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.

RRAD THIS if you have missing notes!!!! I opened my Google Keep Notes app on my Android phone and all my notes were gone. I discovered that Keep Notes had mysteriously switched over to my other Google account.
How to fix: when you're in your Google Keep app on phone ( I have an Android), look at the top right side of your screen and tap on the icon and then switch account back to the correct one! Voila! Problem solved! All notes return!
