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?

hi - adding a +1 to searching within Archives - being able to toggle or advanced-search to include/exclude from results would be super helpful. My main use case now for archiving is logins I still want a record of but don't want popping up within browser autofill options.

+1. I have hundreds of items in the archive. Not being able to search them is a massive pain

Hi @3rdparty and @codeknight,

Thanks for your feedback on this topic. I agree that a toggle to include archived entries is a good idea and have added votes on behalf of both of you to our internal tracker on the topic. 🙂

I registered just to post my feedback. I like the archived functionality and want to use it for old credit cards (i have around 30 of these so far as a serial churner).

The lack of a search functionality makes it very difficult to use the archive for use cases like this. It would be great if a search functionality is added for the archive, because as is, it's not very useful.

I also have to express the necessity of this topic as well. I'm constantly archiving logins from websites that - at least temporarily - are no longer relevant and should not be suggested to me on a regular basis.
But if that changes, it's currently impossible to find the right login among the mass of archived logins.

No matter if it's some kind of buried search, a toggle or whatever: Somehow the archive has to be searchable.

And of course, this should be possible on all platforms.

Thank you for adding your voice to the discussion as well. I'm noted your request. 🙂

i would guess the easy way to do this is to implement search modifiers common in many email programs. such as (in the search bar) SomeLogin in:archives or SomeLogin in:PersonalVault

Hi @robotlemon,

Happy to share we do have an open feature request to bring search pills to 1Password 8. I can't make any promises but I certainly see the benefits and would welcome the addition myself! I'll add your voice to our internal tracker on the topic, let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
