# Searching for a Note

infoodle allows you to search for notes relating to People or Households/Organisations using a couple of different methods. The method you choose will depend on whether you want to view the notes in order to edit a person's profile or export/print them.

**1. Search Note** ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-1KXFW4S1.png)

1. Click **People & Households** or **People & Organisations** on the Navigation bar.
2. Click on **Search Notes**.
3. Click the **Add criteria** button and select the items to filter for your search.
4. Click the **Generate** button. The data will now appear in the area below the search options. Output includes: the person and contact details, with the note on the right, with one line per person.

If you select a line you can edit the person's profile while the search results continue to be displayed.

**2. Report - People-notes** A similar but alternative method is to generate a report based on notes. To do this see: [Reporting on Notes.](/v1/docs/reporting-on-notes)
