notes - keyword finder from search

hi guys, i am regular at searching for some keywords in my notes app on iphone 14 from the search bar. for eg - log in id or email id's or passwords sometime for different apps and websites.

previously it used to take me directly to the keyword inside the notes. for eg - keyword HARRY is in 3 notes somewhere on the top, somewhere in the middle and somewhere in the bottom along with its respective password

now after search HARRY it shows only 2 notes and sometimes all 3 come up but it doesnt highlight where it word is, i have to manually scroll down and find it. any help ?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello bhavesh_likemike,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. First, we'd recommend checking your Siri & Search settings since that will directly impact search results. Try enabling Notes using the following guidance from Change Siri settings on iPhone.

"Change which apps appear in search

You can change which apps appear when you search with Siri.

Go to Settings > Siri & Search, then scroll down and select an app.
Turn settings on or off."

If the same continues, another tip would be to search within the note. The following is from Search your notes on iPhone.

"Search within a note for typed and handwritten text

Open the note you want to search.
Tap , then tap Find in Note.
Type the text you’re looking for in the search field."

Kind regards
