Search function on Notes not working properly after Iphone change.

I moved my iPhone contents from iPhone 13 to a new iPhone 15 using Quick-start, everything seems OK except that the search function in notes on my new iPhone does not work properly. The data is all there in notes but the problem is that the search function does not work properly ( not all occurrences of a word are found ).

iPhone 15, iOS 17

I have found this answer which worked for me : d this on my iPhone. Here's how I fixed it:

Go to Settings> Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store > iCloud
When you see "APPS USING ICLOUD" see if the switch by "Notes" is on. If it's on then switch it off.
Go to the "Notes" app - you should see all notes that were in the iCloud folder disappear. Don't be alarmed! They are still in iCloud, just getting removed from your phone.
Restart your iPhone
Again, go to Settings> Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store > iCloud
When you see "APPS USING ICLOUD" find "Notes" and switch it back on.

Your notes will repopulate and be searchable again.
