Searching notes
Once you've typed text in one or more notes, you may want to find it again. Rather than manually browse through all your notes, it's far easier to let the Notes app search through your text in your notes.
To search for text in a note, follow these steps:
- Tap the Notes app on the Home screen.
- Tap on a folder that contains the notes you want to search.
- Tap in the Search text field at the top of the screen, as shown in Figure 15.32:

- Tap in the Search text field and type part or all of a word or phrase you want to find. The Notes app displays all matches, as shown in Figure 15.33:

- Tap the note that contains the search result you want.
Searching notes for text can help you pinpoint the exact note you want. However, in case you just want to browse through your notes, there's another way to display your notes beyond just a list of note...
