Disappointed by Recent Search Update – Milanote Is Now a Frustration, Not a Tool
I've been a long-time user of Milanote and have relied on it to organize an extensive archive of boards for my creative and professional work. Unfortunately, the recent update to the search functionality has drastically undermined its usefulness, especially for users managing large databases.
Previously, I could simply type the name of a board and access it instantly, regardless of when I last viewed or edited it. That intuitive, global search was one of Milanote’s strongest features. Now, the search is inexplicably limited to recently viewed or edited content. As a result, trying to find a specific board has become a slow, frustrating experience.
Instead of prioritizing boards that match the search phrase, the app now returns a disorganized list of notes, links, and individual documents that happen to contain the search term. This might make sense for some workflows, but for users who structure their work around board names, it renders search practically useless.
This change feels like a major step backward. It breaks a core part of the app's UX and severely limits its scalability. Milanote is no longer viable as a central hub for organizing a large, long-term body of work. I sincerely hope the developers reconsider this decision or at least offer a toggle for classic global board search.
Until then, I’ll be looking into alternatives that still respect the importance of fast, predictable access to content.
