Question

Search multiple word tag or vault

Following https://1password.community/discussion/132072/feature-request-select-tag-within-vault#latest, 1Password's search doesn't appear to be able to handle multiple worded tags and vaults.

Example: I have a vault for passwords for my church 'St John's', some of which are tagged 'production team'

The documentation provided suggest I should be able to use =vault:St John's to query within a vault and =tag:production team, along with a search term.

However, adding this as a search string (manually, or using the keyboard shortcut) shows the below helptext which suggests the space in the vault's name is creating issues and throwing off my search term:

The search then shows no results confirming this:

Using 1Password for Mac 8.10.12 (81012010), on macOS Ventura 13.4.1 (c), on a MacBook M1 Pro.

Hello @arunonesheep! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into issues when using search filters in 1Password 8. I'm having some trouble reproducing the same issue. I've created a vault and tag with the same names that you're using and I see the following when I use the same search filters as you:

Would you be able to post screenshots of the names of your vault (from the sidebar) and the "production team" tag that you created? That will allow me to see if there's something different about how we're naming things. Make sure that nothing sensitive is visible in the screenshots.

Thanks Dave,

It is working as expected - was led astray by the way the search term is rendered while the search terms are being typed out.

I'm glad that things are working now. Let me know if you have any other questions or issues in the future. 🙂
