Everything in search bar in Saved Searches?

Does the "Everything" option in the search bar not work in Saved Searches? I have saved search which finds items with child notes that contain a certain bit of text. When I put that bit of text into the search bar with "Everything" selected, nothing is found. It works fine when I'm in my Library.

Quick search bar will only search through items that match your saved search conditions. If your saved search only returns top-level items (not their child notes), then quick search does not check text within those items' child notes.

You can edit your saved search and check "Include parent and child attachments on matching items" - this will include child items in your saved search results. Then, when you type something in the search bar, relevant child notes should be included.

You can also add a condition "Item Type" - "is" - "Note" if you want to exclude all items that are not notes.

Thanks. I did have that checked.

The issue is related to my other post from the same day.

If the "show only top-level items" box is checked, any hits in notes (or other child items, I assume) don't show up because they get hidden. I didn't not expect that it would look like there were no hits.
