ArborDrop 0 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I used to be able to use CTRL + F to search my encrypted Note (once it was unlocked) yet it doesn't seem to be possible now. Version 10.9.10-win-ddl-public (2439) Editor: v119.1.15375 Service: v1.30.2 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,066 Posted March 16, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted March 16, 2021 If the search index would include the content of encrypted notes (better the encrypted text), I would regard it as a pretty serious breach of encryption. The search index is outside of the encrypted part, which means it would hold part of what was encrypted in the „open“ section. A good encryption must maintain zero knowledge outside of the encrypted segment. No search index, no hints, no nothing. Legacy had a local search index, which probably was regarded as less critical than the server based search on v10. Link to comment
ArborDrop 0 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Yes I totally get that @PinkElephant, but that is why I said "Once It was unlock" . In the past I have have been able to unlock my encrypted note, then click CTRL+F and enter my term and it would find the term in the note. I'm not expecting any returned results using the general search. Link to comment
