1p8 clean search field instead of keeping previous search

I do not find the customization usefull for me. I go to search and type the first letters of the password … but in 1p8 the last search is kept in memory , which requires an extra step to empty the search field and do another search .

Is there as way to clean the search field automatically?

Thank you

    +1 for automatically clearing the previous search. Once I have looked up a password it is very rare I need the exact same search again the next time I open 1Password. Was this really in the workflow of the customer journey? What was the reasoning to make it remember a search?

    At the very least, tapping x to clear the search really should also position the cursor in the search field after clearing it, ready for the new search term. (As mentioned by @asking_questions ) This is how most x icons work on iOS, even in Apple's apps.

    e.g.

    When tapping the x on this screen:

    You get this:

    But I'd expect to see this:

    +1 as well. I’m for all things that speed up workflow, and this certainly will. I agree with the comments above.

    ag_mike_d thanks for the feedback and cast for a feature update.

    It makes no solution design sense to me to keep the previous search in memory and as @asking_questions said it is not easy to clear it with the x. I find 1p8 workflow not as seamless as 1p7.
    As a user I only want two things from 1Password . 1) trust it is secure 2) be uneventful and make its use so simple it gets unnoticed… having to click here and there is time frustrating.

    Thanks for the consideration for future updates

    +1. It's a bit of a hassle to do a new search, especially since tapping the x only sometimes positions the cursor inside the search field. So you end up having to tap multiple times to clear the old search and start a new search.

    Hello @loscarweb,

    Thanks for your feedback about 1Password 8 retaining the previous search query. Currently there is no way to automatically clear the search field before entering a new search. Currently, clicking the X to the right of the search field is your best option.

    I've cast a vote on your behalf in a feature request we're tracking where other customers have also expressed that they would like to see the search field clearing automatically. Please let us know if you have any other concerns or feedback you'd like to share.
