Add the Search Icon or add a shortcut.

I am incredibly confused on why the search icon would be removed. It is so awkward to click on the search bar. Why I have to search is because autofill fails which is becoming increasingly common or app dev didn’t register a domain name with their app no there are no associations. There is more but regardless the ability to initiate and clear a search is basic functionality. I’d love to see the search icon brought back another option can be to make a user preference on what the double tap on items does, e.g. brings back to the items page or brings back to the items page and opens a search. This preference could be turned off by default. Please add this.

Hello folks, 

Thanks again for all of the feedback. I thought that I would provide an update in this thread. Based on all of the feedback received from users in the community, social media, support, and other places the team has added the ability to immediately focus the search bar by pulling down on the Home, Items, and Watchtower screens when using 1Password for iOS. 

You can also immediately launch and focus search by long-pressing on the 1Password icon on your home screen and then tapping Search. 

The team will continue to iterate and test other approaches for search in the future and we do appreciate all of the feedback, even if specific suggestions/requests in this thread aren't implemented at this time.

@Manaburner as a terrible work around you can reinstall to make it come back and than just never close the app

@1P_Davecan we have a double tap on the items icon place the cursor on the search bar and highlight any existing text? This would effectively solve the issue and wouldn’t require adding in the search icon.

woot woot, I see a new feature has been added to iOS app, similar to iOS itself where swiping down opens the search view, this is a great improvement. I've used it once so far so hard to say if there are opportunities for improvement. that said thank you for work so far!

Folks, I came back to say that I hope 1Password product designers has taken a long hard look at this mistake and at themselves. See how in the many Apple keynote demos from WWDC25, the Search icon has a prominent and elevated place in the new liquid glass tab bar? Compared to 1Password hiding away this eminent capability?

Such incredible disappointment in the 1Password team. PULL DOWN IS TO REFRESH, not to search!
