Feature Request: Search in Secure Notes

elfelfelf

I have many passwords in secure notes but there is still no page search there to find information in note. Please make this feature available.

Welcome to the forum, elf×3!



Can you help us understand why you'd store passwords in Secure Note items, rather than in Login items?



I ask because you can't use Secure Notes to log in to a site using the 1Password extensions for browsers, and you already [i]can[/i] search Secure Note items in the main 1Password program.

I have many passwords not fo Internet, like credit card PINs, mobile phone PINs, also contact information, phone numbers etc. So I have a lot of info but I can't search within a note. Page search available in Mac version but not in Windows version. Ctrl-F is not working <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Have you looked at Wallet items, Account items, and Software items?



They all contain fields that you can fill—even in non-browser UIs—using [url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password_Windows/auto-type.html"]the auto-type feature[/url]. I think you'll find them much handier than cramming everything into a single Secure Note item that has to be searched.



For any items you feel simply have to remain in Secure Note items for some reason, consider creating a different item for each of them; that way, you don't have to search the content—you can simply search for the item with the content you want.



Again, though, I think you'll find most of them can go into other, more specific item types altogether.



Please let us know if you have any other questions, elf×3.

You *can* search in secure notes. Simply click "include notes and passwords in search" while the search bar is up (Ctrl+F)

Stefan, I was thinking perhaps elfx3 tried to edit a Secure Note item, place the insertion point in the text field, and press Ctrl+F.



If so, elf×3, you need to use the search function as designed.



To search Secure Note items:[list=1]

[*]Select the [b]Secure Notes[/b] vault (or the All folder).

[*]Press Ctrl+F.

[*]Enable the [b]Include notes and passwords in search[/b] option.

[*]Start typing in the search field.

[/list]

For important related information, see [i][url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password_Windows/search.html"]How do I work with the search feature?[/url][/i] in the [i]FAQ[/i] section of the user's guide.
