Search in 1Password 8
Search in 1Password 8 is kind of useless. If I type something in the search field, I get a dropdown list of matches. But I can't see any details on those matches. You show a few values that will fit to the right of the match, but not enough to discern which result is the best most of the time.
Solution:
If the user clicks 'enter' on the search, the matched results should show in the main view, allowing the user to click on/highlight each and see the details.

Thanks for the feedback here folks!
We do have an open feature request to toggle the "Show all matching items" option as the default search behaviour so I'll add your voices to that.
I've also added you to a related request for search terms persisting, @1kPWs.
I apologize for any friction this adds to your use of 1Password and appreciate you all letting me know this is important to you. Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

ref: IDEA-I-4541PW8 has a hidden search/find feature that works almost like the far superior search of 1PW7. Use CMD + OPT + F and a new search field just above the item list and next to the search button is revealed. This shows results inline, i. e. omitting the useless popup windows with its relevance filtering. Sadly this search can't be configured to be the default behavior.
The awful usability of 1PW8's search is the main reason I'll stay of 1PW7 for as long as possible.I agree to twlatl and toshitaka, the standard behaviour of the search is useless. I even did'nt know about the 2-key search, which should be the default option. When you enter a search with only the return button and would like to redo the search with command-return, the search field is blank and you have to retype the phrase.
GreyM1PHi @twlatl
We've designed Search to be the way that you find the single particular item you're looking for. That's why pressing Enter with a particular result highlighted (usually the most relevant, at the top) will open one result.
To see the full results of the search, you can press ⌘↩ (Command–Enter) or click "Show all matching items" in the search popover. There, you'll see the details you're looking for.
Give that a try, if you haven't already, and let me know how you find it.
