How to search Apple Notes by Folder (by name of a folder)?

How is it possible to not be able to search by folder name in Apple Notes?

Unbelievable oversight on this and/or lack of attention to basic user experience / workflow.


I have about 250 folders (including nested) and vital to be able to search to quickly jump to that folder.

I would love to be able to use Apple Notes for all my record keeping, having 3 iMacs, iPhone and iPad, but the inability to search only within a Folder and not All Notes, as it does, makes it impractical for me.


I was including my Film Collection, but on a search, for example, of (2009), would bring up 2 films I had and 90 results of receipts, Diary Entries, etc., making the Search not practical at all, shame.


Search does though, tell you the Folder the results are in, but you can easily miss that, unless you look carefully.
