Search both task names and notes by default

Suggest making the search function more google-like. I tried to search for a word within a note and couldn't find it. Had to select that I wanted to search there.

I would say Searching is one of the most important features in the app. Lose the advanced tab and search everything by deafult. Cheers.

Thanks for your feedback!

Just thought I'd also mention that it's possible to specifically search notes from the regular search box (without using the advanced form). For example:

noteContains:phone

Hope this helps!

+1 for Stuart's suggestion: I'd like to search into titles *and* notes by default. :)
Maybe you could add a preference item for this, if you think people would generally prefer to search only into the title.

also: when I search the forum "Ideas" for "search notes", the result list is empty, strange...

YES YES YES - *most* of the time I am searching for something in the notes.

I know about that noteContains, but I'm not typing that into my phone!!!

Yes, this is a good idea, but agree with norz that it should be a settings option so those who need/prefer it the way it is now won't be blindsided.
