iosiphonemacnotes.appsearch
I use Mac's Notes app on my MacBook Air (Mavericks). I can readily search for any specific note just using command – F.
It finds notes containing the string of text either in the title of the note or in the body of the note.
However, when I sync all my notes to my iPhone 5c, I can't find how to search for a particular note in this way. Is it possible?
It appears this solution only works on 10.9 Mavericks…
Select a note, then press ⌘ cmd + F and type your search.
This will not work for 'pinned' notes that have been opened outside of the Notes app.
Try DEVONthink to Go for iOS, paired with one of the DEVONthink family of apps for macOS. It meets all of your criteria: it supports creating and organizing (with tags and hierarchical folders) notes in plain text, markdown, and other formats, as well as PDFs, images, and URL bookmarks. It also has a unique semantic artificial intelligence engine and other features.

Drag down on the home screen (just touch in the middle of the icons and drag down) and the iPhone search box will appear. Searching there will reveal text in notes (in addition to other stuff like song titles)
