How do you search within a note in the latest update (Windows 10)? Ctl-F doesn't do it

Windows 10 version quesiton (though I sync and use on iPad and iPhone also).  Aargh, Evernote says they have "improved" search.  Well that's definitely not the case for me.  I have used EN extensively for several years and generally it works ok,  but the latest versions are just making it worse.  The latest search seems to allow search only through all notes and notebooks.  I have some very long notes, and very frequently I want to find something with the note that I am working on.  In Windows, CTL-F has done that, but now that is gone.  The latest search, shortcut Alt-Ctl-F now searches through everything, which is not what I want.  It will search in my current note, but if there are other notes with the search term it switches to one of the other notes.  This sucks!!!!  Am I missing something, is there a simple way to just search within the note that I a working on???

The keyboard shorcuts in EN are very context sensitive. You need to be editing the note - ie click your cursor in the note and ensure you have the editing toolbar visible. Then ctrl-F works fine, and using the three dots you can also search and replace if you want to.
