1Password isn't searching all the content

I did a search for National Insurance. I got no result. It's a line in an identity card.

Shouldn't 1Password be searching all the contents of the database, and not just the headers or whatever it's searching? My recollection is that the application used to do this.

Thanks.

The current search behaviour troubles me too. I think 1PW should search in all fields in the database like a decent full text search, not only inside some preset fields.

@1P_PeterG I came to post this one as well and it's one of the most glaring design misses in 1PW so far. Please +1000 it for me.

This should be at the top of the priorities for next release. Custom icons are great, but this is core functionality.

PS: @TomWolsky you misspelled insurance in your screenshot, lol. :-)

@TomWolsky @mia in case you haven't heard yet, the nightly update release 80500042 introduced the fix to search items' section titles.

And this is now introduced in the Beta releases, as of version 8.5.0-46, as well!

I hope this is helpful 🙂
