Hello mboszko! 👋
I'm sorry that you're running into trouble while searching for a specific term. The cause of the issue here is likely a known issue in 1Password's Search tool that our developers are investigating. A search term with a symbol in it (such as @) will erroneously be broken up into components and then 1Password will display results for each component rather than for the search term as a whole. Our developers are looking into this and I've added your report to our internal work item for the issue.
For the time being, you can use the Find tool rather than the Search tool to look for the items in question. The Find tool doesn't have the same bug with symbols that the Search tool currently has but it searches through fewer fields and through a specific vault/category only. You can access the Find tool by clicking on the following button above the list of the items that you'd like to search:
I hope that helps.
