5. In the search text box, enter text that you have handwritten that has been recognized in real-time recognition notes. 
6. Tap the “Search” icon next to the search text box.
7. When the search results are shown, you can single-tap anywhere in the result sections with your pen or finger to quickly navigate to the pages where the search text is located. 

Search by File

You can also limit search results to a specific file format by doing the following:

6. To switch to another file format, simply tap it with your pen or finger.
7. In the search text box, enter the file name of the file you are looking for. It can be an incomplete file name, which means you can enter letters or words contained within the file name. 
8. Tap the “Search” icon next to the search text box. It will bring up all the relevant files if you entered an incomplete file name. (Step 7 is optional, which means you can choose not to enter anything in the search text box.)

7. In the search text box, enter the keyword you are looking for. It can be an incomplete keyword, which means you can enter letters contained within in the keyword or misspell it.
