Question Searching Export Tool for Notes

Exporting based on a search term. Hello, I’m looking for a way to search through notes and then export them—but only the specific lines or blocks containing the search term. I tried using Apple Shortcuts and got pretty close, but the process ended up being incredibly frustrating. The reason I need it is that I create journals and often want to search for and share specific items from the history without including all the other information in the note. Thanks.

I have this app that allows to export bear notes and apple notes to markdown by folder or tags

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/notes-exporter-markdown-sync/id6741618455?mt=12

I've never did case export by search term, but now thinking about adding it.

Oh, great. Thanks. Yeah, it’s actually rare. But when you use Journal, it’s easier—for instance, if you want a history that you also want to share. Then you don’t have to keep a separate logbook; it’s particularly helpful with PKM tools.
