Hello storkman14,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Let's try these steps:
"Use Search to find your notes
- Open Notes, then tap the back icon
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 the back icon
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."
Let's also review all of the recommendations outlined here: If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue persists, c an you provide a few more details? Which iOS version does she have installed? Also, was her device previously backed up?
Cheers!
