  Hi,

  I have recently upgraded to Simplenote 2.23.2 on MacOS and found that using “Find in note” does exactly the same as “Search Notes…”.

  This does not feel right to me.

  Is is the expected behaviour?

  @loicebertrand You’re right. Currently, they’re acting identically. We’re aiming to enhance this to avoid any confusion. We appreciate you pointing this out!

  @staff-fred Does this mean that there is currently no way to search text within a given note?

  Yes it does. This has always been the case on other platforms, like iOS. You just use the global search, then open the desired note in the results list. If you use tags, you can include “tag:foo” on the search line to only see results with the tag.

  Thanks @johnswift37. The lack of such a possibility for Simplenote 2.23.2 on MacOS is really a limitation.
