#716 search in notes

[Nyugi]

There many Feature Requests about improving the notes feature. I just want to add one more thing. Despite the documented limitation that "There is no way to search through notes" (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Notes), it would be very useful to search in notes too.
Before I found FreeMind I used TreePad Lite (not a mind-mapping app), which is very handy at navigating through and reorganizing nodes, and has a very strong searching function. But FreeMind's node encryption function is so important to me, that I want to switch to it.

I strongly support this request - a major part of important information in my mindmaps is in the Notes, so being able to search all text including Notes is essential. Searching in the .mm file with a third-party editor and locating the result back in FreeMind is rather clumsy for a frequently required operation.

Hi!

We have a school project where we decided to solve this ticket. We (me and Yorirou) will be active in this topic in the next few weeks, so if you have any good idea then don't be shy!

(If someone started working on it, then please send me a message.)

+1. Keep text in notes as any other text in the map.

This thread should be closed: searching in notes is supported in 1.01.

Also, the support page http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Note still mentions searching is not possible.
