Single Note disappeared (iPhone)

Wrote an important note on the Notes app on my iPhone 12. I updated the note continuously over a couple of hours, using several different apps during that time as well. Coming back to Notes to update the note worked well. Then, suddenly the note was no where to be found. Not in any folder, not in Recently deleted. I have even searched for the note title in the general iPhone search bar, but nothing. I have the sync with iCloud turned on, and I have updated and restarted my iPhone. All other notes are still there.

Any ideas on what can have happened, and any recommendations on how to find/restore it?

Many thanks!

iPhone 12, iOS 18

Recovering Lost Notes:

If you have lost the Notes, then here is what to try...

A. Start Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

B. Restore from a Backup:

Did your ever back up your iPhone with these installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup. Note that the iOS backup version must be of the same version as what is installed.

C. Getting Notes from iCloud.

You Can't: Notes are not stored in iCloud.

Go Here: What does iCloud Back Up? - Apple Support
As it Reads: "your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups only include information and settings stored on your device. They do not include information already stored in iCloud such as Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes,"
