Please support partial-match search function like 1Password 7
Good evening.
Partial-match search seems to be disabled since 1Password 8. This looks like forward-match.
I'm Japanese and Japanese is a language without the ability to separate words (Chinese ...
1P_Ben the current search has two major problems: algorithm/implementation and usability.
The implementation side suffers from problems that are related to the added unicode support as you and others told me. But finding less items than before is only part of the problem. Even worse it now splits search terms into separate words but instead of an "AND" operator it now uses "OR" that finds all kind of non related items.
The other problem is usability. Instead of start searching while typing and showing all results inline (within the item column) we now get a prefiltered list in a separate window/overlay. In order to get all results one has to press a shortcut. A regression reported by several users. But in contrast to the unicode problems mentioned above I still haven't found a single explanation for this change. I even searched the forums for complaints about previous 1PW's versions search that mighet explain the change but haven't found anyone complaining about the old UI. Could you please tell me why the UI/usability was completly changed?
If you can't/won't change the UI could you please add an option to replace the search by the already implemented but quite hidden filter?
