Search field doesn't search [username] field (Linux & Mac)

Hi @Lantern:

Thanks for asking! We're still fine tuning how search behaves, and I was able to replicate this behavior. In the meantime, would searching for wendy.appleseed+subscribe work for you?

Let me know!

Jack

Sorry, no "wendy ..." on any platform for me!

Hi @Lantern:

Just to clarify, I used wendy.appleseed as an example, similar to how you used "johndoe+subscribe". Just to confirm, searching for johndoe+subscribe does not return any results?

My goal was to see all the records that contain the substring "+subscribe" within the [username] field ... so I'm actually NOT searching the full email address.

I get zero results on the desktops (Mac and Linux for me) searching for "+subscribe" and I get a 8 or 9 results in iOS.

Three examples below on LInux/Mac and two work, one doesn't:
* if I put in the full email address (say "mailto:johndoe+subscribe@domain.com" , then I get the expected results.

* LIkewise, if I put "johndoe+subscribe" and truncate it there, the search still works.
* It's only if I look for "+subscribe" (the substring within the username field that does NOT start at the beginning of the username string) that it fails.

But again, on ios, in all three examples above work fine.

Sadly it's a well known issue of 1PW8 that searching for substrings isn't supported any longer. Search now only works from the beginning of a word. For me it's pretty much useless now and the answers by the support staff doesn't sound like it's fixed any time soon. For me this is a show stopper.

Hi @Lantern and @viswiz:

Thanks for mentioning this. As my colleague Dom has noted elsewhere, we're using a new search engine written to better handle international languages and allow for search to behave more consistently across languages and character sets. We're always trying to improve 1Password, and there are future plans to revisit this and hopefully get this behaving closer to how it is in 1Password 7.

Just as a follow up here, I've checked internally, and I have filed an issue for not being able to search for +subscribe and get the results as you're expecting. Thanks for your patience, and keep an eye out for future updates!

Thanks, not urgent, I just think it should allow substring searches in that field on desktop as it does on iOS. Thanks for the followup
