+*Claude Commit Message*
+Fix search to match substrings instead of exact text
+
+The matches() function was using strict equality (===) to compare note
+text against the search term, so only notes whose full text was identical
+to the term would be returned. Switch to String.prototype.includes() so
+that search finds every note containing the term anywhere in its text,
+which is what the feature is supposed to do.
