3 years agoFeature request: Reset the search field
Having the search button always there at the bottom of the app I’ve found myself constantly using that rather than scrolling the item entries.
At the moment it saves the previously searched term, which is fine, but to start a new search you have to reach the top of your device, clear the field, press the search field and search for your new term.
It would be great if you could long touch the search button which clears the current search and brings up the keyboard for a fresh search.

This is now a thing in the latest TestFlight. Such a better search experience 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I really miss having a context-aware search available anywhere. For example, how do I quickly search just the vault that I'm currently in without getting clutter from my other vaults? Or from a tag? An obvious UI implementation used all over iOS would be to hide the search "above" the default viewpoint.
I like having a single global search tab, that's not only useful but very discoverable (my mom never ever finds search features unless it is a separate tab), but global is not always that useful.

I'm not sure if I need search on all tabs. But it would be nice if the number of taps to get to search from anywhere (particularly when opening the app for the 1st or the nth time) would be minimized as much as possible. I agree that search is the most common thing I do when using 1Password on iOS.

Yes, I'm also missing search on all tabs. It is clearly not designed how users normally use the app on iOS. With many entries, Search is the main thing you do during daily use. Maintaining your passwords is just of secondary importance.

Lots of requests to improve this. Please listen 1password!

@fdavis99 I couldn't agree more. Search in all previous 1PW versions had a perfect search UI (mobile and desktop). The current implementation is a major showstopper for me.

I really miss search on all tabs. My biggest loss from V7, which had perfect search ui

@chris55 Yep, I agree that that can be handy, but it's not as common in actual apps, whereas showing the keyboard when tapping 'x' is common. This is really a separate request, but I added it here as if implemented it would go some way to improving your described scenario.

Hi @chris55 ,
Ah, I believe I understand your request now. Yes, we can certainly consider selecting when you go back. I'll raise an issue with the team.
Cheers,

You still need the step of pressing “x”. In spotlight, going back for a search displays the current search AND highlights the field so you can go into a new search straight away.
