Another thing that helps with searchability is that the notebook is a
physical object.  Obviously you can use "post-it flags" and the index
pages of the notebook, but less obviously, you naturally remember where
things are. Often you’ll think of a note and just automatically open the
page with surprising dexterity. I used bujos for a decent amount of
time, and pen-and-paper note-taking for way longer, and I don’t recall
ever having to search for long to find my any note. Same with margin
notes in books etc.
