Noted requires Python 3

When searching for notes, noted will look in the note content. To only search for notes with certain tags, you can use brackets to express that you want to match tags rather than content. Example:
/[home] stuff
This will match all notes that contain the text "stuff", and has a tag named "home".
You can use the same pattern to exclude tags. Example:
/[home]![completed] stuff
This will match all notes that contain the text "stuff", has a tag named "home", but doesn't have a tag named "completed".
You should be able to automate, import/export your notes as your wish. Noted
provides noted-cli
executable to manage notes from CLI as well*. Example:
$ noted-cli --format json list-note --search stuff
* This feature is currently not a full 1:1 mapping of the capabilities of the TUI. Please refer roadmap for more information.
