[Android] Search notebooks in Share function

Features
1

Hi Devs,
I use Joplin for over a year and the number of notebooks significantly increased since then.
Now if I want it share something on Android to Joplin (for example share a webpage from browser) it opens this long list of notebooks and it is getting harder and harder to find the right notebook in the list.

I think havig a search field would help a lot and improved UX.

Once this was discussed in context of webclipper as well but the topic got closed. Search Box when adding a web page using Web Clipper and the mobile app - #19 by Medullitus

How about to reanimate this idea?

Search notebooks by name in Share feature.

Same thing for me... By my side even without the share function.

Note exactly the answer to your question but it can helps:

If you want to find a notebook wich name you know,
e.g. "ELECTRICITE"

you can do this in the note search field:
image
"notebook:NAME OF THE NOTEBOOK" will display all the notes into this notebook

And then you can click there :

But I agree, it's a road movie !

Another way in order to be sure a notebook exists:

And you escape after that.

yes this work on desktop, but if you do the same on Android and you search notebook:electric* you find a set of notes that are into the ELECTRIC notebook, But if you want to open a new note in the ELECTRIC notebook I find it impossible.

It seems there is really no way to open a new note there.
