Search within encrypted notes

Hi everybody. Back after some time to try Bear again and I’m super positively surprised I just came on time for wider encryption in place.
Quick question though… Does search include the content of the encrypted notes (once unlocked ofc)? Or rather decrypted titles only?
Thanks

For encrypted notes, only the title is searchable. Unlocking a note only decrypts that specific one, so we can’t search the content of the others.

We’re working on improving search for encrypted notes, but balancing security and performance makes it a challenging task :slight_smile:

Thanks for replying. Looking forward to improvements there, sooner or later :grin: Enjoying the new version so far.
Ps. Maybe check how proton or tutanota did that for mails? Just from top of my head, as references…
