Inconsistent Search Behavior Between Web App and Mobile App

I’ve encountered a possible inconsistency in search behavior between the 1Password web app and the mobile app.

When I search for a partial string on the web app, it only seems to match content in the title or first line of a note. If the string is further down in the body of the note, it doesn’t show up in the search results.

However, when I perform the same search on the mobile app, it correctly finds and displays all notes that contain the string anywhere in the content.

Is this expected behavior for the web version? I don’t see any search filters or options that would limit the scope of the search, so I’m wondering if I’m missing something — or if this might be a bug.

Would appreciate any clarification. Thanks in advance!

    Hello lzkkent​! 👋

    Thank you for the question! The web app at 1Password.com does indeed have a simpler search tool that only looks through a few fields. I recommend that you install the 1Password app on all of your devices so that you can use the more powerful search tool included in the app:


    The team hopes to bring feature parity to search between the web app and the other apps in a future update.
