Feature Request: Scoped Searches

Hello ​@jguillet! 👋

Thank you for the post! You can do this with search filters in the 1Password app: Search filters

Click a vault in the sidebar, then press CTRL-F. You’ll see a search filter added to the search bar scoping search to just that vault:

Search doesn’t include archived items but you can use the Find tool there instead:

1. Click Archive in the sidebar. 
2. Open the Find tool from the top of your list of archived items:

I hope that helps!

Ok, I’ll test that out. How do I do this in the iOS app?

​@jguillet 

Thanks for the reply. In the 1Password for iOS app:

1. Tap the search field and then type in =. 
2. Choose Vaults.
3. Choose the vault you’d like to search in.
4. Enter a space and then type in your search term.

I hope that helps!

Typing “=” doesn’t work on Mac or browser extensions.

However, I did discover a better way to do this that works for Windows and Mac that I didn’t see before. When you select one of the vaults, there’s a small search icon under the Search bar that scopes the search to just the selected vault:

This does exactly what I want. I’d like to see this behavior universal across the Windows/Mac/IOS apps and browser extensions.

To clarify, I was responding to your question about how to use search filters in 1Password for iOS. 

When it comes to the desktop app, please see my original reply here. You can find how to use search filters in all of the 1Password apps in our guide: Search in the 1Password app to find what you need

Search filters aren’t currently available in 1Password in the browser and I’ve filed a feature request to have our team look into that for the future. Thank you for the feedback!
