So because filtering isn't working I thought I would use search. In the search box at the top of notes I enter
1 John 3:1
Not only does it find the note I am looking for, it also finds another note that does not have 1 John 3:1 anywhere in it. It does have 1 John 2:14 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 2 Peter 3:16 I tried searching for
"1 John 3:1"
because that is how you tell Google to match exactly, but that had no effect. In fact, this note also has a reference to Luke 11:28 and 1 Peter 1:23 so just to test my hypothesis I can find this note for any of the following searches.
2 Peter 11:28
2 Luke 3:16-17
1 Timothy 11:28
