Chrome extension: searching for "tmobile" does not return "T-Mobile" like the macOS app

I have a login entry titled "T-Mobile". When I search for "tmobile" in macOS app, the results correctly include the "T-Mobile" entry. When I do the same search in Chrome extension, there are no results.


1Password Version: 8.10.44
Extension Version: 8.10.46.26
OS Version: macOS 15
Browser: Chrome

    Thanks for the reply. At the moment, searching for tmobile won't return results that contain t-mobile. The best option, for now, would be to add "tmobile" to the item's title.

    That being said, I've passed this scenario along to the team so that they can look into improving search in cases like this in the future. πŸ™‚

    Thank you, that does help.

    Do you think, in general, a search query for "tmobile" should match items titled "t-mobile"?

    wpchen,

    You're welcome! 1Password in the browser search functions differently from the search in the 1Password app, as it doesn't search the notes fields. I've filed a feature request with our product team on your behalf to see if we can make the search more consistent across platforms in a future update.

    I hope that helps.

    Thanks Evon - your hunch is correct! I did put "tmobile" in the notes section. I think I did that at some point in the past as a hack around "tmobile" not matching "T-mobile". But I guess I'm finding out the hack only works for the app, not the extension. Ideally, I can remove "tmobile" from the notes section and have "tmobile" search term return "t-mobile" based solely on the title. Second best situation would be for my workaround to also work in the extension as it does in the app.

    Hello, wpchen. Thank you for writing in.

    May I confirm if your T-Mobile Login item contains the string "tmobile" anywhere in the item?
