Going directly to highlighted searched words within notes?

With an iPhone 8, if I searched within notes, when I clicked on the results, I was taken directly to the searched-for text, and it was highlighted in yellow. It was a huge time saver. I recently upgraded to iPhone 13. I can’t seem to get that same thing to happen. Please help.

iPhone SE, iOS 11

Hello Expressive Glass,


If you can't search in the Notes app on your iPhone, then we'd recommend taking these steps for a solution:


  1. Get updated for the latest fixes: Update your iPhone or iPad
  2. Close the Notes app, since it isn't working as expected: Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch
  3. Restart the device: Restart your iPhone


Should the issue continue, then it would be best to contact Apple Support directly: Get Support They would need to take it from here.


Take care.
