The Archive is great but it would be helpful to have the option to do a global search across non-archived and archived notes.  
One could still make a distinction e.g. show first search results in non-archived notes.  
Thanks

Came across this issue today. Tried an `@archive` search operator but it didn’t work. I specifically have to go into `Archive` and remember to do `cmd+F` because `Cmd+shift+F` will eject the notes list out of the Archive section.

I’d like to see an `@archive` operator implemented to make searching the Archive a faster operation.
