Save Item -> Update existing: Let us search please!
The times I can actually use the 'update existing' feature seem few and very far between. Usually the list of items is not showing the item I actually want to update. I guess because the URL is not set or not matching.
Please let me search for the item I want to update! This would make my use of 1Password SO MUCH easier.
Thank you.

Thank you for getting back to me with this information @Hyldegaard, I see where you are coming from.
I have put in a request on your behalf to look into ways to make it easier to assign a URL to an existing item that doesn't contain a URL.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with in the meantime.

Hey @Hyldegaard,
I'm sorry for the delayed response!
You're right, when 1Password offers to update an existing item it will show items with URL's that match the page you are on.
Can you provide me with an example where you would want to update an item with a different URL? I'd love to gain a better understanding of the behaviour you are after.
Thanks!
Sometimes in a websites login flow the URL will switch between their main domain and some other user management provider (like Microsoft, workday, things like) or sub/domain (shop.example.com -> uam.example.com) and would redirect to some new page and sometimes return back to the original page once logged in, or continue under the new or different domain/url.
Specifically, I had an autofill rule for a *.icims.com item to only autofill on the specific subdomain, but when creating a passkey, it redirected out of the subdomain (to icims.com) and the item I wanted to add the passkey to was not available to select. So having the search would be helpful to associate the passkey to the correct item.
I think having the search would be useful for cases such as these, moreover there is no way to copy or move existing fields from one item to others (easily to my knowledge you have to copy the label then content over, but you can't copy a passkey: you would have to move all the original/existing/other content to the passkey's item). Which makes my interim solution of creating a new item to store the password/credential then "copy" it over tedious.
