Currently there's no way to search deleted or archived items. There's should be a toggle when you search to include results from archive and trash.
I'd have to do this couple times where i was searching for some credentials that were mistakenly archived. I had to manually scroll through the archive list to find my item.

I really LOVE 1Password and recommend it to others all the time... but when I realized there was no way to search the Archive I absolutely couldn't believe it was true... but alas, it was!
Up until ag_mike_d dropped in that hint that Cmd + Opt + F could get the job done. But still... I really really think there needs to be a more obvious method through the user interface to find that gem.
This issue has existed for years... has many votes for it in the roadmap... let's get this fixed! Go Team 1Password! :-)

Hi folks,
Thanks for your votes. I've included a votes for both nycyclist and for dgbeecher (based on the comments in this alternate discussion).
nycyclist, when you have a moment could you try the following and let us know if this helps? Select archive from the sidebar and use
Ctrl + Alt + F(orCmd + Opt + F) to show the "Find" field and filter the archive? 1Password app - Keyboard Shortcutsref: IDEA-I-929

+1 to this feature request. The Archive is like a black hole. I wish I'd kept my old "Defunct" database rather than switching to this native feature, which has no benefits that I can see except that items can be moved there with one click.

I too just hit this issue. In my case, I had an insurance renewal document, which stated the last 4 digits of the payment card it was going to use. I wanted to find out which card this was, so I searched in 1Password but there were no results. After manually scrolling back through the archive, I eventually found it was for a card that had expired (and so was in the Archive).
The ability to search the Archive would be very useful in these scenarios. Thanks!

Adding a ➕1 on this. Not being able to search the Archive makes me not want to put anything there as it's basically deleting it anyway…
