Hi, Longtime 1Password user since 2010 but first time posting here :) I recently upgraded to 1P 8 on both my Windows and Mac and couldn't help but notice the search bar doesn't seem to search the "notes" section for logins now. This has worked fine in 1P7. Has anyone else noticed this? Can this feature be added back please? Thanks! 1Password Version: 8.7.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Win 10 Pro 21H2

Hey @cmr011 ! I just created a test entry with some text in the notes section. When trying to search for this text, it is found... 🤔 I'm using 8.8.0-104 beta build on Windows 11. https://releases.1password.com/windows/beta/ Maybe you could give latest beta build a try?

Maybe another case of 1PW8's substandard search implementation that doesn't support substring/partial word search? Does it still work if you search for "adu" instead of "badum"?

Hey @cmr011, thanks for reaching out. Searching in 1Password 8 doesn't work the same way as it did in 1Password 7. If you're searching for partial words as suggested above, then your search may not yield any results. I can certainly understand how this could be disruptive to someone's workflow. We currently have an internal issue raised where I'll be sure to add your voice to further highlight user interest in this feature. Let me know if you have any additional questions or feedback. Thanks! Ali ref: IDEA-I-527

Hello @"ali.hazime" , viswiz , and DenalB , Thanks a lot for your prompt response. I did another test and partial letters or numbers do not return search results anymore. It used to work in 1P7 and still works in the iOS app. As @"ali.hazime" mentioned, it is very disruptive for me as I frequently search for last couple of digits or partial words to find the correct entry and it’s impossible to go through the nearly 2000 items I have. I just realized that this issue has been brought up elsewhere and sorry for the repetition here. I’d appreciate if this can be reintroduced in a future version promptly and I also appreciate the team’s openness to engage with users. Thanks again!

Ok thanks. I'll stick with version 7 which has all the features I need.

Hello again @maxinegerb,

Thanks for your clarification. Changing this setting on your PC will only affect the version of 1Password 8 installed on that device.

Beta versions of 1Password 8 for iOS are handled through Testflight. Those instructions can be found here under iOS: Use 1Password beta releases

It should be noted that we’ve had an overwhelming interest in our beta of 1Password for iOS and at this time the beta program is filled to capacity. We do not have an ETA on seats being open. Due to unanticipated complexities, we’ve paused our plan to periodically remove inactive testers. We would encourage others who have access to 1Password 8 via TestFlight, but are not actively using it, to try releasing their seat using these instructions:
1. Launch the TestFlight app on your iOS device
2. Tap on 1Password 8
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap ‘Stop Testing’

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

My problem is with 1Password 8 on the iPhone. Will changing the settings on my PC help with that?

Hello @maxinegerb,

Thanks for your message and sorry for the troubles you've encountered with version 8 and the release channel.

You're welcome to continue using version 7 for as long as it suits your needs, but version 8 is the way forward. We are no longer developing 1Password 7, but we'll be continuing with critical security updates.

With regard to your troubles when visiting the Settings (Ctrl + Comma) > Advanced** tab in 1Password 8, the Release channel option should appear as below:

If after reinstalling 1Password 8 for Windows this option is still not visible, could you please provide a screenshot of what you are seeing in the Advanced tab? When sending a screenshot, please be sure to redact any personal or private information. Thank you.

Hello @Niekie, sorry for the delay in response and that you are seeing a larger number of results when searching and IP address as compared to version 7. I've passed these comments along to the team so they can look into making further improvements where possible. We appreciate this feedback!

I just downloaded version 8 and had the same trouble with searching. When I go to settings => advanced, there is no "release channel" option. I'm going to continue using version 7, and I hope you will continue to support it!

This is not working as expected.

Search for an IP. V7 has 4 results, V8 has 41 results, most if which has no matches on the search term.

Hi folks! We have a further update to share.

Substring search matching has now made it to the latest Production build of 1Password. To take advantage of this functionality, update to version 8.9.4 or newer (we actually just now released 8.9.5, with an additional unrelated improvement), and you will be good to go.

I hope this comes as welcome news. And as always, we're happy to have your feedback!

Hello @goodmaninc13,

Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear this has been a deal breaker for you and that you've decided to return to version 7. I've included your thoughts and a +1 for you in the feature request we're tracking with the product team.
