How to enable single vault for autofill, but all vaults for searching?

Thanks for the response @ag_yaron.

Right. So I can turn off certain vaults for the extension icon > search, or I can turn off certain vaults for the extension completely (which affects both search and autofill). I'm curious if you have any specific thoughts about what I said about the use cases though. You say that "most users have all vaults enabled and find it quite comfortable", but who are the users who are disabling certain vaults just from the extension search? What is the use case there? By definition, searching is usually the thing users do when they want to dig through everything and find anything matching their query. The autofill dropdown is the problematic pain point here, because there's no way to filter those suggestions. By contrast, the extension search can easily be filtered. If I search for "site name" and see 15 results, then I can keep typing "site name blah" and winnow those results down. It seems counterintuitive to me that the one you allow us to disable vaults for is the one that we already have much more power over filtering.

You're also worried about novice users accidentally disabling vaults for the autofill dropdown, but then you're not worried about novice users disabling vaults for the extension search. If they can disable vaults in either case, novices will find a way to confuse themselves. I just think the vault selection power is being applied to the wrong thing here. By not allowing power users to disable vaults for the autofill dropdown, we're missing out on a very powerful feature that we can't easily work around. And conversely, by allowing all of us to disable vaults in the extension search, it feels like we gain... nothing? Turning vaults on and off in the extension search seems like an essentially useless feature.

The whole reason I want to be able to control which vaults display in the autofill dropdown is because 1Password X stopped respecting the "Never display in the browser" checkbox in the first place. When I (and others) lamented the loss of this feature in the 1Password forums, we were told to move the items we didn't want to see on a daily basis to a secondary "Archive" vault. But it's just not the same. There is seemingly no way to create an item in my vaults that I can instantly and easily find by searching for it (without futzing with enabling/disabling vaults) but also not have to see on a daily basis in the autofill dropdown.

I'll stop blathering on, since clearly this is just a case of "agree to disagree". I don't expect that I'll be able to convince you. But I just wanted to put my $0.02 out there on this issue. As a freelance web developer with dozens of clients (and dozens of client credentials in 1Password), there are so many little ways that 1Password could easily be improved, but it seems like these changes won't be implemented for fear of scaring or confusing novice users. I would really love to see something like Chrome's chrome://flags/ or Firefox's about:config page for power users to exert more control over the application. Top of my list would be allowing me to disable vaults in the autofill dropdown (or bring back support for "Never display in the browser") and resizing the extension dropdown.
