limiting search
I don't see how you limit a search to just the Personal vault. There must be a way, but I can't find it. I'm using 1Password for Mac 8.10.64 (81064007)
Select Personal in the sidebar and press Command F or add this string prior to your search `=vault:Employee` for the Employee vault. Substitute Employee for the name of your vault either Personal or Private.
that is very cumbersome...why not a drop down to select all or a single vault? otherwise, I see duplicate results if an item is in more than one vault

ModeratorIf you see items in more than one vault it sounds as if the search string if not right. Make sure you selected the appropriate vault in the sidebar.
I agree with horatio888. The Command-F method works, but is cumbersome. Selecting the appropriate vault does nothing (at least in 1Password for Mac 8.10.64 (81064007)). A search still returns items from all vaults.

You can also limit the search to just a particular vault (or group of vaults) by using collections: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

Okay, that method seems to work. I don't understand why there is an extra layer of complexity, instead of being able to pick a vault directly when searching, but maybe that's because I'm an individual user and not a company.
