> do folks review their notes at all?

Review as in look at every single one of them from time to time? No.

But I do review them as in it's my first stop in finding something. It's my personal DDG for repetitive queries (vaguely remembering a quote, needing a reminder of some code syntax, or what happened in a book I've read 3 years ago and kinda liked). All my notes are oriented towards what my future self might actually want to find: most important things at the top, going in more details if I scroll down, sometimes adding unnecessary words just because future self might search for them in hopes of reaching that note, etc.

I'm firmly of an opinion that if the search bar in your notes app isn't the most crucial part of your workflow, you're doing something wrong and wasting your time.
