Why did you change the way the search works?

When I search for the string '@domain.com', 1Password 8 for macOS shows me dozens of entries that have the string 'domain' in it. Why???

When I search for the string '@domain.com', I only want to see items that contain '@domain.com' in it, obviously.

You can't just pull apart my search string, and display every item that matches any random substring between the '@' and the '.'

The '@' and the '.' are part of my search string.

Am I missing something here?

For a lot of my every-day search use cases, this new search-bar is completely useless. This is a significant regression from 1Password 7.

Also, the option "Expand the Search to All Fields" has disappeared. The macOS app now always searches across all fields. In the 1Password website on the hand, the search-bar seems to never expands the search to all fields. It seems to only search the items' title and username.

Two completely different search experiences. Why??

To me, search is a crucial feature for a password manager app. This needs fixing.

Also, unlock with Apple Watch does not seem to work.

1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

    Jack_P_1P It's the initial release of 1PW8 for Mac but the search problems were already reported about six months ago then the first early access builds were released. Apart from the well hidden find/filter option and its akward placing nothing has changed. Search is still not able to handle/find substrings/partial words and the new ui/ux is just awful with its extra steps.

    Hi @PaulCG / @bnfrnz:

    Thanks for your feedback on this. While I can't promise anything, we're continuing to iterate. This initial release of 1Password 8 for Mac is just that, an initial release, and we're not done yet.

    dont hold your breath. most people had to downgrade to v7 as v8 wont be usable any time soon. there wasnt even a tiny update in last weeks since hundreds of customers complained here.

    +1 for that. I find search significantly less powerful/useful than it was in 1P7.

    welcome to v8.

    Read other threads here, and discover some of the other joys of v8.

    None of this will get "fixed", as it's not broken. It's how they built it. It's how they chose to make the product they present to you.

    The only answer is not to buy it. Time to move on to a new product.
