How to search Mac notes by folder name?

I need to be able to search by folder name - not just a note that contains the name.

Search "Jane Doe" which is the name of the folder.

My content within may not mention the name Jane Doe therefore I can not find this content.

Also need to be able to jump to a folder when viewing a note that is in a folder.

I have several hundred folders (even if I had less) - its beyond absurd you can not search by folder name.

Takes too long to find Jane Doe. But the point is you need to be able to "think it, find it, use it". This should be the search principle Apple builds around.


No folder search function is one of the most absurd things I've ever seen from Apple.


How is this possible @apple?

Its a basic function - and to not be available is quite frankly pathetic on Apple's part. As a software provided you don't serve your users by building something that incentivizes you to create folders, etc. and then don't include a search function for said folders. I need an answer from the people at Apple that make these decisions. Myself and my colleagues need this basic function. Lose tremendous trust in Apple to omit this fundamental search function on one of the principal apps they support.
