I find it frustrating that the search in 1P8 just shows a set of "autocomplete" style results instead of filtering the list of items. I recently learned that I can type command-return to get the actual list of results. Is there any way I could make the command-return behavior the default for my installation? I really find the current default behavior unhelpful and confusing. Furthermore, once I get the search results the sort option disappears. Why? It is often valuable to sort search results just as it is valuable to sort the whole list of items. Please bring back sort options for search results. Thanks! 1Password Version: 8.7.1 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 12.4

Hi @efc, thanks for your feedback on search in 1Password 8. We do have an open feature request with our developers for an option to make the command-return ("Show all matching items") toggleable as a potential default. I have just added a vote on your behalf for that feature. 👍 In case it's helpful, I'd like to highlight the find feature, which we recently added to 1Password 8. This is a secondary way to search for things, and I wonder if it might better meet your needs. On MacOS, you can use opt + cmd + f to invoke this feature. I'll be curious to know what you think! I have added a vote for you as well, esquared. Thanks again for your input on this.

I had not discovered the "Find" feature and that does work well. It is a bit less discoverable, though.

Thanks @efc, I hope that's helpful! I'll make a note indeed to our relevant folks about the discoverability of that. Thanks for trying it out. 😃

This is the biggest pain point in 1Password 8 for me as well. CMD + Option + F is a pretty inconvenient keypress, the 1Password 7 behaviour where the search does real-time filtering on the entire list is far more preferable. Maybe a toggle in settings to allow that to be the default behaviour for those who prefer it?

Any news as to if the search feature can be reverted to the much better 1P7 "filter" feature? It's just so cumbersome in it's current form.

I also find the current search non intuitive.

Putting in my vote to go back to the good old days where we just got a list of matches for search results. New way is unusable.

That's a great idea, @CountDrakkk! We're tracking feedback on the topic internally so I've added a vote on your behalf.

Thanks for letting us know this is important to you. 😊
