Apple Notes has a nifty feature that allows you to search for the note to prepend or append to when you share content to it on iOS:

It would be great if Bear could provide the same feature, instead of limiting itself to showing the most recent notes, as that list quickly becomes unwieldy and therefore of very limited use.

This is something that would be useful to me also.

Big plus one for me.

Another plus one. Right now I just add to Notes, then have to go through “untagged” and append or prepend manually. It would be nice to do this on one move.

@trix180 @matteo  
[This feature I use ALL THE TIME.](https://bear.app/faq/ios-app-extension/) ❤ ❤ ❤

I’m also +1 this ======\> is adding a search bar at the top so I can find the note quickly that I want to add to.

I did a mediocre job of mocking it up.

🙏 🥺 🙏
