Search not searching properly and not quite as usable

Hi ag_mike_d, Thanks for pointing me to the beta, I'll try it as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, I am missing any comment regarding usability of the modal window. I have also noticed, that when I search for a query which is a tag name, only the tag is displayed in the search results instead of items having this tag assigned, which is an unnecessary additional step to filter out items with this tag (or, in my case, a single item).

Hi mitchr,

I appreciate your reply and I'm sorry this was not helpful, but understand that an advanced function to search by title or perhaps a specific field type would be useful. I've passed this additional feedback along. Thanks!

I didn't know that was an option, but not helpful in this case.
Looking at my example above, if I name my 1pass GMail account "GMail - Mitch", and I search for GMail or mitch or mitch@gmail.com, I get all the accounts that have that string. If I can narrow the search to Login Titles, I'm more likely to find what I'm looking for. That said, the titles of my Google accounts use "Google" ;)

Hi mitchr,

Thanks for your feedback. With a large number of items, I can see where additional filtering options would be helpful and I've included your thoughts for the team.

In the meantime, does searching while using the Find (Ctrl + Alt + F) option help to improve your results?

I would add that additional filtering/sorting would be helpful. For example
* only show vault/note/etc names (don't search the contents)
* whole word only

In my experience, once you have hundreds of entries, the search functionality breaks down pretty quickly. myname@gmail.com is very common, so for my GMail vault name, I have to use a naming convention to find it quickly.

Hello @Finwe,

Thanks for your message. We're continuing to look at making improvements to the search functionality and this kind of feedback helps the team understand what customers are looking for. As viswiz mentioned (thanks), our release notes for the latest Beta of 1Password 8, list the improvement we've made with partial substring matching. If you'd to give the Beta a try, you can follow this guide:

Use 1Password beta releases

Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

The current stable release of 1PW8 doesn't support substring/partial words search. It searches always from the beginning. After ten months of waiting the current beta (released yesterday) finally supports searching for substring again - a feature all previous 1PW versions had.
Sadly the cumbersome UI with its dropdown and additional shortcut has not been reverted to far superior UI used in previous 1PW versions.
