Search/Find within Encrypted Notes Not working

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.

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.
