What issue do you have?
using ID:<notebook>
within search bar is unreliable, with a very high failure rate.
Joplin KB Article: Searching | Joplin
Method:
Use notebook content menu, selecting "Copy notebook ID" to get notebook ID (Success)
Create search term in Search Input Box (Success)
No Results return (Failure)
Screenshots
You are copying a notebook id, not a note id.
From the searching docs:
Operator

Example
id:
Filter by note ID
id:9cbc1b4f242043a9b8a50627508bccd5 return a note with the specified id
I'm pretty sure that menu item is supplied by a plugin, not the default app?

@Spere
Could you develop your need about searching a notebook ID?
You can search a notebook using the notebook's name, like notebook:"my own notebook"
.

You are 100% correct, just missed that, thank you for picking that out and mentioning it.
-- And, whose idea was it anyway to make zeros and Oh's look so darn similar in code?

Thank you for the note, the goal is to create a live clickable link.
From a workflow perspective, it is far less cycles to click a link than it is to copy a string, paste it in the search bar, confirm the selection, etc.
Another advantage of the ID is that is would in theory bypass the issue of a name change where the search criteria would break if a name change had occurred in the above scenario -- where a text search string was left in one note to assist in searching for a notebook.
