I don’t know which version they added this, because it used to be impossible to find any folders through searching.
It can be now although it is only available by Spotlight not including the search inside the app.
Very interesting that you posted this. I had just written the following and was considering if it was worth posting to MPU. I’ll go ahead and post it here in response to what you just wrote.
Are you using Apple Notes to draft blog articles?
What if your writing app could do all of the following?
Offer rich formatting; collapsible headers for outlining; checklists; tables; and inline math. Record audio, transcribe meetings or phone calls, sketch diagrams, and convert handwriting to text. With Apple Intelligence, edit and proof your work—all within the app. Link notes, build a master linked dashboard, tag and organize content, create Smart Folders, collaborate in real time, and export to PDF, Pages, or Markdown (coming this fall). The app syncs across all your devices and integrates seamlessly into your workflow. And the best part? It’s completely free.
I’m experimenting with using Apple Notes to draft blog articles. It’s too early to determine if this is a viable solution, but I’ll give it a try for a while. Apple Notes is surprisingly capable. Once I’m done writing, I post the articles to my blog, open the article in Apple Pages, save it to the published folder, and create a PDF version that I upload to DEVONthink.

I start with Apple Notes and even finish there because most of my articles are short. But I also export to plain text with attachments every time. The best thing of Apple Notes is the UX that allows me to capture my sudden ideas or thoughts and simply write instead of seriously write a masterpiece with various formats…
If I need to write much longer like an academic paper or having a visual portfolio, I may end up in other apps like Pages and iA Writer.
Pages is great because it is not totally equivalent to Microsoft Word. It allows structural writing with table of contents with screen views, and good enough but above basic publishing tools if needed.
