global search engine (-> searching for keyword in EVERY document)
you can do that on the pc (-> pdf xchange viewer) or on mac (spotlight search): if you enter a keyword it gives you a list of every page your word appears on, which is an incredible feature for learning with e.g. your universties pdfs.
goodnotes offers you the chance to look for a word within ONE pdf file, but there's no global search engine - which I believe is a feature a lot of people would appreciate!!
(no other ipad app has this, so be the first ;) )

Searching in all notebooks with one keyword an once

Yes this is exactly what is needed. Having separate notebooks to divide up projects is really helpful but adding the facility to search all of them would be a killer addition. For instance you could use a key phrase like "urgent todo" or UTD in the margin of any note book against any project and then generate a todo list trawled from all projects and notebooks by searching for UTD and with the handwriting index feature of goodnotes you could even just hand write UTD and it would almost certainly find it. That really would be awesome

As I Heard there will be a new Spotlight search on iOS9 Allowing to Index a lot of Things, Could also be an Option to Index the PDFs in Order to find them on Spotlight! Please add a Feature like this!!

PLEASE add this feature.
It would be VERY helpful to search for a textphrase I know that I entered in one of my Goodnotes documents, but I can't remember which document it was.
Right now I have to open every individual document and start the search until I finally find what I was searching for. -

Yes please! even the ability to search every category folder for a pdf name would be helpful. Right now i think you can only search within a category for a pdf.. but a global search would be fantastic

I use GoodNotes to read and highlight journal articles for study. I file each article under folders but can't often remember which folder I felt was most relevant. Even the ability to search just the notebook title would be helpful.

It is very important. I have a lot of organization to bookmarks.

At the top of the bookshelf would be a search bubble. Type a key word into it and all the documents appear which contain text, bookmarks (for handwritten notes), or table of contents.
I take a lot of handwritten class notes. After every class I add bookmarks to label the content of each page, so it makes it easier to reference my notes when I need to. It would be awesomely efficient if there was a global search field where I could search all my classes at once for the same keyword, rather than visually searching the bookmarks one document at a time.

A search over all notebooks is needed...

I think there is big room for improving searching.
First it would be good to enable sarching for all documents.
Also, it would be good to be able to search through annotations
* by their content: this would require OCR for the handwritten text and an index of the text highlighted with the marker
* by their amount: Show pages (or areas in pages) which have been annotated. This listing could be sorted by order of apearance in the document or density (a large amount of annotations together or a large area covered by annotations)
