Search Returns to Spatial Context

Retrieval should bring a person back to the place where a thought sits among other thoughts.

The 1.0 work expanded navigation in two directions. Saved Viewpoints made a Board's scale and position reusable, while on-canvas Portals created visible routes to other Boards. These Portals are deliberate Board links, not invisible relationships and not places where Notes can be dropped for transfer.

The following search change used the same spatial model. Results gained a Board identity, object type, target identity, and focus bounds. A search can match recognized Note text or the names of Groups, Areas, and Portal destinations, then switch Boards and move the camera to the relevant context. Notes inside collapsed Groups still participate.

This kept retrieval consistent with the product concept. Search does not extract a result into a separate document or generate an answer. It brings the user back to the place where the thought sits among other thoughts.
