Searching multiple vaults

Hi Ben,

Please add my enthusiastic vote as well. I am in the exact same boat as Ash. One of my favorite things about the iOS app is how it searches across vaults.

A related irritant is how 1Password will auto-fill if there's only one hit found, which is frustrating when I want to hit cmd-\ and then cmd-2 to switch to my second vault, but it found a hit on my personal vault so I have to use the mouse to switch vaults and try again.

Best,
Kevin

I second (or third) this request. Multiple vaults is a killer feature, but the current search makes it kinda cumbersome. Thanks for the awesome app.

I'm definitely in the same situation: searching across multiple vaults is my number one request. My number two would be if Apple allowed iCloud to share in the same way Dropbox does so all of this could happen as effortlessly as single-vault usage, although I acknowledge that is not an Agile Bits problem.

Obviously a lot of people have chimed in on the request to "search across vaults" for both Mac and iOS. Personally, I can live with the way Mac and 1P-mini have implemented it, but on the iOS version it is a little frustrating. While I understand searching across all is problematic to implement, I would like to request as least making searching across vaults on iOS easier by always showing the vault icon on the Categories screen and allowing me to switch when the item isn't found in the current vault. When you initially go to the Categories screen, the ability to switch vaults is there (GREAT!), however once you start searching, the vault icon goes away and you are locked into the current vault unless you completely cancel the search to get the vault icon to return to the screen, select a different vault, and then retype the entire search criteria (NOT GREAT!). If the vault icon stayed on the screen while searching and could be accessed/changed to use the current search criteria in a different vault, it would essential work like the Option-1, Option-2, etc. features in the Mac. While still not a "search across all vaults" feature, this would at least make searching across the vaults in iOS a little less painful.

Thanks guys. Love the product.

Hi Agilebits Team,

A possibility to search across multiple vaults would be very nice!
We have multiple vaults in our company and it's always a pain to search manually in all vaults.

A global search would be a really great feature.

Thank you for consider our feedback.

best regards

@bwoodruff , thanks! I'm glad to see you guys are making progress in this. Can't wait to see what you've implemented.

I am looking forward to see these new improvements. I have recently transitioned to multiple vault, since I was reach more than on thousand items in a single one. Now it is a pain to find something in them. 1P mini clear the search on switch (why? :'( ) and there is no way to get additional results from other vault, in particular when the current one does not provide any. I hope you will astonish me with clever solution to these problems soon. And I hope this will be not IOS only, but over all the platforms.

I add my vote for this. I just started using multiple vaults. One of my secondary vaults is shared with my wife and another is shared with my father. This is convenient for keeping everybody synchronized with the items that they need. But a huge disadvantage is having to remember what vault a particular item is in and, often failing that, searching multiple vaults individually to find the item. Not being able to search multiple vaults simultaneously is a major flaw in the multiple-vaults paradigm.

Another problem: during the transition from individual vaults to shared vaults, there are inevitable conflicts where, for example, one person will have updated a password but neglected to inform the other users of that account. Shared vaults should make this a thing of the past; but, finding and cleaning up those conflicts is much more difficult without the ability to see those records side by side.

Your post says it works in iOS. If it works in the Mac Desktop App, I don't know how to use it.

Ah! Well, I tried to be a good citizen and search the forums before posting. The search found my problem, but in the wrong forum. I did not notice which forum it was in. Should I post my complaint in the Mac forum?
