How to search password in archive in 1Password 8 on macOS?

The search functionality seems can only search passwords outside Archive. Is there a way to search passwords in the archive in 1Password 8 on macOS?


1Password Version: 8.7.0

I also like that archived items don't appear in the main Search. It makes total sense.

Yeah, this is a real problem. When a project is no longer active I archive all the logins since I don't need them showing up on a regular basis. But when that client comes around again I need to bring them all back. I have 2700 items in my archive and there's no way to search through them. Sort, filter, sort again, try to remember when it was created, sort again... that's crazy. I think it would be better to go back to 1P 7 where the search was more robust until this is fixed.

So it's super easy to go back to 1P 7 and the search is awesome again. Click on Archive, search within archive... ah... useable! It actually reminds me of a lot of missing features in 8. I don't think 8 is really forward progress but a stripped down version which isn't really as useful for me.

It would be great to get the search within Archive back again, please.

Hi @AlexLogvynovskiy,

Thanks for taking the time to let us know this is important to you, I've added your feedback to our internal tracker. 👍🏻

I've done the same for you, @calebcuster. In the meantime, the example you mentioned might be an opportunity to explore collections: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

If you try it out, let me know how it goes! Likewise if either of you have any questions. 🙂

Adding my +1 here - please add the search back to the archives. It's impossible to know if I accidentally archived a login because it's hard to find logins there.

Andrew, we also need the ability to use search within the Archive. Perhaps an advanced search or toggle to include archives?
