Missing Note (Accidentally Moved = Disappeared)

ragarner
I was trying to move a PDF attached to an entry, and accidentally dragged a note instead. Now, I cannot find the note. Can anyone explain what happened, and how I might recover the note, which was quite extensive?

OSX El Capitan 10.11.5 Beta (15F18c)
Zotero 4.0.29.5

    have you tried searching for the note in "All fields and Tags" format with "My Library" selected on the left?

    Thank you! I had looked for it all over, and I had searched, but I had not searched precisely that way.

    My problem: I tested losing a note after I found this one, but couldn't lose it outside the original folder. But I had moved it not when in a folder, but in a search. Then I tried that and I reproduced what I had done before, and it was just orphaned in My Library.

    So: moving it orphaned it, in my case outside the folder. A search solved, as did looking for the note alphabetically in My Library.

    Thanks again, Adam!
