Probably an oft-asked question, but once you're reading a note in iOS, can you search within it? All of the guides on the internet just tell you how to search ALL of your notes.

But on the desktop version of Notes, you can search within notes, which is super useful for longer ones:

Sure, you can go to the notes application homepage, search for something, then click on the result and it will take you to the result in the note. This is better than nothing. But it would save a lot of time to be able to search once you're already in the note.

Tap the Share button, then tap the “Find in Note” option on the bottom row.
