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 counterintuitive the extra ctrl+f for vault specific search, like the ctrl+enter for result list when in full desktop mode.
There are others Search related questions for v8, but not addressing all the points reported here.
Regards.

Searching for text labels makes sense, if you're searching for your bank account number, for example. I know my bank accounts contain a field called "IBAN" with the account number, so I'd like to search for "IBAN" to get all entries that contain an IBAN number (I have more than one bank accounts).
I can of course also directly search for the bank name, but searching for IBAN is a lot more intuitive and would return better results, because I have multiple entries for the same bank, one contains the IBAN, others not.It doesn't make sense to search for common labels that appear in almost every entry like "username", "password" or "email", but searching for custom labels like this would be useful.

Hi @klmnbrt3 and @theredmoose, thanks for your feedback here. The search feature is definitely an area of ongoing development here, so what's in place today will not necessarily always be "the way it is."
We've had a number of customer requests for increased flexibility in this area - including the ability to search terms in an item's sections, as you mentioned @klmnbrt3 - and I will make sure to add your comments here to our existing discussion of how we can continue to develop a better search.
Thanks for your input, and for helping us continue to improve! π

I am unable to search in the notes and other sections. Is this expected? If not, is it to be rolled out soon? Can roll back to v7? I do like the new look and features like collections and opening the app directly from the tray on a double click. Thank you.
