Search in 1Password 8

I'm trying out 1Password 8 (on a secondary computer). I was disappointed to discover that it is missing (unless I am missing something) the Search Options available in 1Password 7. I hope this is something that is coming later.

Specifically, I was looking at Watchtower, which seems to have different standards than 1Password 7, and was wondering which of my passwords are in the Fair category. There didn't seem to be a way to click through to a list of those, just the Weak ones. So I thought, I know, I'll use that amazing fine-grained search function to find them—only to discover that clicking on the magnifying glass no longer brings it up.

(Also, when I click on the "Weak" list, the strength listed for the individual items ranges from Weak to Fantastic.)

1Password Version: 8.2.0-44.BETA
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 11.4

    1P_PeterG Thanks for the update! I tried it out and it looks good. One comment, since you asked: when you hover over the sections of the strength bar, it says "Show 37 very good passwords," "Show 5 weak passwords," etc., which makes me think if you click it will jump to that section of the list, but it doesn't.

    Hi benmattison, we have an update on this! In the latest Beta release, you can now sort your passwords by strength, as rated by Watchtower.

    Full details on this release, which includes a number of other significant additions and improvements as well, can be found at the links in this discussion here:

    https://1password.community/discussion/128543/beta-12-of-2022-is-now-available-️#latest

    You can do this by going to Watchtower, and clicking on the color-coded bar beneath "Overall Password Strength." This will open a list of your items, sorted by strength, with a label at the top of each section (so you'll find all your "fantastic" passwords first, and so on down the list in decreasing order of strength).

    If you'd like to give it a try, we'd love to hear about your experience with it!
