1Password 8 search

I agree with @Niekie. The "search everywhere" feature is not helpful for anyone with a lot of items. Because previously you're able to target your search to a particular fields. See this example:

Title - contains - 'chars' <--- ( This only searched the titles. )

On top of this I was able to combine multiple criteria:
Title - contains - 'chars'
Notes - contains - 'test'
(The combo above would search ONLY titles and notes )

So if I had 2 entries with the title containing the word "charset" only 2 entries would return in 1PW7. But now if any part of my thousands of entries contain "chars" anywhere it will come back in the results. There could be hundreds or thousands of results (in my case) for me to still have to manually look. This is a big deal breaker! Going back to 1PW7 until t
his is fixed. Thanks

Hey @Niekie, thanks for the feedback. Could you tell me a little more about the results you're getting in 1Password 8 compared to 1Password 7? For instance, is it because those entries are in a specific vault in 1Password 7 while 1Password 8 is searching across all vaults?

@Niekie> "finding a string everywhere is cool, but not if you have thousands of entries... Can we set/change/add an option to set defaults maybe?"

In general, the 1Password settings are impoverished of that sort of option.

Why should we squabble about search behavior, or details of UI, when we could be given choices?

Does anyone -- ANYONE? -- remember .xdefaults? Everything is configurable.
(Personally, my first move would be to configure borders for the app's window. White boxes defined by white edges is, at best, a discourtesy.)

AliH1P 1password7 is still better for me. I understand that finding a string everywhere is cool, but not if you have thousands of entries... Can we set/change/add an option to set defaults maybe? Quite a frustration to each through 41 entries where v7 only had 6 for the same search term, not even showing the item I am looking for.

Morning folks, thanks for your kind feedback! We're happy to hear you're liking these improvements.

Netpog, we appreciate your additional request about implementing a highlight function for searched results. I've passed this along to the team for consideration. 👍

AliH1P Can confirm this works and this update is great! Very happy that our feedback is being heard! Thank you!

Thanks, AliH1P !! I just switched to Nightly channel to check this out, and this is VERY nice. Happy to have it. And it's great - downright empowering - to able to search within items for strings in notes and (I see) all other fields.

I'm being greedy, I agree, but would it be too much to ask to have those search results highlighted, at least in the currently selected Item?

PS: I see that there's also progressive search, matching item titles, effective whenever keyboard focus is on the list of items. That's either a new feature that I'm happy to see, or a long-standing one that I'm embarrassed not to have already stumbled upon. Either way, thanks for it.

Hey @cmr011, DenalB, @Niekie, @MaRob, BEAK, @ct17, viswiz, and Netpog I have some exciting news to share regarding substring searching. We've made some changes to the search functionality in our latest Nightly release (80901013). Substring or partial word search matching has been implemented:

Additionally, if you search for a partial string from the notes section of an item and choose "Show all matching items" from the search results, it will yield all results containing that substring:

If you're interested in checking out these changes, you can navigate to Settings > Advanced and set the release channel to Nightly.

Let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions!

I also much preferred the 1P7 search. Specifically, the progressive search as you type and also hitting Enter rather than Ctrl+Enter to get the filtered displayed list.

Hello @Fabihahn,

Thanks for your feedback about vault searching. With the introduction of Collections, once a collection of vaults is created and selected, searching is limited to only the vault or vaults added. When you have a moment take a look at that guide and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
