Searching for words, phrases, etc., in "Notes"
I frequently have occasion to look for a person in my file by a phrase or word. For example, I have a memory of someone in my file coming over on the Mayflower, but memory escapes me as to which person it was. How can I search for "Mayflower" (or some such word or phrase) in Notes?
