1Password 8 for Windows - Search within a Single Vault

On v7 (Windows full desktop client) I used to be able to search a specific vault for a password - really useful as I have many context specific vaults.
However on v8 it only offers searching at the account level.

The result set is also in no specific order, meaning that if you get a large number of results it's almost impossible to find the item that you're after. How is this supposed to work?

1Password Version: 8.4.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10

    Hi Jack. Thanks for explaining how it now works - you've saved me from a lot of future frustration :-)
    Yes, if the team could look at the sort options in a future update, that would make it a lot easier.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi @StevekWMM:

    To search a specific vault, pressing ctrl+f with the vault selected will add a vault search scope option: =vault:$vaultname.

    As for the search results, they're currently shown in order of relevance, but it would definitely make sense to have the option to sort the search results by the sort options that are available when not searching. I've added your feedback internally to see if we can make this a bit smoother in the future. Thanks!

    Jack
