Google Keep May Finally Get In-Note Search, and Here Is What It Means

07/16/2025 Apps

As a long-time user of note-taking apps, I've always been surprised that Google Keep lacked a feature so basic yet so crucial: the ability to search within a single note. Imagine crafting a detailed project plan or compiling extensive research, only to be forced to scroll endlessly to find that one critical detail. For years, Keep users have voiced this frustration, and it seems their voices are finally being heard. While Keep has a general search function, it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack when you need something specific inside a particular note.

Recently, some tech-savvy folks dug into the latest version of the Google Keep Android app and discovered evidence of a new "Find in note" feature. It appears that this option will be accessible via the three-dot menu within a note, right alongside options like "Delete" and "Make a copy." I think it is a great add to the app.

While the feature isn't fully functional just yet – tapping it currently causes the app to crash – it's a promising sign that Google is actively working on it. It would be amazing if it finally arrives to the app, even because other apps as Apple Notes and Samsung Notes already has this feature for a while.

For those who use Google Keep for long-form content, checklists, or any kind of detailed note-taking, this update could be a game-changer. I think it will be a welcomed feature. The feature can vastly improve the app. I can't wait to see how this develops in future updates.
