Search no longer searches Notes

Hi @SamB3T

Have you tried our Find search? This can be done by opening 1Password and pressing CTRL + ALT + F

I believe this is the functionality that you are looking for. In 1Password 8 we updated the search feature to be a little different than it was in 1Password 7. Please give Find a try and let me know if that helps.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Taylor, this key combo does seem to do what I'm after.
IMO this seems a little redundant from a UI perspective, as there's a clear and obvious search bar that should be sufficient without having to use a seperate key combo. Personally my feedback on this feature is I don't need or want multiple search methods. The Ctrl Enter result would be ideal for just hitting Enter, if my wording makes sense.

Aside from this, I'd like to keep this thread open for the Notes not being searched, this does not work with either search method. Cheers.

+1 on searching notes. Organizing years' worth of security is an ongoing challenge. We need thorough comprehensive tools find stuff!

Hello @mitchr,

Thanks so much for your +1. This tool does exist through the Find search option and can be used with the Ctrl + Alt + F shortcut, as mentioned above. I'm happy to pass this feedback along to the Product team for their consideration when making improvements to search functionality. 👍

1Pass doesn't seem to search Notes content anymore when using the search bar.

Actually I have found the opposite to be true FWIW - I did some testing today (before posting on this related thread: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/669472/#Comment_669472) and found Search does search the content of notes and all other fields successfully; the ctl+alt+f function (find) doesn't - it seems only capable of searching the item names and the username fields - definitely doesn't search inside secure notes, nor URL fields, nor note fields in log on items - at least on my Windows 10 Desktop App (8.9.10).

Thanks for your response, @Mycenius.

As mentioned it seems that a search or find (Ctrl + Alt + F) only locates items with the matching string in the item name, user name, and only the first line of a notes field. It was discovered that if the term searched for is located elsewhere in the item, (password field or further down in a note) Show all matching results Ctrl + Enter will locate the related items.

An issue has been opened internally with the Development team to investigate. We appreciate your feedback and additional testing here.

Great - Thanks @ag_mike_d - will be good if that is resolved to make 'Find' fully functional (although as I posted elsewhere still feel this whole new v8 approach to Search and Find functions is somewhat counterintuitive and a little against the flow of how most other applications normally deploy these)... 🙂

Thanks again, @Mycenius - We appreciate the feedback!

Today I searched for a simple string and the Search Bar found it in 1 Login and 2 Notes. The Find function came up empty.
What is the exact usage of the Search Bar vs the Find function? Please clarify.
Thanks.
