search is behaving differently than it used to.
is a strange wording for „it‘s completely broken“ and
there are future plans to revisit this
doesn‘t sound like it’s handled like the critical show stopper bug it actually is.

Hi @qinpf:
As you've noticed, search is behaving differently than it used to. To quote my colleague Dom:
Our new search engine has been written to better accommodate international languages (which the previous versions such as B5X [1Password in the browser], do not make any concessions for) and follows an industry standard for matching. This standard is not very fast and due to the nature of 1Password, we cannot easily store an index of your items in plain text like other apps do. This has left us a little restricted with how much processing we can do "on the fly".
We're always working on improving 1Password, and there are future plans to revisit this and hopefully get this working similar to the search in 1Password 7.

This is a known problem that was reported several times. Search only searches from the beginning. The answers given by the support team doesn't sound that it might get fixed any time soon. For me this bug alone is critical enough that 1PW8's release should have been postponed.
