1P8 iOS Search Single Vault
Longtime 1P user who finally upgraded to an annual membership and, therefore, 1P8 (begrudgingly). Already, I'm seeing the UI is a downgrade from 1P7, but it's usable, so ... ok. However, my primary issue, at this moment, is the fact that you can't natively limit search to a specific vault. Searching this forum, I see the team's official solution is to tell us to add "=vault:[VaultName]" to our search. That's NONSENSE! I mean, c'mon! If I'm searching for, say "Facebook," I'd need to type "=vault:[VaultName] Facebook" instead of just selecting the vault I want to search and typing "Facebook"? Tooooooo many extra steps/typing and a huge step backwards in UI and usability over previous versions.
I love that the devs frequently respond directly here. So, what I want to know is WHY. Why did the developers decide that this was the way they would handle searching? If a limiter can be typed into the query to search specific vaults, it would not be difficult at all for the UI to include a small drop-down to select the vault to be searched. Devs are clearly aware of the issue because I can find several reports on this forum with users complaining about this going back 8+ months, and yet, nothing has been done about it when it should be a pretty simple and painless fix as the ability to limit search already exists with the appropriately typed operators. What I want to hear is the reason the devs are ignoring those complaints and why they chose to downgrade the user experience by not allowing vault searching natively in the UI.
Thanks!

Brilliant! Thanks!! Did I miss a tutorial somewhere (or a reply in another post?) because I never would have thought to try that when there’s a big “Search” button on the bottom. Haha. That made a big difference in my iOS usability. Thx for the help.
