Search doesn't search in section names
If you try to search for something it doesn't seem to search for section names. For example I've standard username/password but I often add some subsection with names that tell you things for example 'pin', 'apple watch' or whatever. Right now the search is empty. Please include it.
1Password Version: 8.4.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11

I would like to echo what @Hybrid and viswiz mentioned about partial search.
I'm surprised at how debilitating the lack of partial search is to me.
"grocery" doesn't find "mygroceryapp.com" :cry:
I understand the desire to avoid extraneous matches, but I can't find anything. The baby is in the bathwater.

Hi @Orko:
Thanks for following up on this. As it currently stands, these changes haven't made it into the stable release of 1Password 8 just yet, but are available in the beta or nightly channels of 1Password. To switch to the beta channel:
- Open and unlock 1Password.
- Click your account or collection at the top of the sidebar and choose Settings.
- Click Advanced, then set “Release channel” to Beta. (Updates will be installed automatically when “Install updates automatically” is turned on.)
- Click About to verify that the update has downloaded, then update 1Password by following the prompt.
Let me know how you get on with that!

Any idea when the new search will hit the Windows version of 1Password 8? I just started working at a new company and was using version 7 and searching for Usernames in all their databases was the only way I could find passwords. I just got my new Work PC setup and installed 1Password 8. I am unable to locate any of the usernames anymore and I am really struggling getting the job done.
Everything I read above indicates that the search feature has been improved to work like Version 7.
When will the updated release hit?

Hi PrzemyslawKlys:
I've just checked, and yes, searching for "GPG" would work in this release as well.

Great, thank you! I'm on beta so I'll wait some time. Does it also work for subsection such as in this case phone?
In old versions you could type GPG and find the record. right now it doesn't

Hi PrzemyslawKlys,
The latest nightly update (80500042) now has the fix to search for the section titles.
