I've created a workflow to find and open Apple/iCloud notes in Notes.app. Get it on Packal and feel free to open issues/make pull requests on GitHub.
 

I decided this should be the default action of alt-enter in the latest version: https://github.com/sballin/alfred-search-notes-app/releases/download/3.6/Search.Notes.alfredworkflow
 
This new version also has the following features:
Show enclosing folder when showing a note Use new note linking format that works on macOS and iOS (macOS >= 14 required) Use new updater script that doesn't require Python 2 (thanks vitorgalvao!) Bug fixes

This is great news, thanks for making this change, this sets my up really well for my 2024 workflow.
Thanks again for the great work.

Glad you like it! What version of the workflow are you using? Can you post the exact result?
 
The newer iOS/macOS Notes apps now have built-in note linking support, so I’m not sure about the future of this feature…

@sballin This workflow changes everything. I'm no longer debating the move from EN to Apple Notes. Thanks so much!

That fixed it!
 
I really appreciate your time and help!

Should fix it if you double click on the block that's called "Create new note" in the workflow diagram and replace the code with this:
on alfred_script(q) try tell application "Notes" -- Create new note from user query tell default account to make new note at default folder with properties {body:"<div><h1>" & q & "</h1></div><div><br></div>"} show first note in default account show first note in default account end tell on error errorMessage number errorNumber display alert "Create Note Error" message (errorNumber as string & ": " & errorMessage & "\n\nInput: " & q) as critical end try end alfred_script

This is great - I hadn't updated in ages so I missed the linking capabilities until now...
 
I love that it can search for Monterey / i(pad)OS 15 hashtags on Big Sur, too.

Weird - it definitely had it before, but it must have gotten unchecked in the upgrade. Problem fixed, thank you for your quick reply!

Do you have "n" set as the keyword for "Opening Files" in Alfred Preferences > Features > File Search?

You could create a new "Run NSAppleScript" action with the following code:
 
on alfred_script(q) tell application "Notes" -- Show user requested note -- Get note id which is first item in q set noteID to text 1 thru ((offset of "?" in q)-1) of q show note id noteID in default account show note id noteID in default account -- Click menu Window -> Float Selected Note tell application "System Events" to tell process "Notes" to click menu item 11 of menu 7 of menu bar 1 end tell end alfred_script  

It works great for me without any issues and without any manual changes to the code. Thanks a LOT! 🙂👍

And I liked the new fallbackCreateNew and fallbackSearchBodies functions -- the second one already made my life easier. 👌

Here is a pre-release version where characters like that should be handled properly: https://github.com/sballin/alfred-search-notes-app/files/6168245/Search.Notes.zip
 
Let me know if you encounter any issues!

I would just like to say what a GODSEND this is for my workflow.
This + Clipboard History for searching icloud link names = insane reference.
 
That simple.

I was talking about the notes:// links you get from doing the alt-enter action on results. If you don't use that feature, everything else should be working as usual.
