Joplin: [Feature Request] Search inside a note

Operating system

Application

• Mobile

I'd like to be able to search inside a note.

I second this, although I would also like to see this feature in the desktop apps.

If a note is rather long it makes sense to be able to search within the note.

+1 for all platforms. I have long notes and searching them is very handy.

I'm surprised this feature is somehow not already included. The current search only half as useful as it should be.
When I search, it filters my list of notes to just the notes containing the word, but it doesn't highlight the word?! I have to manually scan through the doc to find where it was used inside the doc.

Search now shows what notes contain the text. What is missing is:

• Found text is highlighted, but only in the viewer-layout, not in the editor layout. I only use the editor layout, so it took me a while to figure this out.
• The search does not scroll to the first found highlight. So you have to scroll manually to find where the highlights are.

I'm quite surprised that this basic functionality is not in, like it is in any other text-editor. Perhaps my needs don't overlap with Joplin's features. I haven't used OneNote, so perhaps it is the same there.

Perhaps the way Thunderbird does search within an email could be replicated.

+1, useful for longer notes.

Why is this closed ?

[tessus]

It's not.

I was searching for an issue related to my particular [FR] and this seems the nearest.

Could we allow searching within the MD itself? For instance, I often want to see if I have a duplicate URL, but the search is looking at the rendered panel.

Thanks!
