Find in a note or a PDF
Find a word in the note or PDF you have open, and step from one place it appears to the next.
- Press ⌘F. The find bar opens with the selected word in it, or the word you searched for last.
- Type the word you want. Every place it appears is marked, and the bar says which match you are on, out of how many.
- Go to the next or previous match with the arrows in the bar, or press ⌘G or ⇧⌘G. The note scrolls to each one in turn.
- Tap ⓘ, then tap Find in Note. With a keyboard attached, you can press ⌘F instead.
- Type the word you want. Every place it appears is marked, and the bar says which match you are on, out of how many.
- Go to the next or previous match with the arrows in the bar. The note scrolls each match into the part of the screen you can see — above the keyboard, the find bar and the note's own buttons.
After a search
When you open a note from a search — NotaBene's own or Spotlight's — the find bar is already open with your word in it. It opens once for each search, not again for every note you click through afterward; close it when you're done.
While a search is active, every place the word appears is marked in blue in the note you're reading, and in the notes you open after it. The marks are only drawn on screen and go away when the search ends. An attachment that holds the word, such as a scan or a PDF, is washed blue with a magnifier on it.
