4.5 is searching through everything instead of a few fields first [Fixed in the latest 6.2 betas]
I think, until this is fixed - it's not ready for release.
Why it takes 5+ seconds to show up my login in search in Category, or password?
Today I figured that out: It search through every item field.
What I think, search should be layered:
- search through item titles
- login
- notes
- everything else...

Search is very fast for me.
How many items are in your vault? What device are you using?
Also, what does layered search mean?

Hi @Aleks B,
I have ~3000 items in the app on the iPhone 5S, it is very speedy for me. We added a progress spinner in the search field to indicate it is still searching but it should start showing you the data right away.
Have you killed the app in the background and try again in a fresh state? If that didn't help, what about selecting the Logins category and then search in there, does it still show the slow search experience?

Ditto. I've been hoping this would get better, but 1P takes "too much" time (5-7 seconds) to display all the results of my searches, particularly when the item I'm looking for shows up at the end of the list. Using an iPhone 4S and iPad 3 with 1,675 times.

Thanks for your ditto!
This will be fixed in one of the follow-up updates to 4.5.

Seconded, it's ok but not great on iPhone 5, it's slow on iPad 2 with ~500 items... Searching through titles first should be a great fix!

Sorry gents, nothing to report on this front as of yet.

We will, I've nudged the team to see if we can make it happen sooner as it is slow even on iPad Air 2 with its three-core CPU.

Hi @Aleks B,
We haven't optimized the search performance yet, that is coming in the future but we did make some improvements in other areas, which is what you already saw.
By the way, I merged your other thread into this one, it is the same issue. Creating a separate thread to bring up the issue won't improve the odds of getting it fixed.
For now, I'd suggest favoring the specific Paypal item and you can find it quickly next time in Favorites.

Just to add my 2 cents, @MikeT, "Need quickly" and "Use a lot" are not necessarily the same thing. I use favorites for entries I use several times a day and for which it would be laborious to search every time. I use search to find things quickly that aren't in favorites; things I might only use once a month but need quickly. I find that search doesn't always return results closely related enough to what I need so that it meets the criterial of getting at an entry quickly, just as Aleks B has noted.
Search works alright most of the time, but I wanted to throw in a second voice to Aleks' notion that it would be great if better search results was a higher priority.

Just to add to the point: If I added everything I needed quickly but don't use often to my favorites menu, it would be long enough to require it's own search field ;-)

Hi @fatherfork,
Thanks for your 2 cents. It was just a suggestion for Aleks, it doesn't mean it'd work for everybody else. There are also tags that some people might find more useful than favorites but yes, you're correct, smarter search would do the job more effective than anything else. That's simply because tags and favorites implies you've finished the search once in order to tag them to find them again. If you haven't done the search already, then tags/favorites doesn't help at all.
Just to be clear, we're not saying this isn't a priority, we do have some plans to optimize the searching to be smarter and quicker than the current iteration where it just brute-forces through everything.

Hi @sashk,
Thanks for checking in on us about this, which I've mentioned to our developers. There's no further news at the moment but when we have any updates we'll be sure to let you know. I understand this can be frustrating and your patience is appreciated!
