
