3 years agoSearch no longer searches Notes
As of maybe a couple months ago, 1Pass doesn't seem to search Notes content anymore when using the search bar. This has proven to be a pain as it was a very useful thing to have, particularly for nam...

3 years agoSure! Being a product manager myself, I completely understand. In my workflow, I populate the Notes of a record with details that may not be included in the URL or name of the record that help me surface that record upon searching for it. I tend to use my password manager as a bookmark manager of sorts, so when I want to visit a particular site, I'll pop open the browser extension and search for the site I want to visit, often using shorthand or references included in the Notes field. Upon finding them, I'll use the Open and Fill option to visit the site.
I've started adjusting my workflow to include those details in the Name field, so that they're searchable, but am struggling with the backlog of hundreds of records that I imported from Lastpass where these details live in Notes.
Agree that I could open the desktop app to perform this search, it's just a change in habits for myself. Not a huge deal by any means, but I guess I just expected there would be feature parity between the desktop and Chrome extension in this instance. Thanks for your attention and for passing along my notes to the correct parties. So far I'm generally quite happy with the product, being only a week in. And I'm absolutely satisfied with the customer support and attention, so thank you!
