Searching through an ArrayList
<blockquote>
  <p>Implement a method</p>

<pre><code>public void search (String searchString) { }
</code></pre>
  
  <p>to iterate through the notes ArrayList until it
  finds a note that contains the searchString.
  It should then print either the item found or
  the message "String not found".</p>
</blockquote>

<p>So far, I have:</p>

<pre><code>import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;

<p>But it is not working, and I am not able to work it out.  </p>
