Search for folder in Apple Notes

is it possible to search for a specific folder in the Apple Notes application- on either an iPhone or iPad?

It does not appear that you can. I don't have the notes I have in my iPad separated into folders, so I created a couple of new folders, giving them names that should not appear in any of my notes. When searching, it does not identify the folders. I found one note with a word I didn't think was in a note that I had named the folder to, so it would seem it can find a word within a note, but not a named folder.
