Unable to Find Text in A Selected Secure Note

Oxon

I needed to search for a specific word in a lengthy secure note, but I can't work out how to do it! What am I missing?

Hi @Oxon!

Is the 1Password search bar not working for you for this? I have just tested this by entering the word directly in the 1Password search bar, and 1Password showed me the secure note that included that word.

Search 1Password to find what you need

Yes, it's working but brings up a list of records/notes containing the text. It was drilling down in a single note that I was looking for.

@Oxon:

Thank you for the update! If the word appears in multiple notes, then 1Password will show you every note. If you would like the search results to show only a specific note, you will need to enter a more specific text in the search bar, something that is only inside this specific note.

Thank you. It would be more useful, if having selected a particular note from the search, a search could be performed on that note, (like a search in a single Word document) as it is not always possible to enter a more specific text string.

(Actually, I seem to remember the facility existed in an older version of the main app.)

Thanks.

I see, thank you for the suggestion! I can see how this could be helpful to you, so hopefully we will be able to address this some time in the future :+1:
