Find a note you wrote years ago
Find any note by typing one word you remember from inside it.
The search box above the list of notes reads inside every one of them, not only their titles.
So a word you half remember will bring back a note you wrote three years ago.
Key points
- The search box reads inside every note, not only the titles
- One word you half remember is usually enough
What to remember
- Search reads the writing, not only the title.
- One remembered word finds the note.
Try this
