Way to search in current(selected or focused) vault
Hi team,
I recently upgraded my 1Password Windows client to v8. The UI is much better with a lot of usability improvements. The search function and how the items present are the only things buggering me.
The previous version allows me to select a vault and only see content for this vault in the whole UI while doing a search. Now I am not able to focus on a single vault and everything showing at the same time. It's not a big problem but when it comes to searching for an item, there is no way(as far as I can tell) to search within a vault. I guess for the personal user(I use 1Password for my family) it's not a big deal since personal users do not tend to have many vaults. But for business users, there are multiple vaults and thousands of entries. Searching for an item without any advanced search is very painful...
Questions:
Did I miss something for the search setting that can limit the search to a vault?
Does the team have any plan to implement an advanced search? e.g. search by system field or custom field
Cheers

I can't believe I missed this ag_mike_d. Basically the feature from before is still there, you just made it more flexible and self adjustable.
Great stuff! Thanks for the support - spot on! - ag_mike_d

Hello @joaoguerrasantos and @jamie_murphy,
Thanks for your messages and feedback in this thread.
@joaoguerrasantos, it sounds like Collections might work for you, Use collections to create custom groups of vaults. Once a created, you can select this collection from the left sidebar and search results will only be pulled from the pre-selected list of vaults that you've added to that collection. Let us know how you get along with this feature.
@jamie_murphy - we can certainly understand where customers may have difficulties with keyboard shortcuts and would be happy to pass along any suggestions to the product team. Could you let us know how you resolve this currently, or what improvements we could make this easier and quicker for you? Thanks!

+1 on making it easier / quicker to do this without keyboard shortcuts for accessibility usecases. Not everyone can easily
Ctrl + Fif they have typing difficulties. - Anonymous
+1 for having Quick Search performed on a pre-selected list of Vaults.

Thanks, @tdbbs!
Do let us know how you get along with the collection you created.
Given your case, I can understand the issue with seeing several options appearing in certain vaults. I don't have any additional information to share with regards to the implementation of this functionality in 1Password in the browser, but I've cast that vote for you previously! 👍
Have a great day!

I setup a collection. i'll give it a try for a while. I do vote for this function in web browsers. When i go to google and try to log in, literally i get 30+ options. As IT director i have a lot of past employee's information and such in a vault i don't want in play.

Hi @tdbbs,
Thanks for your message. It sounds like you are referring to the option from 1Password 7 for Windows where you could select which vault(s) appear when searching under All Vaults.
In 1Password 8 we've introduced Collections where you can create a custom group of vaults from any of your accounts. When creating a collection you can include only the vaults that you want to see results from. Then, selecting this collection in the sidebar or in Quick Access, a search will only produce results from those vaults. Give this a try and let us know how this works for you: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults
While collections are not currently available in 1Password in the browser, we do have any open feature request with the Product team, in which I've cast a vote on your behalf.
Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

please bring back the feature that allowed you to select vaults to be searched under the normal search. i have some vaults full of old information that i don't want searched when i do a find. if i need to find something in those vaults i can go directly to that vault and do a local search. But by default i want them ignored. this is particularly useful in the web browser to cut down on the number of false positives when it pulls up a page's passwords. so when. you bring this very. useful feature back please make sure it works in the browsers too. thanks.
