Search inconsistency in 1Password 8

Hi @esquared:

Thanks for bringing this up. The suggestions displayed below the search bar use a slightly different searching method than "Show all matching items", so you may see different results occasionally.

If that's true, then you'll have to expect my next question: Why? Search is search, and both should use the same methods, and doing anything else is simply a recipe for confusion at best, and frustration at worst. Never make the user try to understand the differentiation in the implementation - that's not the job of users.

I have 2 macs. I love the old search so much better on my old system. On v8 it's now multiple steps and sometimes I need to search more than once. It's something I do many times a day. It feels like a big step backwards. It's not about Electron or the current design, that's fine. It's the search functionality.
1. Start typing to search
2. See a limited dropdown list that contains limited results(only up to 8)
3. Click command+return or go at the bottom of the list
4. Select the item I want or.. search again if the results are too broad. I won't know until I see the final results.
The old method:
1. Start typing until I see a list filtered enough by current typing
2. Select the item I want.

I don't like V8 search at all. I agree with what has been said. Put it back to how it was or give us an option to restore the old functionality. I want an instant as-I-type search function and match what I type exactly. No soft matching, because then everything comes back for the terms I often search for.

Whoever designed the new search 'experience' has probably never ever used search in one of the previous 1PW versions.

I hate the new search experience in v8. Prefer the auto filter option we had before, as it was quick and easy.
