How can I find a missing note on my iPad and iPhone?

I noticed yesterday that a very important Note on my iPhone disappeared. It is not in my recently deleted. Today I opened Notes on my iPad. When I first opened the app the note was there but when I touched on it the note disappeared. I logged into my iCloud account and it’s not there. I’ve searched multiple words that were in the note but can’t find it. Any ideas on how to get it back?? I desperately need it!!

I appreciate the link but the lost Note is not in the recently deleted. Is there any way to restore Notes back to a certain date where I could recapture the missing note?

No, that is Apple supported document on how to recover notes if you were syncing to icloiud.

if you were syncing them to your mail account ask your email provider or look at their help site.
