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...

Not so sure about the need for context filtering in the main window.
I personally use it (in 1P7) only when all other means fail, so I'd hesitate to add any implicit filters that wouldn't be immediately obvious.
Under the vision of - main window - here's everything, search away, filter however you'd like!
Re: second use case
As for the "Show all matching items" option - two issues:
1) Main issue - full text search doesn't work there (nor anywhere else).
It's based on some non-full-text index that doesn't allow to search for anything else than a prefix or a suffix (with a hack to treat mid-word uppercase characters as a word delimiter, which was a smart idea, but it's by far not good enough).
2) The UX of this search sucks big time.
a) I can't just type to search in real time over all fields - I'd have to type something, hit cmd+ret, type more, hit cmd+ret, etc.
b) Add to that the need to filter vaults by this weird dropdown instead of just clicking the vault or account on the sidebar.
I mean - you could overcome this problem with those "features", but the UX is so frustratingly worse (in terms of time / number of actions to achieve result) now than it used to be, it's painful, and I absolutely do not look forward to using 1P now - which is the exact opposite to what I felt with 1P7 (apart from long time to unlock, thanks for working on this in 1P8, great stuff, UX-wise the only positive change I noticed).
All those new features seem more like patches to fix a broken UX instead of a consistent vision for new UX - personal opinion.
Sincere apologies for bashing the product / UX team on a public forum, which I wouldn't normally do, knowing that those poor folk are reading this - but I'm not sure if, when you're this far committed, I can do anything less to perhaps in some way influence reconsidering this course.
Loved the app before, but this new UX changes everything - I don't feel the app is doing work for me, it's rather the other way around now.
