Search query not editable

+1 for this. I often will search for one thing, and then need to search for something similar, only changing 1 word of the search. This was super handy in 1Password 7.

For example, I would search for to find my login to their database. Then I might need to search for to find their encryption key. Or some other variant. With hundreds of clients in our shared vaults, and each having dozens of entries, I'm searching all the time. Search is much more tedious in v8 than it was in v7.

Hi @ruudwelten and @flybynight27,

I appreciate the feedback about this and will share it with the team. We currently have an open feature request for the option to show search results in the item list instead of the drop down menu, and while I can't make any promises, I have added proxy votes on behalf of both of you.

As you mentioned, ⌘+Enter is currently the best solution for this, but I can absolutely understanding wanting to change the default behaviour. Let me know if you folks have any questions. 🙂

@andrew_l_1P Thanks for the reply. I just noticed that my last reply got a little mangled… probably some markup issue with the angle brackets on my part. My bad for not previewing before I post. Too late to edit, but I'll see if I can update for clarity here.

First I might search for "ClientName DatabaseName" to find my login to their database, and then I would search for "ClientName Enc…" to search for the entry for their encryption key.
In 1P7, keeping that ClientName in the search/filter box and just editing the last part of the search made it much faster than what I have to do now. Thanks!

Hi @flybynight27,

Appreciate the clarification, I can definitely see how this would be useful and will share these notes with the team! The context helps us better understand how people are using 1Password and that in turn allows us to best advocate for the changes you'd like to see, so thank you. 💪🏻

The new search dropdown actually creates more work for me to locate what I am looking for. I absolutely can't stand this new feature. I hope that 1Password will provide a solution to exclude the dropdown function in the search field. Otherwise, I will have to find a new password manager so I spend more time working and less time searching 1Password.

They implemented a solution already but it's well hidden behind CTRL + ALT + F or CMD + OPT + F. It works like the superior search of 1PW7. Only its placement is really strange directly next to the sort button. I would like to see an option to replace the cumbersome new search with this one. It should be the default.

yes so much more work to find the right entry and beware if you by accident open the wrong item.

Hi @burntbearings,

Thanks for your feedback on the topic, I've added a proxy vote on your behalf as well.

@viswiz's suggestion may also be of interest to you, thanks for providing that. 🙂

+1 where can we vote to have an option to bring back the version 7 search function? I'll wait a little longer, but I'll be going back to previous version if it's not implemented soon.

I agree with @wiswiz ... the hidden "Find" behavior should be default for search.
