Update: on second thought, forget what I said about live-filtering. There are lots of ways to solve this problem besides live filtering, and I realized after posting that I was just arguing for what I'm used to from previous versions. Let me try to be more useful and describe what, specifically, I find worse about the current search feature in v8.
The main issue I have is that the results dropdown is an intermediary bit of UI that gets between me and the items I want to see. It doesn't provide enough info, and dropdowns are fragile—if I select the wrong item I have to open & navigate the dropdown again to see a different search result. I miss being able to view item details directly.
I gather from @danvpeterson's twitter posts that the previous search UI was confusing for some, and also the new search opens up the ability to jump to categories and such. Fair enough. I hope the UI can get back to being as detailed & quick to navigate as the old one was when it comes to searching for items, as that's how I interact with 1Password 90% of the time.
