When using previous versions of the iOS Notes app, I could search for something and first it would list all of the notes containing that item, then when I selected a note, it would scroll through to find the item in the note and would highlight it.

The new Notes app doesn't do this! It finds notes containing the item, but doesn't locate the item within a note! This is a real pain because I have a lot of long notes and don't want to slowly scroll them searching again for something I've already searched for!

I'll load iOS 9.0.1 and see if this is fixed, but I'm not betting on it, and I'm not upgrading my iPhone until it works again, because I use Notes A LOT!
 
Upgraded to iOS 9.0.1 (this is on my iPad) and Notes still doesn't highlight results within a note. Sigh... No highlight, no upgrade for my iPhone. :(

Same here after apgrade to 9.2 with a new iPad Air 2 that went with 9.1. The search in notes don't work.
