Description

### What
I am not sure there is a way (or at least an obvious way) to navigate through the search results within a note in the Mac app. When I search in the search bar, all the matching notes show up. Within each note, I can see the relative location of the search results highlighted in the scroll bar area, but I have to manually scroll within the note to see them.

### Why
This exists in the web app. There are arrows in the bottom right corner that will navigate through all the matches within a note. I believe this was the relevant issue: https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/issues/983

### How
This is already implemented in the web app.

Research direction

Inspect the macOS app's search results and note view, then compare the existing web-app behavior described in issue 983. The work is done when arrows let users move through every match within the selected note, matching the web app's navigation behavior.
