Can someone please explain how the search results work?

I am having a heck of a time figuring out how bitwarden’s search results work. For example, I have a slew of items named like so:

  • string1 - name1
  • string1 - name2
  • string1 - name3
  • string1 - name4
  • string2 - name1
  • string2 - name2
  • string2 - name3
  • string3 - name1
  • string3 - name2
  • website1
  • website2
  • blah
  • dingo
  • bingo

Now, in the search box, if I type string1 it will filter on these, which makes sense:

  • string1 - name1
  • string1 - name2
  • string1 - name3
  • string1 - name4

But if I continue typing so the search box has string1 na it will show me everything in my vault, including those other ones like website1, website2, etc…

And if I enter string1 name1 then it shows me all results with string1 OR name1. I would expect it to show me all results here name has both string1 AND name1.

I can’t figure out why or how to change/fix this behavior. Is it possible?

We have the same “issue”, if you have tonns of passwords it would be nice to change the search term to an “AND”. At least in the Win10 App.

Yeah. I am surprised this post hasn’t gotten any attention. We can’t be the only two who want this.
