Search in 1Password 8

Hi @twlatl

We've designed Search to be the way that you find the single particular item you're looking for. That's why pressing Enter with a particular result highlighted (usually the most relevant, at the top) will open one result.

To see the full results of the search, you can press ⌘↩ (Command–Enter) or click "Show all matching items" in the search popover. There, you'll see the details you're looking for.

Give that a try, if you haven't already, and let me know how you find it.

Agreed with twlatl, to enter the two keys ⌘↩ is just a toil, I prefer to "Show all matching items" with just single enter. Every time this irritate me.

I agree to twlatl and toshitaka, the standard behaviour of the search is useless. I even did'nt know about the 2-key search, which should be the default option. When you enter a search with only the return button and would like to redo the search with command-return, the search field is blank and you have to retype the phrase.

1PW8 has a hidden search/find feature that works almost like the far superior search of 1PW7. Use CMD + OPT + F and a new search field just above the item list and next to the search button is revealed. This shows results inline, i. e. omitting the useless popup windows with its relevance filtering. Sadly this search can't be configured to be the default behavior.
The awful usability of 1PW8's search is the main reason I'll stay of 1PW7 for as long as possible.

Thanks for the feedback here folks!

We do have an open feature request to toggle the "Show all matching items" option as the default search behaviour so I'll add your voices to that.

I've also added you to a related request for search terms persisting, @1kPWs.

I apologize for any friction this adds to your use of 1Password and appreciate you all letting me know this is important to you. Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Is there still option to search by title vs. searching by everything? I can't find it as option but maybe just missing it.

Hi @jkereszturi,

While it isn't currently possible to search a specific field, we do have an open feature request to bring this to 1Password 8 so I'll add your voice there. I appreciate you telling us this is important to you, please let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

@viswiz, thanks a lot for the hidden search function. Now I can search fault by fault and not only in the whole collection. Thanks again!

@andrew_l_1P also from my side a +1 for making this search as the default search function.

Funny: Both search function menu entries have the same name and it is not possible to switch the shortcuts via macOS preferences.

Could you name them "Global search" and "Fault search"? Thank you!

Search depends on the highlighted location in the sidebar:

Idea?

@Terylon I've reported translation problem with "Suchen" almost a year ago but Agilebits seems to ignore it...
