Hey JJ Thorp,
It sounds like your'e looking for information on searching in the Notes app. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.
We'd recommend the steps in this article: If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
"Use Search to find your notes
- Open Notes, then tap
Back until you see your list of notes. - Tap the Search bar and type a word, phrase, or the title from the note that you're looking for.
- Make sure All Accounts is selected. Search will check all of your notes in each folder across your accounts, like an email account.
If you don't see the Search bar, you might need to scroll to find it. If you still can't find a note, you might have the note locked. Search will only see the title of locked notes, so you might need to check all of your locked notes to find the specific note that you're looking for.
Manually search for your notes
If Search doesn't show results, you might need to check a different folder and scroll down the list:
- Open Notes, then tap Back until you see your Folders list.
- If you have more than one folder, tap a different folder to see if your note is in there.
If you still can't find your note, it's possible that you're not using the correct word, phrase or title from the note."
Thanks!
