Option to revert 1Password Search to filtering items
Please allow searching for items in the 1Password app to filter the current window, rather than showing the dropdown. I often search, then hit Enter and load a site, rather than my intention of display the search results. I understand that there is the Command + Return shortcut to show all results but this is not as intuitive.

Thanks folks! We are listening, and appreciate your feedback.

Definitely would love to see an option in the settings to change this back. However, if you do happen to change this back, can you please add in the "tags" at the top of the list perhaps? That way, they will still be included in a quick search (best of both worlds). :)
Thanks!

I am also been driven to mad with this "Search" feature, I am just curios why 1P named it "Search" if it cannot fulfill the search feature?
"Search" means I can use it to search for items with something I input, but actually it couldn't, if I searched with terms in middle of it. Then it just wasted my time to try again with the alt-cmd-f feature again. 1Password should be a productivity app, what's actually in your product manager head, for bring up such a modification?
+1 for bring the old search function back please....

@dalepeak thank you for your feedback here, as well. The search feature is an ongoing area of improvement for us, and we recently included the
find
feature (thectrl + alt + f
one) in order to provide an immediate solution for folks who have been requesting a filter-like way to locate things.There's more to come on this front, and we appreciate you letting us know your impressions of the current state. We'll keep the improvements coming and hope that future updates will delight you.

ctrl+alt+f does make a filter field visible which then filters the list in place, but that's a very hacky solution. It doesn't appear to be possible to amend the filter and it disappears depending on where you click. To achieve the same thing using what was previously the filter field requires pressing ctrl-enter after typing the search string, which is no less hacky. I don't know what the intent is behind the new behaviour of having a drop-down, but it seems like there could be an option to make that field permanently behave like 1Password 7 instead of requiring additional keystrokes.

An option to use "Filter" instead of the cumbersome new search would be highly appreciated.
By the way even the latest nightly still uses the same German wording for search and filter in the menu:

Hi 1P_PeterG how do I make opt+cmd+f the default instead of the current non filtered search box ? I'll get carpal tunnel in my hands if I keep doing this non stop..

Hi @adisor19, to be clear it's not possible to "revert" any given feature in 1Password 8 as it's an entirely new app, built from the ground up. However, we're of course happy to make improvements and appreciate your feedback on this issue.
By the way: have you tried using the
find
functionality in 1Password 8?You can do this on Windows using
ctrl + alt + f
or on Mac usingopt + cmd + f
. Let me know what you think! - Former Member
Oh wow this needs to be reverted ASAP. Is there still no workaround in 8.7 ?! It's driving me nuts..
