How do you search for text within a note?

Notes App iOS 12 (2019)


I know how to pull up the correct note with the search function. But sometimes I have very long notes and I need to find specific text within that single note.


For example, let’s say I am currently viewing one of my notes that has many lines of text/content. I want to find one word or phrase within that note. How do I do it?


I know this question was asked a couple of years ago, but I was hoping it was addressed by now.

Found it! It’s hidden under the share button. I’m not sure why I couldn’t find anything on line that mentions this. So yes, you can now search for text within a specific note.
