How do I search inside a note?

How do I search within a note? I have some long notes and it is painful to find anything in them. I can’t even use the normal browser page search. (BTW, overloading a basic browser feature like that is a real no-no).

Hi. You can just use the all notes search, then open that note. You do need to leave the note to activate the search, but its not too inconvenient. Within the note, the little blue tabs along the right side show the relative locations of the results, and you can click on them to jump to the results.
You can limit the number of notes in the results by including one or more tags in the search pattern. Note: in the Simplenote web app, this is case-sensitive. To search for tag “Foo”, you must specify “tag:Foo”.

Thanks. I didn’t know about the blue dots. They are not mentioned in help and they are tiny. Kind of a hidden feature.
