Question

Keyword search with 'create new item' being wonky

So this is just a small thing I've been battling for a little while, not sure if a bug or by design. When I go to create a new item via the 1password app on MacOS, specifically an API key entry, I always search for API to get the template, because that's in the title of the credential I want to create so I assume that will get me there. 

When I search for API, the API credential option does not show up. But when I search key, THEN it shows up as on option. 

Even if you search for the exact asset by name, it still doesn't show up

So I thought that maybe I was using this wrong or searching for what I wanted incorrectly, But if I search credit then credit card shows up no problem.

Same thing for Identity

So I guess this is a bug report, but maybe a feature request, but maybe 'i might be doing something wrong'?

Thanks XD

Hello @Naaackers! 👋

Thank you for reporting this! I've reproduced the same issue and I've filed a bug report with our development team. 

For the time being, searching for "cred" is one way to immediately see the API Credential category be suggested when creating a new item. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
