On Android, there is an “All Notes”, “Alle Notizen” section. This is missing on Desktop (Mac). Especially when wanting to search in all notes, this is essential. I have to search in each notebook now, if I’m not sure, where I put it or I only use one notebook for ease of use.

Joplin version: 1.0.179  
Platform: Mac OS  
OS specifcs: 10.12.6

Apart from search and the missing all notes, Joplin is awesome in combination with Syncthing.

Welcome to the forum.

I’m not a developer, just a user.

Search will search all notes, it is not limited to the notebook you are in.

Also, for your information, there is already an enhancement request on GitHub for _All Notes_.

It has been there a while but it is still open.
