4 years agoBad search experience - 1Password v8
The search changes was not very appealing, at least for me, as I can't find terms on Sections or Labels. I had to keep a v7 install so I can find my items.
Also, if inside a vault, seems counterin...

4 years agoI just tried upgrading to 1PW8 and one thing that is driving me insane is the new search behaviour. In 1PW7, when you would hit return after typing a few characters of what you're looking for, it would simply show a list of all items that contain the string. Now, you jump to the first item that 1PW8 seems fit (I don't know how it makes the determination) and the list shows just all vault items, not a reduced list of those that match the search string. The way to get back to the old behavior is to hit the "arrow up" key before you hit return or to hit CTRL+Return. I understand why one might want new behavior (if the majority of your items can be found by an easy search string that delivers exactly 1 result), but if that is not the case it would be far easier if I had an option to switch back to the old behavior.
Many of my typical search strings return multiple items and just jumping to what feels like a random item of them directly without giving me an easy option to go to one of the alternatives from there (by reducing the list view to the items that contain the search string) is definitely driving me insane after just the first hour of using 1PW8.
