Ability to search across all notes in Notes / Callout Database, regardless of Database Section

[rDesign]

I would like to be able to search for notes across all Sections of my Notes Database. Sometimes I know that I have created a note in my Note Database, but I am uncertain of which section of the database it is in -- or I may have misfiled it in the wrong database section.

 

Currently the search box in the Notes Manager or the Callout database only searches within each selected Section of the database; There is not an option to search across ALL notes in the Callout / Notes database.

 

Using the Database filter *kind of* works this way, but when use Add Filter to search for something I end up with a bunch of Filters in non-alphabetical order as they're just listed in the order created.

Agree with this.

 

I've just been working out what exactly the "database filter" does, and all it does is apply a search term to all notes & sections. It's not clear why it's not just another search box - the value of having pre-set "filters" seems limited, unless they can do something more sophisticated than a simple text search.
