For me the ability to search all of my notes for a specific word/phrase is a critical function. I have found that that often times, Evernote does this properly. It finds the searched for word/phrase, highlights it in yellow, and opens the corresponding note directly to the location of the found and highlighted term. The problem is that often times with long notes it does not open to this location. I then have to scroll the note to find the highlighted word/phrase. If the word/phrase occurs more than once in a specific note, finding the next highlighted word/phrase requires more scrolling and searching for a yellow highlight, which isn't too easy to find if the note already has yellow highlighted content.
Evernote does have a search within the a note function that works really well. I found that once the global "Search Notes..." function identifies a specific note that is long and has multiple occurrences of the searched for word/phrase, I can than open that note, than press Command-F, and the number of found instances will appear in an extremely useful search box. Arrows also appear allowing me to easily advance or return to each occurrences.
I suggest that Evernote consider changing the global search function to open each note to automatically display this extremely useful search box. This saves the user from having to press Command-F in every note that the global search finds, and adds the functionality of displaying how many instances were found in the note, and the advance or return arrows.
Thanks for your consideration for fixing a bug and improving the search functionality.
