Search bullet text ONLY or the notes field ONLY

Feature requests
1

I would like the ability to search ONLY the notes field or ONLY bullet text. Oftentimes, I want to search only the notes field; the matches contained in bullet text become extraneous/distracting. The opposite is also problematic. I want the search results to contain only matches found in bullet text; the matches contained in notes become extraneous/distracting.

@calsi,has:note SearchTerm finds SearchTerm within the notes field, but, at the same time, it finds SearchTerm within bullet text that happens to contain a note. Not what I want when looking for SearchTerm that exists ONLY in notes.

-has:note SearchTerm does indeed find SearchTerm only in bullet text, but I do want to include bullets containing notes in my search, as long as the notes do not contain SearchTerm. Confused yet? I’m getting there. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Try has:note AND searchterm. This will at least trim the list. Seemed to work for me but I don’t use that many notes. Not perfect but better. Unless searchterm is in node and note.
