1Password search tip (iOS) - Search from Spotlight to find items in any vault

Like most users, I have several vaults shared with different family members. Most of those vaults contain items I rarely need myself, so to avoid clutter, I have "All Vaults" set to only show contents of my Primary and Personal vaults.

Normally, to find an item quickly, I just use the built-in search function. But I recently discovered that that only searches within the vault being currently viewed.

If I want to search for an item stored in a different vault, I have to switch to that vault first. This is a pain.

But...

I just figured out that iPhone's Spotlight Search will find any item in any vault. I'm sure some people already know this, but for me it's a big deal. Very useful.

Just remember to enable Spotlight Search in the 1Password general settings, and to include 1Password in the Spotlight Search results in your iPhone's general settings.

I'm sure this tip is relevant to all iOS users, but I think the Families users are more likely to have multiple vaults with items they rarely access.
