Greetings!
I've been using the app for a while now and i find it's missing 2 small things that would actually help people a lot, or at least me.
I tend to create very long notes, in fact, that's the reason why i dont use google keep, the number of characters per note they allow is too small for me.
One of the features i was proposing is allowing to grab the scroll bar so we can go to the bottom without having to swipe the screen dozens of times.
The other is to add the ability to search inside notes. I know we can already search, but it only tells which note has what we searched for. In my case where i use very long texts, it takes a long time to find a specific word inside a note because i can't use the search feature inside it.
I know these are probably niche problems since most people don't usually write a lot in their notes but it woild still be nice to see the features implemented.
Thanks!

OmniNotes is a fantastic app. On long notes, I would also find it extremely useful to be able to search for text. This is especially important when one merges several dozens of notes in a single one. Thank you.

Reaching bottom of a long note isn't easy. There should be a way to do that, like in Colornote which I've been using since long, there's a edit icon beside the hamburger menu tapping on which takes one to the bottom while if that is not wanted then one can scroll to any position and tap [double for colornote] there to start editing. Though, tapping edit icon again without exiting a note takes one to the previous editing position. I've many long notes and this makes it so easy.

There's an alternative by using a scroll bar, as mentioned above

and the search feature feature requested by @nikkopt is very popular as I can see so many duplicates of it in the issues. And I was going to request it too but I'm late to the party. And I wanted to explain it in my words but @nikkopt just stole the exact feeling I had, so I won't do that again.

This might be helpful.

just quoting as it's been described very accurately in so much less words that I like it:

I know we can already search, but it only tells which note has what we searched for. In my case where i use very long texts, it takes a long time to find a specific word inside a note because i can't use the search feature inside it.
