# Simple note
Simple note is a very "simple" mobile application. Simple note is an application used to jot, take notes and store important write ups.
It has a very nice design, easy to use and most importantly does its job. But after taking time to explore the application, I noticed it is lacking an important feature. 

# Proposal
In a case whereby a user has stored lots of notes, it's difficult to find by just sliding through one by one before they get to the note they are looking for.
The search feature will do a lot of good in this situation. 
The search button should be added to the application. The search feature is used for finding written notes by just typing in some keywords or the title of the particular note. 
More explanation is given below.

# Mockups / Examples
Here's a screenshot of what a search button does:

Before search icon is clicked

> After search icon is clicked, a user typing keywords for his search

**Here's a pictorial illustration below of where the Search icon can be positioned:**

After the search icon is clicked, the keywords for the search will be typed by user and matching notes will appear so the user can pick.

# Benefits and Conclusion
The importance cannot be overemphasized. Users will be able to search for any note at any point in time without stress and frustration.
The application will increase in reliability for users. The feature will give the application a much more improved look.
I hope this suggestion is considered as important.
