All notes search: can't determine what notebook a note is from

[t0dd]

Desktop, Fedora Linux, Joplin 3.6.15

When I do a search within the box at the top of a notebook, it actually searches all notebooks, which is confusing in and of itself. But also …

I searched for a word and two notes come up. They are named the same, but live in two different notebooks. I need to make a change to one of them. But I can't tell which one is which because no notebook context is given. The (i) thingy tells me nothing and when I click on a note while in search mode, no notebook is highlighted in notebook hierarchy. So … something needs to be improved here.

The solution I used was to rename one, get out of the search thing, figure out which one was which, make my changes, and then rename it back.

Goto Anything will also bring up both, but give more context. But there should be more context in the search within notebook that is really search within all notebooks box.

Thanks. -t

Rather than clicking the (i), you can see the notebook name in the blue box beneath the title. This is hidden when selecting a note within a notebook, but it reappears when using the search or when you are in the 'All notes' notebook:

Indeed you are correct. And it was there right in front of me and my brain edited it away.
