Search broken on Linux, works great on other platforms

Hi @jewelengineering, thanks for the follow-up here (and my apologies for the delay in responding).

Your feedback is both welcome and well-taken. We want to make sure that you have a smooth and intuitive experience with 1Password 8, and I'm sorry to hear that the search functionality hasn't met your needs in its current form.

As I mentioned, this is definitely an area of ongoing improvement for us, so you can expect that search functionality will be improving and changing as we go forward - and we've already started queuing up requests and suggestions on how to make it better. I hear what you're saying about the substring search in particular, and this is something I personally filed an issue for with our developers not long ago. I'll hope to have more for you on this as things develop (so to speak).

Is it possible to install 1Password7 on Linux, because version 8 is nearly useless to me at this point.

It is not, because there is no 1Password 7 for Linux app - 1Password 8 is our first foray onto this platform.

However, if you're already using 1Password 7 on other devices and that implementation of the search feature is important to you (as it sounds like it is), my suggestion would be to keep using search there if you can while we continue to improve. Because your 1Password data syncs between devices, you should have the same set of items everywhere - only it'll be differently searchable on the devices where you're using 1Password 7.

In the meantime, I have added your request for more 1Password 7-like search functionality to our 1Password 8 search feature project. I hope this reply has been helpful, and that the updates to come will be greatly to your liking!
