You can turn that off in the settings.

Including the notes within the search scope has a significant use in its own right, but I suspect that by far the majority of searches would not involve interest in the dive notes but would rather focus on dives with a specific buddy or at a dive site or using specific suit or dive mode (e.g. OC, CCR).

Yes. Go to Settings, scroll down to "Filter preferences" and turn off inclusion of the notes

No it does not. Since the dive list is ordered by date, that seemed unnecessary. Is there a scenario that I'm missing?

Thanks. And yes, please keep testing and report any oddities that you find.
