Add the Search Icon or add a shortcut.

Hi,

I'm a beta user so I didn't know about this change ending up in the GA version. As soon as this had landed in the beta, I gave feedback stating my displeasure but it seems it was not enough.
As screens tend to get bigger and bigger, it's harder to reach to the top of the screen to perform the search (at least for me).

So here's my suggestion: leave the search bar at the top as it is now and let those people with longer fingers tap into it and search right away.
But please also let me customize the bottom tab bar and allow me to add the search icon back. This icon's only purpose would be to put the focus into the search bar so it's easier to activate. Please :)

Hey @1P_Dave i was very clear because i knew it would be used as an excuse. If some users complained about search icon experience that’s fine, let them use the top bar. For everyone else make the bottom user configurable. If you do that everyone win. Thank for you answering my question, I’m incredibly disappointed to find out that instead of finding a solution to make both use cases work it was decided only make one work. It shows a complete lack of awareness and disconnect from the users. My very first comment on this discussion suggested this, now you have multiple suggesting it.

I encourage 1P to listen to users who provide suggestions not just the people who complain about wha they don’t like.

Thank you for the feedback, I've shared your post with the team.

In iPadOS version 8.10.56 when you click HELP ---> Getting Started you are taken to a web page support.1password.com. The first screen capture shows the Home screen with the side bar open.

The image displays the Search function button below Watchtower. In 8.10.56 there is no Search button! There is a search icon on top of the screen.

Your documentation team should keep screen inages in synch with reality.

Is there any update here? No only is this experience severely worse, it’s also started to crash much more when using search, especially when using from the Watchtower tab as opposed to the Item or Home tabs.

It’s wild to have three separately searches in three separate locations. It’s just super confusing also to have multiple search and I’ve found myself thinking wait which tab did I search for X item on? And then inevitable clicking into the wrong one.

That’s why I’ve try to exclusively use the Watchtower tab for search because the tab is useless otherwise. But it crashes sometimes when 1/ clicking search bar, 2/ when clicking into a result, 3/ when going back from a result back to search, or when 4/ closing search. I’ve sent your team a diagnostic report.

What are we thinking @1P_Dave? I’m sure enough time has passed for this feedback to have been reviewed.

@lysander

Thank you for catching that! I've opened an issue with our documentation team to update the images in that support article. 🙂

Thanks again for the feedback! The team will take your suggestions and comments into account when continuing to iterate on the search feature in 1Password for iOS in the future.

@birchmeier I don't know if you had read the latest blog post: https://blog.1password.com/product-update-improvements-and-features/
1P thinks, moving search to the top is "much easier to search quickly" and it does not sound like this would be changed again, sadly
