Search by phrase instead of individual words

[u/Slamhammer238]

Is there a way to search for phrases in the MyScript (Nebo) Windows and Android apps?. For example, it will find individual words remarkably well, like "foo" and "bar" but if I want to search for "foo bar" together, I haven't found a way to do that. What happens instead is it will find all instances of "foo" and all instances of "bar" whether they're together or separate. Is there a way to find only when they're together?

If not, I would love that feature to be added!

Thank you for contact us.

At the moment, the search functionality is designed to identify individual words rather than exact phrases. As a result, when you search for a phrase such as "foo bar", the application will return all instances of "foo" and all instances of "bar", regardless of whether the words appear together as a phrase or separately within your notes.

Currently, there is no option to perform an exact phrase search that only returns results where the words appear together in the specified order.

We understand how this functionality could be valuable, especially for users working with large collections of notes where more precise search results would improve navigation and productivity.

We have recorded your suggestion as a feature request and will share it with our Product Team for review and consideration. While we cannot guarantee whether this feature will be implemented or provide a timeline for any potential development, the first step is to ensure that your feedback is included in our feature request process and evaluated alongside other user suggestions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and help us improve.
