Option to make "Show all matching items" default search method

Probably 98% of the searches I do in IP8 are "Show All Matching Items" which means I'm having to hold down the command key and press enter after entering the term. This is creating extra work many times a day. The additional problem is that's creating a habit and I'm pressing command-enter in other places where it's not needed or where it runs a special function and creates additional issues.

I get that the theory behind IP8's password field is to be like Spotlight Search and for some people that's great. However for many (probably most) of us 1Password is treated more like Mail.app where "search" could just as well be called "filter"

It would be fine to use the "spotlight" theory by default but please add an option to make "show all matching items" the default search method.

1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 13
Browser:_ Not Provided

    Hello @koelsh! 👋

    Thank you for the feedback! While I can't promise anything, we do have a feature request open to add an option making "Show All Matching Items" the default search behaviour in the app and I've added your request and comments there for the product team to consider. 🙂

    Addendum: Instead, what if the search field remembered what was typed in last like the iOS version does? As it is, selecting something from the quick search field erases what was typed.

    The iPad interface might be the better one anyway.
