See first line of the https://releases.1password.com/windows/8.5/ post.

@MrC

=untaggedworks well, thanks.
But =tag:$name (where I replaced 'name' with the name of one of my tags) does not. Is it because I'm on a Mac?
It seems it does not search at all. (even not saying 0 results for…)

I'm able to just start entering tag names in the search area, and they appear, with a tag icon to the left of tags names.

In fact =untagged does not work.
I was confused by the fact that there was no items without tags in my vault.
untagged (without the equal sign) behaves the same.

@parpayoun

Are you selecting the bottom of the search area that says "Show all matching untagged items", or using Cmd+Return to select that? I have 29 items in a test vault, only 1 is tagged. When I enter "=untagged" in the search area, hit Cmd+Return, I get 28 items shown, and a purple header that states "28 results for untagged items".

@MrC

Yes, indeed!
But maybe the terms must be localized in French?

That's what I thought: terminology for extended search is !partially) localized.
After some tests, I found that =untagged should be =sanstag in French.
But can't find the translation for other terms.

If someone from the team read this post, please clean this mess and put the info somewhere accessible.
A better solution would be to have a permanent untagged tag a top of all tags.

@parpayoun – I'm not sure if search filters, like =untagged:, should be translated or not, so I'll pass this information along to the development team for them to take a look at. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Could you let me know if these search filters are working when translated, or if they seem to be only in English?

  • =tag:
  • =category:
  • =vault:
  • =favorite (note the lack of : colon here)
  • =untagged:

This information will be very useful in finding out what's going on. Thanks very much. :)

@GreyM1P

=untagged is actually translated to =sanstag. (capture 001)
It's the only term that works on my system.
No other are valid neither in English or French.

Otherwise, if you type fav in the search field, 1P8 will suggest the Favorites. (capture 002)

@parpayoun – Thanks for getting back to me on that. I've passed that on to the development team for their information. Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help. :)
