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

Hi,

I'm a beta user so I didn't know about this change ending up in the GA version. As soon as this had landed in the beta, I gave feedback stating my displeasure but it seems it was not enough.
As screens tend to get bigger and bigger, it's harder to reach to the top of the screen to perform the search (at least for me).

So here's my suggestion: leave the search bar at the top as it is now and let those people with longer fingers tap into it and search right away.
But please also let me customize the bottom tab bar and allow me to add the search icon back. This icon's only purpose would be to put the focus into the search bar so it's easier to activate. Please :)
