Perform Search Online
When I perform a search, it appears that it only searches content I have downloaded.
As such, I frequently have to switch to a browser, perform a search, switch back to the app, and download what I need.
It would be so much nicer if I could just specify I wanted to perform an online search, then, if I found what I wanted, I could just click to download (much like clicking on one of my notes that refers to content that isn't downloaded yet.)
Now implemented

Also, you should be able to click a box to tell it to search on the page. Now I know someone will say, "But it already autosearches on the page, you get a popup after you type it in asking if you want to search on the page." Ok, but if you then come back later and want to do the same search again, and you click the "previous search" link, it will not search on the page but will do a full search. You have to actually type the search term out again. Just give us a box to click so that we can just click the box then tap the previous search term to find it on the page. :)

This would be great, but there should be a setting to search online content. At times when I'm on a metered connection but want to search what's on my phone or surface, I want the option.
