Are there certain search booleans I should be aware of?
I am looking for a partial match of "1@g" when I search in 1password 8 for mac. This returns 106 results. However, if I search "@g", it returns 250 results. None of the results have any data in any field that matches any of these strings sequentially by character. Can someone explain what exactly it is matching when I enter "1@g"? Is the @ character in the search box some kind of boolean opertor I don't know about?
THanks.

As far as I remember search currently splits search phrases into words by characters like ., and probably @. Even worse it doesn't use boolean "and" to search for all words but uses boolean "or". Thus the search results are very often not what one might expect.
The search problems of 1PW8 are known for almost two years...
1PW7's far better search does not have this kind of problem.0 -
viswiz is correct. Thanks viswiz. The original issue was filed for a period breaking the search into two portions. Looks like other characters have crept into the mix. I've made an additional note of that.

Today I was searching for which of my login items used a specific email address. Hundreds of unrelated items appeared due to the @ splitting. I don't think email addresses should be word-split.
Edit: splitting is OK, but the entire email address needs also be searchable as entity, taking higher priority on a match.
