   OK. I've archived all my historical notes by year back to 2021.   
      
   No difference unfortunately.   
      
   I wonder if the fact that I use tags extensively is not helping. They   
   are super useful and would really miss them if I can't use them.   
      
   Is there an alternative Notes app I can try that allows tagging notes to   
   multiple topics?
