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.
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.
It has been for over 20 years now, since October 2000.

I definitely have more annoyances - it can be slow, it has only minimum features, you can't change the ordering etc.
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.
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?
