Title: Fix search highlight navigation in note list view

What is this?

This pull request addresses an issue in the note-taking app where users were unable to navigate to the first search highlight when opening a note. The motivation behind this fix is to improve the user experience by ensuring that the search functionality works as expected, allowing users to quickly find and navigate to the search term within the note.

Changes

Code Changes:

1. In lib/editors/search.dart:

• Function: SearchInfo.
  • Patch Description: Modified the constructor to initialize currentMatch to 0 if there are any matches, ensuring that the app correctly navigates to the first highlight when a note is opened.
  • Code Change:

    - return SearchInfo(numMatches: matches.length);
    + return SearchInfo(numMatches: matches.length, currentMatch: matches.isNotEmpty ? 0: 0);

2. In lib/folder_views/note_tile.dart:

• Function: noteTapped.
  • Patch Description: Modified the function call to pass searchTerm, ensuring the tap action correctly navigates to the first occurrence of the search term within the note.
  • Code Change:

    - onTap: () => noteTapped(note),
    + onTap: () => noteTapped(note, searchTerm),

Documentation & Comments

• However, a brief comment near the modification in SearchInfo explaining the necessity of currentMatch initialization could enhance clarity:

  // Initialize currentMatch to 0 to navigate to the first highlight
