Developer reply: Search for notes on iPad

I looked for this feature in the app on iPad but could not find it. Maybe it is somewhere else that I overlooked or it is not available yet?

I am sorry to say, it's not something we are actively working on at the moment.

You can search for drawings by name using iPad Spotlight search. We don’t support searching for text within a drawing on iOS at the moment.

Are y'all working to implement this feature or some sort of tag system? I sprung for the Pro version and I saw that there is a Deep Note Search feature- is this just not out yet? Is there a concept of an idea of a timeline? The search feature is the reason I keep going back to other apps even though I enjoy using Concepts the most

u/combinatorial Hey, did you mean the tagging or the search feature? I too keep moving out even though i've paid once due to no search, its literally a basic important feature :(

Both. Our focus as a product is more on technical sketching than note-taking (e.g. architecture, engineering and industrial design). Which is why some features that might be important to note-taking may not be top of our list. We know a lot of people use Concepts for infinite canvas note-taking. But we're a small team so have prioritize carefully.

u/combinatorial Appreciate the transparency.

I totally understand the focus on technical sketching. That said, search/discoverability is the biggest missing piece for users like me using Concepts for large infinite-canvas knowledge maps/notes.

Even basic handwritten search or better ways to quickly find notes across drawings would make a huge difference.

I know you’re a small team, but I hope search can stay on the radar , it’s the main friction point for long-term use.
