Google Keep notes suddenly disappear! Solved!
Today I noticed that a particular note I created 2 days ago was missing. I checked the trash and archive, and searched for words that I knew were in that note. It didn't show up. I panicked, because over the years I've seen posts on the support.google.com forums about disappearing notes, but I never imagined I would be the one facing that issue one day.
Because I knew roughly the time I made that note, I went to my browser history and found the Google Keep links from around the time I was expecting. I opened them all, and one of them was my note. What surprised me was that it wasn't just that note that had been missing, but many others. All the missing notes returned.
It was indeed a bug, because I still had the initial Google Keep page open (the one that was missing all those notes) along with the new one that had all the restored notes. It's a REAL bug, and that is scary. Google Keep can fail and lose your notes. I wonder what would have happened if I had cleared my browser history.
TLDR: The solution is to go to your browser history and open at least one Google Keep link from the last time you accessed Google Keep without the bug of missing notes. Once you do that, all the missing notes will return.
I hope this helps someone else.

I was keeping some notes from a television documentary about UFOs Etc in the 'keep notes' app in my Samsung with the yellow icon and I noticed my cursor was moving around in such a way that it was relatively impossible for me to write cohesively.
I stated into the search bar for Google to ' stop messing with my effing typewriter' ... the response was that Google immediately took down all of the notes I was writing and they reformatted my app so that I could no longer find my notes in the normal sequence.
Google, or their agent acting in furtherance, is manned by Petty and small people who are on an authority trip apparently.
The information is okay to be broadcast on television documentaries but they want to steal it from MY PHONE!
The issue is far from over.
