In addition to the problems I mentioned above I would like to add my main use case for 1PW.
Its main feature might be managing online identies and associated credentials but for me it's more - a personal secure information manager. I use it to store not only credentials but software licences, network information, personal documents, vouchers, tickets and many more. Your own homepage advertises 1PW's features as follows:
1Password comes with everything you need to protect, fill, and securely share your passwords, credit cards, and other private information.
The more data I store in 1PW the more results I get by searching for something and that is exactly what I expect. But the change of 1PW8's search makes it much more difficult to efficiently get the result I'm looking for. The relevance filtering never gets it right. It's just a major obstacle in getting the desired results... all results and not something prefiltered.
As this major pain point still hasn't been fixed in two years and the team doesn't seem to be willing to change anything in the near future I've started to move my data (except for credentials) into Devonthink, a personal information manager that has proper search functionality and even proper item counts.
