Preferences toggle for Case Sensitive / Spotlight Search

@Dom_1P Does quick access take some time to index, or learn through repetition? What I was searching for was 'MacBook' however I only got a result by searching quick access verbatim, 'macbook' wasn't working. And my location/language/keyboard is English GB/UK

Hi hmgnsd, without revealing any personal info, could you give me an example of a title you are searching for and what you typed into search?

Search was designed to be case insensitive, so searching for "google" or "GOOGLE" would match with "Google" etc.

It's possible that it doesn't get it quite right if the language used in app is not English, which is definitely something we'd want to fix.

Thank you for being willing to test hmgnsd, we appreciate it :)

Glad to have provided my perspective. After looking around at other password manager apps I’ve come back to 1Password and would like to give the new version, electron or not, a fair shot. And part of that is actually having the guts to use it and provide feedback. If you didn’t beta test, you can’t complain! Like voting

Hey hmgnsd, makes sense to me. Thanks for taking the time to explicate this for us. It was my pleasure to put in the feature request on your behalf!

1P_PeterG Thank you for forwarding my feedback :)

Quick question: can I ask what's the virtue of this Spotlight-searching-1Password functionality to you (as opposed to something like Quick Access?)>

Muscle memory, consolidation of services running in my menu bar at any given time, concern over integrations with other apps such as Alfred, having too many similar keyboard shortcuts such as cmd+shift+C which is most universally used for quite a few clipboard managers already; so there's one extra step to resolve that conflict. Not to mention (I don't know if I'm in the minority) but I have a hard time working out which fingers to use to even action a keyboard shortcut, especially on a MacBook keyboard where with my admittedly larger than average hands having to twist into a carpel tunnel inducing claw to hit the above shortcut with one hand. Or I can create my own, which I'll probably forget, and if I need to educate someone else of it over zoom or IM explaining "my shortcut is different to your shortcut" is time I'd rather be spending pressing cmd+space or cmd+/ and using the trackpad.

Hi hmgnsd, thanks for contacting us here!

Regarding case sensitivity: I'm not sure what the current specific plans are for this, but I have put in a request to the developers on your behalf to consider either turning off case-sensitivity or adding a toggle. 😃

Also, Spotlight can still search 1Password results on iOS/iPadOS, will this functionality return to 1Password 8?

Unfortunately I can't speak to this, as we generally don't announce features / functionality before any given thing actually makes it into the app. We're going with the approach of "under-promise, over-deliver" - although I will certainly note for our developers that this is something you'd particularly like to see. Thank you for letting us know! 👍
