+1 for vimwiki; all plain text, with some light organization sprinkled on top. I've gone the OneNote/Evernote/GoodNotes route and keep coming back to vimwiki. If I could find a non-kludgy way to get it on iOS, my grail will have been found.

You don't even need grep, as vimwiki has built-in search:

":VWS /pattern/

    Search for /pattern/ in all files of current wiki.

    To display all matches use |:lopen| command.

    To display next match use |:lnext| command.

    To display previous match use |:lprevious| command."

i have a folder of plain text files that i use as my notes (my understanding is that vimwiki stores them the same way); i store them in a folder in my dropbox and use 1Writer as the iOS interface to them; it works very well!

I'm also searching for a good solution on iOS.

My current kludgy method is to upload the files to S3 and hit my tiny flask server via WorkflowApp to read the contents. It's not great, but achieves what I need it to do.
