Option to include Archive in Search
Please add an option to include Archived Items in the search, if desired. As a long-time 1Password customer, I have 250 archived items, and it's only going to get bigger. It is inevitable and ridicul...
Thank you for the feedback. The Find tool (available at the top of any item list, including the Archive) searches through a more limited set of fields. When using the Find tool, you can search for things like the item's title or the username:
The Search tool is more sophisticated and will look through other fields like the website address. I can see how it would be useful to include results from the Archive when searching and I've filed a feature request on your behalf to have our team look into adding this functionality in the future.

Thanks, Dave, for your always timely reply.
The find tool on my Mac doesn't work for searching archives.
It ranges from unreliable to nonexistent.
I tested it before I made the suggestion, went back and rechecked again, and it's no good.
Your long-time customers are going to need this tool because I know I do; 250 archived items is no joke, and I do delete anything I can.

Thank you for your reply! I’d be happy to submit a feature request on your behalf to add an option for the search tool to include archived items. Could you share a bit more about your experience with the Find tool? When you describe it as “unreliable” or “nonexistent,” what specifically is happening?
The Find tool searches a more limited set of fields compared to the search tool, are you finding that the information you need is in fields that Find doesn’t cover within your archived items?
