Solution #2 worked for me! Thank you so much!!! I’ve been searching for a solution on and off for months.
none of these fix my problem. Using a iphone 8s. Moving notes back and forth to different folders as well as turning of icloud for notes only temporarily soulves the problem, but then it comes back in less than a day.
The siri and suggestion option resulted in none of my notes (0) being searchable.
Come on apple. This is a replacement phone sent me to fix the note issue!
