Request Related To Archived Items
I'll be honest, I wish there was a way to pull up archived items when filling a login, such as when I'm singing into an app (e.g. on iPhone), a webpage, or elsewhere. I transitioned my 1Pass data fro...

I do understand the purpose of the Archive. I am helping a less-technical family member who made a mess of their vaults after migrating from a stand-alone version of 1Password. There appear to be 3-4 copies of nearly every item. I believe the imported ones are safe to remove, but can't be 100% certain, and I am using tags to keep track of the source of these items. The dates aren't reliable either, as the most recently imported ones seem to show that they were modified on the import date, even if they weren't in fact modified. Of course, a duplicate detector would also be useful in this instance.
This person also struggles with 'fiddling' with the mobile app to switch the search scope. Perhaps if we can set a collection as the default search scope (in the Android app) I can set it up for them and the issue will be mitigated. I will try. But based on what nimvio has said, this may not work.
Once I move the suspected outdated items to the Archive, there will be 1000s of items there. As you point out, if "the need arises to review them", it would be helpful to support more nuanced review. The tags are there, it would be nice to be able to use them in the search to help with the process. A search semantics for the Find field such as tag:XYZ, title:ABC (analogous to from:ABC subject:XYZ in email search) could address this.
But I have set up the collections; let's see how it goes.
