Could someone help me with the below:
Search on handwritten notes on my Mac app isn't working. I’ve already tried reindexing, toggling indexing, restarting the app/Mac, etc.. If I write a new word on Mac, sometimes only that new word becomes searchable, nothing else, and yes, its fully synced in the cloud button in both devices.

Both ipad and mac also use the same language for handwriting detection, have tried to toggle that to re-index, still the search fails on mac.

The same word is searchable on ipad though, but not on mac.
Mac version: 7.0.50 (latest)

Hey, wanted to ask people who actually use Goodnotes Whiteboard seriously.

I only take notes on infinite canvas on conceptsApp, mostly math / CSE type stuff. I’m currently on Concepts, and I really like the canvas + pen feel, but the lack of proper search is becoming a big pain.

I’m considering switching to Goodnotes mainly because of search, but I keep seeing posts about Whiteboard limits and that’s making me hesitate.

For people using it heavily:

• How much can one whiteboard realistically hold before it starts becoming a problem?
• Is it okay for dense handwritten technical notes / diagrams / maps/code snippets?
• Do you feel the limit is manageable, or is it annoying enough that it changes how you take notes?

Also one more issue: search on my Mac app is behaving really weirdly. I’ve already tried reindexing, toggling indexing, restarting the app/Mac, etc. It works randomly. If I write a new word on Mac, sometimes only that new word becomes searchable, almost like the full handwriting index from iCloud isn’t syncing properly.

Has anyone else faced that?

Would really appreciate real-world experiences before I migrate everything.
