Hi,

3 years agoHello, love 1Password and have been using it for years (and have deployed it at my business). The way search works in 1Password8 is a step back in functionality in my opinion. When you type in the search bar, matching items should automatically just be filtered in the main window's results list to show all matching items (prior to having to hit ⌘↩︎). I feel like the additional step, while admittedly minor, is a royal PITA when you have a lot of credentials and are searching regularly. It's extra steps, and the less clicks/inputs required to get to an end result the better. I don't really understand why the main window doesn't just filter like it used to - seems like requiring the ⌘↩︎ step is fairly redundant. The shorter list that drops down from from the search bar as you type is not effective if you have more hits than the 8 items it shows - then to get to all the actual matching items, you need to hit ⌘↩︎ - where if the window just filtered in real time the results would be there without additional input.
Hope that makes sense. I don't think the previous search functionality was necessarily broken, surprised to see it change in a way that requires more user input.
Also, I searched the forum for threads regarding this, and this seemed to be the most appropriate place for it ("improved search"), even if it is not necessarily in line with the original post. Apologies if this should be in a new thread all together.
