+1 for clearing the search field automatically AND auto cursor placement into search field.

Thanks for the excellent post. I'm going to file an issue for the keyboard (spacing) and make a suggestion about the search field behaviors.

ref: dev/core/core#18007

ag_mike_d When navigating back to the search results screen, I'd expect to just see the full screen of results:

But in the latest beta (8.9.6) it seems to automatically trigger focus in the search field, which feels unexpected, as this isn't what happens in most other iOS apps (and it also has some odd white space and janky delay before the keyboard jumps up):

If the text in the search box was also selected, ready for typing a new search term, I could see the value in this, but currently it doesn't highlight the text, so you have to tap the 'x' to clear the field anyway, meaning there is no benefit in already focusing the field and covering some of the results with the keyboard. The only benefit would be if you wanted to add to your previous search term, but I doubt this is a very common action.

So may I suggest either:
* Also highlight the text in the auto-focused search box (like the Twitter app does) - this would solve the OP's query
* Don't auto-focus the search box (like the iOS Mail app)

Hello again jcwacky - thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Glad to hear this is working for you now.

Sorry for any confusion on my part, but related to this thread, is this where you'd expect to see the search field cleared when navigating back to the search results? If you'd expect some other behaviour, please let us know and we'd be happy to pass your thoughts along to the team.

ag_mike_d Thanks for looking into this and getting back to me. The issue of the search field not getting focus after clearing it with the x button does indeed appear to be fixed in the latest beta (8.9.6).

Not sure I'm a fan of the new behaviour that gives the search field focus when navigating back to the results screen though, feels unexpected and not overly helpful.

Hi folks - thanks for your replies! I've cast votes on your behalf for this feature request.

@mattsowyo, regarding your question about a way to cast votes yourself for feature requests, this is not possible. We file requests/suggestions internally for the product team. Should you have a new request or would like us to advocate for you on a current feature request, just let know here in the 1Password Support Community or through an email to support@1Password.com and we'll be happy to provide the details to the team!

Hello jcwacky,

Sorry for the delay and thanks for reporting this behaviour. We've previously filed issue to fix this issue for the cursor not defaulting back to the search bar. Following some testing with Production and Beta versions this is working as expected. I suggest trying to reinstalling 1Password 8 for iOS and let us know if this behaviour persists.

Is there a way to vote ourselves for feature requests?
