Some improvements for notes

[naoliv]

Could we have, if possible:

• a way to search for something inside the notes
• a way to filter the notes (by status (to display only open notes, for example) or by some text (from the previous item))
• a way to sort by the text (we can sort by status, username, or date, but not by the text)

Replying to naoliv:

• a way to search for something inside the notes

You could delete the current notes layer and use menu file search notes

• a way to filter the notes (by status (to display only open notes, for example)

you could set osm.notes.daysClosed to 0 (also adjustable in the connection preferences)

You could delete the current notes layer and use menu file search notes

It downloads notes from the whole world.
Try with cruz and you will see what happens.
