More Polished Search Function
As the title suggests, I feel the search function needs polishing.
Currently, the search defaults to "search all vaults". It's understandably the most common use of a search, I admit. But the detail annoys me when, say I finish a search, go back to browsing, and then need a credit card info later. I click on credit cards category, the search (or more like a filter in this case) is still there, rendering 0 items in credit card category. It's only one more click to clear the search box, and the credit cards will show up...
I admit this is not a major "issue", but it's details like these that differentiate whether a program is polished or not.
I wonder if it's better to clear the search box by default when switching categories.
BTW, this is not rare, I run into this situation a couple of times a day, hence why I bothered to post here to request for improvement ;)

Hi @cs88rf,
Thanks for the suggestion. We do plan to overhaul the search experience, there are a lot of improvements we want to do:
- Clear results when switching categories or vaults
- Add an advanced search UI, so we can default to
titleonly and you can choose to expand to all fields on the fly or customize the search - Add additional sorting options such as reverse sorting, customized filters for stuff like password age that'd be useful in Watchtower and Passwords. While sorting is different from search, they're related.
- and so much more.

Excited to hear! I'm looking forward to the new features.

We are too, we just need to find a way to clone our developers or build a time machine. :smile:

@MikeT is it also possible to sort the search so that the best match is at the top. For example, I have a login for "Activo" and another for "CTI". If i search for cti, Activo will be first just because it has the letters 'cti' within its name. This doesn't make much sense as I would never search for Activo by using letters in the middle of its name.

That's a good point. Definitely something we'd like to improve. Thanks for the feedback! :)
