Add the Search Icon or add a shortcut.

I am incredibly confused on why the search icon would be removed. It is so awkward to click on the search bar. Why I have to search is because autofill fails which is becoming increasingly common or ...

    Hello folks, 

    Thanks again for all of the feedback. I thought that I would provide an update in this thread. Based on all of the feedback received from users in the community, social media, support, and other places the team has added the ability to immediately focus the search bar by pulling down on the Home, Items, and Watchtower screens when using 1Password for iOS. 

    You can also immediately launch and focus search by long-pressing on the 1Password icon on your home screen and then tapping Search. 

    The team will continue to iterate and test other approaches for search in the future and we do appreciate all of the feedback, even if specific suggestions/requests in this thread aren't implemented at this time. 

    -Dave

I can't believe I actually created an account to comment this, but this is a big usability issue. Searching is the number one thing I do when I am in the 1Password app. I NEVER once used Watchtower on the app - only on the web as I am typically taking action on the Watchtower items. Ideally, please replace back the Search button and remove Watchtower.

It's really not as useful to have the search at the top especially when the previous Search button was incredibly easy to use (tap to get to tab, tap twice to immediately start searching/highlight search query). By the way, having search in three separate tabs means you might have three separate searches happening, not confusing at all!

This is a huge step backwards and really makes me question product design decision-making especially also in wake of the recent forcing users to have click through a new-user tour - I've been a user for 7 years!
