Better search engine! For instance, when you put in a note number, shouldn't
the note with that number be the first one, as it's a 100% hit? Instead of
way down there? It also doesn't support partial word search. I think they
are using Text option. They should just use Google search or something
rather than their own lousy searching algorithm.
