Why no yellow highlight when searching in Notes section??

its very simple to get your searched text highlighted. In notes dont used search box at top right corner instead use command + F, this will open another long box, put your search word there. and you will get result in highlighted..

happy computing !

I'm using OS X 10.11.3 (latest El Capitan) and notes is virtually useless without this fundamental function.

When searching, it brings up the note that contains the word, but then you are left to find the word yourself. What The Fudge! (I tried the abbreviation, but apparently Support's programmers attend church.)

I have some notes resembling small books.

Only after the frustration of copy/pasting to TextEdit, did I discover that I could use the same technique within Notes.

You must search the search results (no bull - it's the world's worst GUI).

After doing the "Search" from the upper right dialog box, you then have to Command ()+F. It will show yet ANOTHER search box with allows you to search for the word within the note's text. As usual, after doing this, you can Command ()+G to find the next occurrence.

Every day that passes, Apple's OS and iOS become more indistinguishable from the nightmares of MS Windows.

(FYI: I had to use Google to spell check "indisquingishable". Apple OS X couldn't do it. It red-underlined it as bad, but it had no alternatives. Google had no problem instantly "Showing results for indistinguishable" correct version. Lately, I get that a lot with my Mac, as if its UI gets more stupid and difficult with each update.)

Use that link to request the feature. 🙂

I agree, I can't believe they got rid of that feature in IOS 9! i want to go back to previous IOS version now! Where did everyone post the request? Does anyone know the link for the Apple page where people are requesting this feature be returned??

Ranting at the users here doesn't do any good, and it's not what this forum is for. Please provide your feedback to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback

The feedback webpage does not give personal reply and the question remains: Why no yellow highlight when searching in Notes section??

I think that we deserve a reply for the reason that this feature is missing in iOS 9 and if there is any possibility Apple to enable this missing feature again!

I hope Apple will give some feedback on this issue...

Apple does not participate here, as these are user-to-user technical support forums. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a reply from Apple....

I agree, I wish this feature was available. It was so helpful.

I'll submit a request for it to come back as well.

I posted it earlier in this thread.

Thank you for this work around at least 🙂

2017 now: This does not seem to work. I have OS High Sierra. I get the box in the corner but it just disappears after I type and enter the info.
