I was typing in a Note and it disappeared. The Help section said to go to "Deleted Notes" to recover. However, I cannot find this. I also searched my Mac and could not find it. Please help me...I need these Notes. Thank you.
MacBook Pro 13", OS X 10.11
Note the icon the arrow is pointing to. If all you have is the note heading and the note pane of the Notes window, use this
toolbar icon to bring up the left sidebar that shows the note location. Recently deleted will be listed on the note location left sidebar if a note was recently deleted. If it no longer is there, you have basically not saved it in any manner.
Recently deleted notes remain for 30 days. If they are not recovered before then, they will be permanently erased. Drag any recently deleted notes back to the Notes location to keep it from being permanently deleted.

The other thing to point out, if the Note Location sidebar does not mention iCloud, you need to reconnect to iCloud in your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> iCloud, and make sure Notes is checked so it is restoring any Notes from Apple's Cloud servers.
Yes, I have looked there and there is not a line in the left column that says "Recently Deleted Notes". I save every day. I just looked at: iCloud in my Apple menu -> System Preferences -> iCloud, and yes, my Notes is checked. Is there anything else I can do to recover my Note? I really need it. It just disappeared yesterday, so it is nowhere near 30 days yet.

Tell them when you wrote the note and ask if they made a backup of it before you erased it. Give them keywords to search for.
If it did not work, always make a secondary backup on your computer, by emailing yourself notes and saving them in your Documents folder. Don’t depend on someone else to store your info. You should always keep at least two copies of all information at all times.
Thank you for trying to help me. I did as you asked. Max from Apple Support called me. We worked on in about 30 minutes, he said he was putting me on hold to get more information, but he disconnected me. I tried to call him back, but couldn't get to him. It has been an hour and he hasn't called back. I am very discouraged with Apple right now!
Did you back them up into iCloud?
I was in the middle of adding to this Note, so no. How do I find the "Deleted Notes" tab?
Can anyone help me to recover my Note that disappeared?
Call 1-800-APLCARE and get the case # ready. Tell them who you spoke with and take good notes. If the information is important you will get an answer.
How do I recover my Note?
