Description

When defining smart folders, it would be beneficial to specify a string that appears in the text area of an entry as part of the search criteria.

As an alternative, the ability to save a search from the search field as a smart folder could be useful.

This is a known bug. Couple of notes... it will work if the note doesn't contain any new lines. But if the note contains newlines then it fails to work. I think this is some sort of bug in the underlying coredata frameworks, and I haven't yet had much time to find a workaround.

for me it is very important to fix this bug. moreover it concerns the phylosophy behind the note in Mori, that for me is a bit obscure. i started using an outliner two months ago, with omnioutliner, later i switched to Mori. I was used to the omnioutlier notes, that are quite different from Mori notes.
about Mori notes :
on one side i think Mori says to me: "hey, trust my notes panel! I give you a bigger place than the others outliners where to place your contents, i give all the text edit capabilities of text formatting. i'm a three panel outliners, so in the source view you organize your contents, in the entries view you create your entries and in the notes view you add content to your entries"

on the other side i consider that, at the moment, i can't print my entries with their notes and if a note contains more than a paragraph i'm not sure that its content will be find by the Mori search function and by Spotlight.

finally the note panel seems very important in Mori balance but it still suffer from important bugs or lacks

closed in Mori 1.4. There is now a search option for "Entire Entry" and that will search through the entire text content of your entries very quickly. It's using the same search mechansim (and search syntax) that toolbar searches use.
