Underlining / comments in PDF files are saved directly in this.
Boox devices can also do it in other book formats - but how it works with the transfer, I don't know

OR
For real ebooks, a Kobo Libra (7") or Forma (8", though the extra cost over a Libra would pay for a 10" tablet.) with Calibre and Kobo Utilities. Version 4.23 Calibre if you are using DeDRM with Kindle ebooks until the python 3 port is completed for DeDRM.

Can either of these books do a "convenient global/library-wide search functionality of notes and highlights (in case, for example I know a word or phrase but can't recall where in the book or which book the word/phrase occurred in)."? I know that Kindle can, and it can also do everything else the OP asked for. The only caveat is that in order for the highlights and annotations to be saved seamlessly across all devices, the books must be bought from Amazon, and must be synced, as the annotations are stored in your Kindle cloud.
Highlights and annotations can be saved for books that are sideloaded, but it's a different procedure, and not as seamless - the highlights and annotations are not stored in the actual book. HOWEVER, since you can do a global search of all of your books, if you have a list of the highlights, it is easy to search for the source using your device.
