  On iOS, Simplenote lets you do a search at the top level and then tap into a note and the search term is highlighted, the number of results are shown, the locations within the note are highlighted on the right side, and little arrows allow you to step between the found results. All of those are great features. But if you tap into the note to add or remove text at one result, the search goes away. You then have to return to the top level and tap back into the note to restore the search, and are placed back at the top of the note so you need to step through the results again if you’re trying to do things with each instance.

  I would love to have the current search remain active while in the note, or even better to be able to perform searches at the note level.

  Thanks!
