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've taken a look at the internal work item and, while this is still on our developer's radar, I don't see any updates that I can pass along at the moment. When, and if, the issue is addressed you'll see it listed in our release notes: 1Password Releases

    Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

    Hi JamesHenderson,

    Appreciate you sharing your findings with the community. Your original observation is also our current working theory, that . in a search string splits it into additional search queries. Hopefully we'll be able to share some updates about this in the future.

    Regarding search behaviour, we do have an ongoing internal discussion about the current search vs. find options, so I'll share your feedback there.

    Thanks for your insight on these subjects!

    For anyone else tearing their hair out over this, I have just found out that it works correctly with 'find' (⌥⌘F) but not search.

    No clue why and also bemused that there is both a search and a find. What's that all about?

    edit: Ignore that, 'find' does not look in all fields :/ - so even weirder that it exists (to me).

    I received an official survey asking about 1Password a few days ago. One of the questions was 'why did you like 1PW'. The answers included something like 'I like the fact I can store all this extras info'. ...but what's the point if you cannot search it properly?
