Search notes

I want to …

… search titles and bodies of every note.

Before you start

  • Search sits at the top right as a magnifier and expands to the left.
  • It looks in titles first, then in the body.

Here's how

  1. Open Notes.
  2. Tap the magnifier. The Notes title fades out and the field grows.
  3. Type a word. After a short moment the list filters.
  4. If the match is in the title, you see the note without an extra snippet.
  5. If it is only in the body, a short piece appears under the title with the word in white and bold.
  6. Sections stay: Pinned, Collection with the row Parking lot, then All notes, starting with the Random Note.
  7. The row Parking lot stays even when no note matches. It shows how many parked links match by title or host, for example 3 matches. Tap it to search the parking lot for the same word.
  8. Escape or the close icon clears and collapses search. Pull to refresh reloads the list.
  9. Search covers the notes that are loaded. If an older note is missing, tap Load more and search again.

The result

You land on the matching note even when the title does not carry the word.

Common questions

Why is the list empty?

No title or body contains that string. The message is No notes match your search.
