Can not search secure notes from Chrome extension
I am using Chrome extension. I like to search from the extension, a secure note where I have saved my Car's VIN number. It looks like from extension I can not search secure notes and notes in saved logins (like the routing number of my bank that I have added to my bank login info. ). Is this a lack of feature or as usual I am missing something obvious? :)
Regular search in extension works fine.
thanks for your help in advance.

I have only one vault.
So to be clear. I have a secure note named "Car Info". In the body of this note, I have "VIN: XYZ".
I open Chrome, I click on 1pw extension in chrome. unlock my vault. i search the string VIN. I get zero results.
If I do the same search in 1Password app and select to search in Major fields, I also do not get results.
If I do the same search in 1Password app and select to search in ALL fields, I get the results.0 -

What happens if you try searching for "VIN" again in the browser extension after doing this? I am asking since the 1Password app needs to be configured to search in all fields first, so if you try searching for something inside the browser extension before configuring 1Password to do that, it's normal that it won't return any results, as per your example.

Hi ag_ann
My 1PW app has been set to search in all fields since almost start of my subscription as I do add a lot of notes.
Have you tried this scenario as I described? It is just a few easy steps. Thanks0 -
Yes, I tried your scenario, and I am able to search within the notes fields, as mentioned in my first reply to you above. I am also using Chrome, and the 1Password browser extension version 4.7.5.90. The only difference I can see between my setup and yours is the OS (I am on Catalina currently), but I don't think that this would have any role in this.

This is very strange. I’ll create a new vault and do a test and see. Thanks

Ok, this is becoming a bit strange.
Let's call my original and only vault the "PRIVATE" (because it is exactly called that). I created a new vault "TESTVAULT".Added "car info 2" secure note to TESTVAULT and I am able to search the notes section of this secure not using chrome extension.
I moved all my items from PRIVATE to TESTVAULT. searching for VIN still does not find "car info" and only find "car info 2".
To see what is wrong with PRIVATE, I added a new secure note to PRIVATE and it is totally searchable.
So something is going on with old entries that I had in PRIVATE and it does not even matter if they are moved to another vault. The are not searchable unless I am only searching in Major fields.What can I do now? Recreating my 575 entries from scratch is just not possible.
:(PS: I can delete the TESTVAULT but PRIVATE does not show delete option at all, ( I have tried everything I can). Maybe something related to my issue, maybe not but still annoying.

Hey @nashmrkt :smile: So we're not duplicating the work in two places, I'm going to close this discussion here and we can continue the conversation in the email you sent in.
