App to search Samsung notes?

[jtfwTX]

Merry Christmas all-

So I have Pixel Search and sesame search. Neither will search within Samsung Notes when I try to look for something.

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this without having to manually open the Notes app and search within it?

do you think searching with Bixby might work? it's a perfectly helpful on-device assistant.

Thank you. I tried it with Gemini and it worked! I don't use Bixby though.

Thank you. I tried it with Google assistant and it worked! I don't use Bixby though.

out of curiosity, was it Assistant or Gemini that you used?

Are these handwritten notes? Your not going to find anything that's going to be able to search handwriting.

Are you giving these notes titles? We could imagine the app being able to do a deep search of itself but at most, at best, an outside app might be able to see note names but nothing as deep as content.

What are these notes? Maybe we can help you find another app to store these things or a work around for how to find/access whatever some other way. Describe a scenario so that we understand.


Tell us what you find and we'll offer more advice.

Just any typed notes in Samsung notes. None are handwritten.

I'll make one called hospital numbers and it'll have all different extensions for places in my hospital like MRI
Another for allowance and all the times, anmounts and dates I've given allowance
I have like 40 different ones on various topics
Church members
Movies I want to watch
Etc.

So an example is I'd want to find my note that had MRI in it. Couldn't find it until I used Gemini. Prior to this discovery I could only find the specific one by using search in the Notes main section. But that meant remembering I created this in the Samsung notes app and not in an email or Google Keep,etc.

Once a user above suggested Gemini it made it super helpful!

Gemini works for this, or no? When Gemini was mentioned before and you mentioned it, sounded like you were using it and it still wasn't working. In this post you talk as though you switched to Gemini and it is working for you.

Yes when I tried Gemini it did work! But I had to be specific. I couldn't just ask Gemini to search in my phone for "allowance". It said it couldn't do that
When I told Gemini look for it in Notes, then it worked.
