Search finds notes/files, but the match previews can give the impression that it finds parts of notes. This can be confusing when individual previews seem not to match the whole search. It may be worthwhile to state more prominently that Search's unit of results is the file, and to explain the previews and their interface.

I will need to confirm how much of this is intentional, and how much of this is something that is a bug report/something we will fix.

Relevant recent discussion in which someone very familiar with the app seems to have had the misunderstanding in question, and a team member explains the file-oriented nature of Search: https://discord.com/channels/971812665527783454/1267597062552289322/1267972584360640552 (and they conclude the docs could use clarification).
