Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I'm searching a certain thing in a long, long list (like I have everything I could possibly need in my grocery list so I just have to click on it in case) and use the search function to find 'coffee' and then I have to scroll through the whole list since the screen doesn't jump to that position. (eos android 15, fairphone5)

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the screen to jump to the position where the first hit is found and maybe even to jump to other hits by clicking a button.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start by tracing the Android Notes search flow and the list view it searches. Confirm how the first matching item is identified, then verify that a search result brings it into view and assess whether navigation between additional matches is in scope. Done means the requested search navigation works on long notes lists, including the reported Android setup.
