Search bug related to record titles

I was looking for a 1Password record today and searched for "311".

Nothing came up despite knowing I have records with "311" in them.

Turns out the record I was searching for had a title of "Something311".

1Password could not find this record using search.

If I rename it to "Something 311" it can be found using search.

No bueno!

    I would be more than happy if they would add an option to fully replace search with find. As find is the pretty much how all previous 1Password version used to work. Sadly find has to be called again and again via shortcut and is placed in an unusual place whereas the broken search remains visible all the time and occupies screen space that could better be used by find.

    Sigh, maybe 1Password guys never used their own product, not sure how they can live with a product with this crippled search feature.

    Anyway, always use alt+cmd+f for searching things, otherwise you will wonder if you will wonder if the search did returned all of matched results or not, and eventually you will do another alt+cmd+f search to confirm it.

    Search in its current state is barely usable. AgileBits knows about these problems for almost 7 months. But apart from constantly telling us that they are listening nothing has changed.
    The reason behind the changes is Unicode support. You now can search for every exotic Unicode character but are not able find parts of words. Breaking one basic principle in software development: don‘t break working features by adding new ones.

    Same case here,

    I just searched for "postman" in my case, and no search result was found, but I have an item that has in the website section the url https://*.getpostman.com

    In the version 8 for Mac, the search suffered a terrible downgrade, in the 7 version those search problems never happened.

    Other sample, I use frequently the Note Field to store important sensitive data. On the version 7 i was able to search and result Note fields are indexed, in the 8 version don't.
