How does searching work? I search on an IP address like "10.8.0.10" and get crazy results

When I do a search as described, I get a random set of results, most of which do not contain that text string. This occurs whether or not the search string is placed within quotes.

What are the rules for searching?

It does not help that one cannot search within the results easily. Many of the results of search a search a long lists of IP addresses, and it is not easy to see if it is in the list or not. One has to copy the content into another editor and search there.

    I have the same issue with 1Password 8. I used to search by entering a part of IP address in 1P 7 and it worked perfectly. But now when I enter for example 0.7 to find 192.168.0.7, instead I get so many unnecessary results. And any types of quotes are ignored indeed.

    It took ten months to get an essential feature like substring search back. But I haven't seen a single sign from Agilebits that they are going to revert the other search regressions like:
    * arbitrarily split search terms into words and using boolean 'or' concatenation instead just search or at least use boolean 'and'
    * instead of an annoying popup window that prefilters results just show all results and get rid of the extra keyboard shortcut

    In short just bring back the UI and workflow of the previous 1PW versions.

    Things you would maybe expect to work but don't:

    • Double-quotes: "10.0.0.1"
    • Single-quotes: '10.0.0.1'
    • Escaping the periods: 10\.0\.0\.1

    And on another note, having to press CMD+Enter just to search is also extremely inconvenient for anyone who actually wants to use search to... search!

    adamjb I Know. It's embarrassing.

    It's also a massive red flag for me over their attention to detail, addressing basic customer needs and therefore their overall strategy.

    I'm currently evaluating alternates...

    How can search be broken this badly for at least 5 months with no fix in sight?

    I have lots of passwords saved for IP addresses and the results I get are junk!

    My colleagues and I on the customer support team aren't able to say when the developers will get to this but it is in their backlog and hopefully it'll be addressed in the future. Thank you again for reporting the issue.
