Joplin: No way to search from inside a note on Android

Created on 28 Jan 2020 · 10Comments · Source: laurent22/joplin

There is no way to search for text in a note from inside the note view on Android. Desktop versions of Joplin provide this functionality, but not on Android. There are previous issues describing this problem that were automatically closed (see #382).

As I understand, b189814 adds an ability to highlight the text within notes, so one can search from the main note search menu, but this is useless and using this function is not intuitive when a user is already inside a note.

The open menu on the screenshot should contain another option to "Search in this note".
