Search 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...
Could you let us know what challenges you are experiencing when searching 1Password in the browser?
A recent example: I have a Secure Note for each car, with the VIN, license plate number and other details. These are not logins, but occasionally sites require one or the other as identifier. I remember the first few letters of the license, but that doesn't help me in the browser search. I need to remember the note title and search for it, or I need to switch to the app and use "show all matching items" of the search.
I agree with the many voices that two search functions are unnecessary -- one that works properly is enough.
My suggestion is that the search should display all matches up to a given number (maybe 8?), and if there are more matches, then there is a line at the bottom that says "Show all matching items". This way I have the option to type more to narrow the search or to type Ctrl+Enter to show all matching items. But I get to see whatever is currently matching, not an arbitrary subset of that. This is also how search works across many different applications and websites.
I consider the search, as it is today, unnecessarily broken.
