filtered search not accurate

great, I login and write up my issue, press submit and am diverted and get told i have to confirm my email despite logging in and thus have to start again a great incentive to discourage postings.

@ninjauk: I'm sorry to hear that, but that's how we prevent spam. You'll notice that rarely any is seen here, unlike many other web discussions. But as you can also see, it hasn't discouraged others from posting. When you signed up for the account here, you were asked to confirm it. But if you never did that would explain why you'd forgotten until you ran into that issue. We'll see if a better option comes along in the future though. :blush:

yet again i search for an item and despite almost completely writing the whole title i am presented with dozens of opetions and if that is not bad enough so as to be pointlee when i search for somethinge else such as my bank that may have 3 logins to same bank i get a list of 2 and have to select view more to see the 3rd - now that makes no sense.

Are you perhaps searching "All Fields"?

I actually prefer that myself, but there's a reason it's not the default. If you have "wp" or "-" in a lot of URLs, titles, notes, and other fields and this is causing your frustration, "Search Major Fields" may be a better option for you. Or, better yet, if you choose "Show Search Options", that will let you narrow the results further by setting certain criteria. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

well i am tired using a search function that takes up dozens of unrelated logins despite having practically writing the full title of teh login beinh searched and even then the listings atre in a random order so I still ahve to waste time reading dozens (67) in te current example - is time t move on as clearly this is a pointless discussion that has been an issue for at least a year i first tooknotice of it.

@ninjauk: It sounds like using more than 3 character or narrowing your search scope might help. Please see my suggestions above. For example, we have a ton of search options. You should try them.

NB: not sure why thsi posted as I have tried about a dozen times and kept asking me to login despite being logged in - would imagine majority gave up a long time ago as I am now. the frequency of teh software disapearing from my broswer is not acceptable and teh hassle fixing on holiday !

I don't know what you're talking about here about holidays and disappearing software. Can you be more specific? Unfortunately without some basic information you've omitted from your posts it's hard to say what might be going wrong and how we might right it! Please tell me the OS, 1Password, browser, and extension versions you're using, the exact steps you're taking, and what is (or is not) happening the way you expect so we can figure out the best plan of action:

Find your version

The more information you can give, the better. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi @ninjauk,

You may be able to create a Smart Folder where the criteria is set to find any items where the folder field is blank. That should show you all items not in folders. Is that what you’re looking for?

Please let us know. :)

@ninjauk,

That’s strange, as we tested the smart folder here and when set up like the screenshot it shows only the items not assigned to folders. Hmm. In any event I think it is worth backing up for a minute as something about this whole situation is a bit off. Can you please tell me do your login items have website fields that contain the URL of the website that they are for? E.x. does your login for Google have https://google.com/ in a website field?

1Password is designed to only show items that have website fields that match the page you’re on. If your items are set up correctly when you’re on google.com you’ll only see login items in 1Password that have website fields with google.com in them.

When you are searching for an item try using the least and most unique term. So for example if you have a bunch of items that all have the string wp - in them, try searching for jbe.sol instead (working off the 2nd screenshot in your 1st post)

Please let me know.

Ben

Great! Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that worked out. Enjoy!

i will tryt and figure out the information but the point si why it s asking now randomly adn what happens ehn thsi invariable happens again when I am away from my desktop ? just randomely asking me to register something has been done allready ?

@ninjauk: Without more information I can only guess: either you have multiple copies of 1Password installed, you've deleted something, some software has deleted something, or there's simply something wrong with your computer. But you're asking us questions about things which we can't have any insight into. We have literally no information about your system, as you haven't even told us the OS.

figured it out but had these issues, nothing was downloaded despite saying it was being downloaded found another link in the end but not ideal when away from home and happens on laptop and left with no access to anything ! Thanks again

I don't even know what you're doing here. Did you find the license email? I really encourage you to follow my suggestions above. There just isn't anything else we can do to help you without more details. :(
