REQUIREMENTS:
- JSON Helper (http://www.mousedown.net/mouseware/JSONHelper.html)
- Satimage osax Applescript plugin (https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16798/satimage-osax)
- an Evernote data cache, properly formatted, created by [this script](https://gist.github.com/smargh/7462510).

This script reads an Evernote .txt cache file which is created by using the "Evernote Cache" script and extracts relevant data. This method allows for near instantaneous search and retrieval of Evernote data, without pinging the Evernote app or the Evernote server.  
 
The best use of these examples is within larger workflows that require extracting Evernote data. This script is more about demonstrating the possiblities than about being actually useful.

property dataTypes : {"name", "creation_date", "modification_date", "subject_date", "source_url", "latitude", "longitude", "altitude", "tags", "notebook", "note_link", "reminder_time", "reminder_done_time"}

set noteCache to readtext cachePath

tell application "JSON Helper"
	set json to read JSON from noteCache
end tell

set result_list to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count of json
	set thisNote to item i of json
	
	--change the data field to whatever you are searching
	if tags of thisNote contains "wikify" then
