Preferences toggle for Case Sensitive / Spotlight Search
Why is the only search option in both 1Password 8 and Quick Access case sensitive when both 1Password 7, 1Password Mini and the iOS/iPadOS apps are not? Will case sensitivity be turned off eventually...

5 years ago@Dom_1P My most common issue I can put my finger on can be reproduced as follows.
Simple issue that can be solved by smart indexing:
1) Imagine "mailto:tomek+swg_cat_prod_ci@example.com" as the value for any of the fields.
2) Type cat in the search.
3) Nothing pops up.
More complex, but just as common (for me) issue that cannot be solved by smart indexing:
1) Imagine "mailto:tomek+swgcatprodci@example.com" as the value for any of the fields.
2) Type cat in the search.
3) Nothing pops up.
All of the issues I'm having boil down to those easily reproducible examples really.
In real life it can be me looking for bits of title, bits of account id, bits of the app name. Whatever I vaguely remember.

PS: Please let me choose to go back to immediate filtering over all fields in the search box in full 1P client. I know it's probably too far along to just get rid of QS and go back to the mini-1p-in-the-tray-which-was-awesome.
I find Quick Search absolutely useless how it is now (multiple reasons mentioned already in different posts by different people, summing up - 1) doesn't work properly in the current nightly - focus / behavior / performance, et al, you can fix that, 2) it doesn't search through everything 3) it doesn't show me details 4) any action apart from "open and fill" takes more clicks - which is btw my least used option ever - I usually copy passwords / fields / TOTP - but I do often have more than one password field, hence I can't depend on the yet another key combo to remember, 5) doesn't show context-specific items right there at open).
So when I open 1Password and filter there - what do I get - ha, search box behaves exactly like Quick Search.
Let me filter the whole list like 1P7 did, right as I type. That was productive. I could quickly find narrow down to a couple, and by a few key strokes find the exact thing I need from ages ago, or from now. It was really good.
Not even mentioning the fact that clicking on a vault doesn't have any effect on filtering the search - it's the dropdown thing that does it.
I find all of this quite entertaining, as you kinda swapped the best of 1P7 functionality for worse UX versions for god knows what reasons. With twice as big fonts, but that's another story.
Seriously, great praise for the engineers, as I mentioned before, great job making the best Electron app out there.
But the redesign and product side of 1P8 IMO sucks big time, and I'm very eager to see how you get out of this mess :)
