Change default behavior of main research bar

There is two things which is really hard to get used to when I switched from the version 7 to 8:

  1. Having the result of the research on the main windows, not on the search field (this is now achievable by doing CTRL+ENTER)
  2. Being able to find partial string / not starting with : see https://1password.community/discussion/comment/644112

Is there a chance to get an option somewhere to activate/select this behaviour ?
That would let the user decide what he needs/wants ?

1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Win 10

    Thanks for the additional feedback @ArnaudL and viswiz, it's greatly appreciated. I'll pass this suggestion along to the team.

    An option to replace the 'downgraded' search by find would be more than welcome.

    Thanks @"ali.hazime"

    The "find" feature seems to work okay. It would make sense to simply replace the "search" field by this "find" one or be able to "stick" the "find" field all the time.
    Having to use the shortcut (at all) is quite nice but still extra steps when we are on the hurry.

    Hey @ArnaudL, thanks for reaching out and providing your feedback. I can certainly understand how those changes could disrupt your workflow.

    We currently have an internal feature issue raised to add an option to make "Show all Matching Items" the default search behaviour. Also, regarding partial string search function, we have another internal issue opened for this. I'll be sure to add your voice to both issues to further highlight user interest.

    If you'd like a short-term solution to the substring search issue you mentioned, I'd suggest trying the recently introduced "find" feature. You should be able try this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F on your Windows device when 1Password is open. Let me know if this functionality is suitable for your use case or if you have any further questions. Hope this helps!
