Search function within notes
I notice that in the Notes interface (opened as a sepoarate Web page) the "Find" (CTRL+F) feature of the browser (I use Firefox 3.5.7) cannot be activated. It would be useful to be able to quickly search through Notes, particularly if they are extensive.
Are there plans to do this? BTW - EXCELLENT product. I used to take notes in Word and copy and paste them into a Notes field in Zotero; now I just do it all in Zotero. Well done on establishing a robust and incredibly useful application, and for keeping the price down!

In my experience it makes the workflow smoother to create many small notes, rather than one big one. Create a new note, for each quote, each new theme, each argument in a text. Give each note a meaningful title (=first line of note, starting with page nr)
Then notes are ordered by page. You immediately see which note contains what. No need to read through long notes.
I certainly agree that it is usually better to use small notes, but there are cases when notes could be quite lengthy -- I use them to take notes on lectures and conference papers, so they can be extensive.
