Tap the 🔍 icon on the editor toolbar (iOS) or press ⌘F (macOS), type the word and use the arrows to step through matches. Each match jumps the recording to the moment it was written.

macOS
1. In notes view, bring up Search using the keyboard shortcut ⌘F. 2. Type in the word(s) you are looking for. 3. Use the > and < icons to navigate through the search results.
