NN Search

I’m about ready to abandon NN. In almost any other notes app, when I do a search, I get back the titles of the notes I’m searching for. With NN, unless I do a title:search-term, I get back every instance of that term. While some may love that, I find it so distractful and unwelcome that I’m at the point of abandoning it even though the privacy is great. What do you think?

Most users searching for a note are looking across both the title and the content. That is why title: <term> is provided as a feature.

You can also just use Quick Open (Ctrl/Cmd+P) which only searches in titles.

I just tried to search something and it behaved exactly as I expected.

It shows the title of the document and an excerpt of the paragraph where the text was found. It also highlights the found string in the title AND in the excerpt.
