Flip side - Google Keep.
To search for a note you have to press the search box twice. First time you just get types of things - if you want to search free text you have to press again.
I'd argue that UI encourages using tags over search.
It's honestly my only major annoyance about Google Keep.
- cunthorpe 5y agoReminds me of Google Maps. Me: I want a coffee shop. Maps: Ok let me zoom out and show you coffee shops in a 20km radius. So you have to zoom back in and “Search this area”. But hey the Starbucks next door is not shown, it’s maddening. Google’s core business is now ads, not search.

- Tenoke 5y agoIsn't keep an abandoned project? I use it daily and it doesn't seem to have gotten an update in years (if ever since launch). >It's honestly my only major annoyance about Google Keep. I definitely have more annoyances - it can be slow, it has only minimum features, you can't change the ordering etc.
- TeMPOraL 5y ago> it doesn't seem to have gotten an update in years (if ever since launch) That's probably why it doesn't suck as badly as most other Google products. > you can't change the ordering etc. Of notes? Of checkbox items? In both cases: you most definitely can. I just did that, both in the browser and in the app.
- Tenoke 5y ago>Of notes? Of checkbox items? In both cases: you most definitely can. I just did that, both in the browser and in the app. You can reorder them one by one but there's no option to then re-order by last edited or created or ascending or anything. Is there?
- TeMPOraL 5y agoSorry, I thought you meant reordering as in manual ordering. No, as far as I can tell, there is no way to sort or automatically reorder notes or lists by anything.
- jarofgreen 5y agoGuess I'm happy with the minimal features :-) basic notes, syncs across devices, I use a Google account anyway and my notes appear in Google takeout for backup/export purposes.
- ferdowsi 5y agoYou don't need to press the search box twice. Focusing the search box renders a tag view, but once you start typing it will search free text.
- jarofgreen 5y agoWorks on desktops, thanks! Think I was confused because on tablets you still have to pass twice to get the virtual keyboard to come up.
- topicseed 5y agoMine is the mix up and slow transition from "Reminders" to "Tasks". And how my assistant can't create tasks in my Google Calendar. Drives me nuts.
