It’s handy to be able to quickly open notes via a link using x-callback-urls; however, there are times when I’d like to jump to specific text in a note and its not always a header.

The [x-callback-url /open-note](https://bear.app/faq/x-callback-url-scheme-documentation/#open-note) allows you to specify a header to highlight and there’s a /search x-callback-url to search across all notes, but there isn’t an easy way to search _within_ a note via x-callback-url.

Could we have a `search` parameter on `/open-note` that performs a search within the target note.

For example…

`bear://x-callback-url/open-note?id=959...C9A3&search=Search+phrase`

would open the note with the given ID and perform a search for “Search phrase” inside the note. This would offer behavior similar to [text fragment links](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Text_fragments), allowing you to use a callback to jump to arbitrary text (albeit the first instance) within a Bear note.
