How does searching work? I search on an IP address like "10.8.0.10" and get crazy results

I have the same issue when searching for a domain. I think having a dot in the search throws it out and gives me results as if the '.' was an 'OR'.

Can anyone from 1Password comment please?

Hi @JamesHenderson / @jasimon9:

I wasn't immediately able to replicate this on our beta release. We're continuing to make improvements to search. If you'd like, give the beta a try and see if that improves your state of play. Let me know!

Use 1Password beta releases

Hi @Jack_P_1P how risky is using the beta? How long before it is likely released as production?

Hi @JamesHenderson:

Our beta releases go through the same QA process as the production builds do. Many of us internally use the beta or nightly releases on a daily basis.

this is still not working for me in 8.9.4

Hi @JamesHenderson:

Thanks for following up. Are you able to share of an example of where this isn't returning results as expected. Be sure to not share any personal details here. You can also send a screenshot to us directly via email support+forum@1password.com. If you do, include your username JamesHenderson and a link to this thread: https://1password.community/discussion/131955/how-does-searching-work-i-search-on-an-ip-address-like-10-8-0-10-and-get-crazy-results#latest

Let me know!

done via email - thanks.

Thanks, I've located your reply. Someone will be with you as soon as possible.

For anyone else tearing their hair out over this, I have just found out that it works correctly with 'find' (⌥⌘F) but not search.

No clue why and also bemused that there is both a search and a find. What's that all about?

edit: Ignore that, 'find' does not look in all fields :/ - so even weirder that it exists (to me).

I received an official survey asking about 1Password a few days ago. One of the questions was 'why did you like 1PW'. The answers included something like 'I like the fact I can store all this extras info'. ...but what's the point if you cannot search it properly?

Hi @JamesHenderson,

Appreciate you sharing your findings with the community. Your original observation is also our current working theory, that . in a search string splits it into additional search queries. Hopefully we'll be able to share some updates about this in the future.

Regarding search behaviour, we do have an ongoing internal discussion about the current search vs. find options, so I'll share your feedback there.

Thanks for your insight on these subjects!
