Disable "Other suggestions" in search results?

Is there a way to disable the "Other suggestions" section in 1Password search results? They're almost never useful to me, and they just make the search results list harder to use.

For example, if I type my bank's name into the search field, I expect to get four results—the accounts for each of the four members of my family. Instead I get ~40 results, separated one by an easy-to-miss, grey-text "Other suggestions" label.

(Those suggestions are also rarely useful, even if I typed the search string incorrectly. When I type my bank's name, I get "Other suggestions" that include things as varied as Hulu, our internet provider, online-video services, and more.

    Any update on this?

    If not, yes, please let the team know. The current implementation is not good or helpful. I remember you could previously do CTRL+Enter to see only real matches, but that doesn't seem to be an option any more. 

    This really needs to be a user setting (or just removed completely). Adding all of the totally irrelevant and unrelated "other suggestions" to junk up the search results completely defeats the purpose of searching for specific things in the first place. This "feature" is almost as bad as the previous feature that auto-inserted old email addresses for new usernames by default. Luckily that madness was finally solved with a user setting. Can we PLEASE get a user setting to turn off this nonsense as well? 

    I love 1Password and implement it for a lot of people, but some of these decisions lately just defy logic.

      Thank you for the feedback! If you press enter when one of the search results in the search drop-down is highlighted then you'll see a complete list of results for your search term without "Other Suggestions".

      Adding all of the totally irrelevant and unrelated "other suggestions" to junk up the search results completely defeats the purpose of searching for specific things in the first place. 

      Would you be able to provide a screenshot of a circumstance where the "Other Suggestions" aren't helpful? If you'd like to avoid posting the screenshot on the public forum then you can send it to support@1Password.com along with a link to this thread.

    No, there is not a way currently to accomplish that. I'd be happy to let the team know this of interest to you. Thank you for your input.
