It could happen that notes with the "Regular" or "Low" priority are not fully visible. You can bring them to the top of other windows by clicking on any visible part of the sticky note. If nothing is visible, use the "Show" button in the Notes Manager or use the Ctrl + Alt + S combination to show all notes.

Type a word or phrase into the Find field and select options for the current search.
You can search in all notes or you can exclude minimized and locked notes from the search.
