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...

Thank you for your involvement in soliciting user feedback and trying to improve the product.
+1 on requesting browser extension ability for search bar to search ALL fields, or at minimum the NOTES section. You were asking for real-world examples....
I used LastPass for many years, and recently purchased 1Password subscription. LastPass search function in the browser extension searched all fields instantaneously, and makes it SUPER EASY to find so many entries based on the NOTES I had created.
I've used 1Password for a few months now, and am continually annoyed that search doesn't search NOTES, thus resulting in very few hits on my searches. I basically have to know the URL or title for search to work. (I imported my 400+ entries from LastPass into 1Password)
i.e. With LastPass I could search for "sunshine", where my notes say = "favorite is sunshine aero pizza" in my notes, and it would return hits Gambinos, etc.
But with 1Password, searching for "sunshine" or even "pizza" results in ZERO hits, and I have to search for the names or URL contents.
i.e. For parking reservations at Dulles airport, with LastPass I type in "parking", which finds my notes entry for "dullespayandgo.com".
With 1Password I have to remember the URL words "dulles" or "payandgo".
Appreciate if 1Password will consider searching ALL FIELDS IN BROWSER EXTENSION.
Thank you,
Marc S.

This is very disappointing that this post from 3 years ago exposing the flaw with Search has still not been fixed. I find this equally frustrating.
