I have this problem too

When searching multiple words in samsung notes, it shows every instance of each word seperately, for instance, searching "5 weeks" shows every case of the number 5 which is obviously not very useful. How can I search for an exact phrase? Quotation marks don't work.

@PointlessSignin: I've had a look into this for you, and if you're using search function in Samsung Notes (magnifying glass in the top right of an open note) and you want to search for a phrase, don't put a space between the words. So, using your example, search for '5weeks' as opposed to '5 weeks' and this will only show instances of the 2 words/numbers together, rather than each time they occur separately. I hope this helps.
