Extend the search: Make names of Folders, Collections and Vaults searchable

This would be especially helpful in the browser extension and mobile apps.

+1 from me. We recently imported our organization’s KeePass 2.x Database into Vaultwarden/Bitwarden. It is however hard to find the correct entries. KeePass’ search was much better (at least the official Windows application’s search) as it would also search the folder names (which now in Bitwarden is managed as Collections within the organization).

Thanks, in the web vault you can tap collections to search collections, or visit the organizations tab.

Searching folders will be possible in a future update, thanks for your patience!

Is there any progress on this? It would be very appreciated. We have 350+ collections, and scrolling to find the right one is a pain.

This feature would be so nice to have also in the desktop app.

We have exactly the same issue. KeePass’s search was global, and gave good fuzzy matching for anything that would be relevent. Bitwarden’s search is not great compared to it. My Director was telling me felt like going from Google at its peak to using regex or Ask Jeeves.

+1 for this Feature Request!

It would be also great if you can search the Collection, when you add a password item (in the Browser extension).

@paul6 Welcome to the forum!

Just as a sidenote: your screenshot shows the old extension UI, that is no longer in development.

Note: I merged another Feature Request (FR) to the same topic with this one.

I also made the title of this FR more clear. (before, it was: “Extend Search to Folders and Collections and Vaults”)

How is this still not a thing? We are evaluating Bitwarden for use in ours and our clients orgs and all looks good apart from the fact that searching is only partly implemented. I am dumfounded.

Same here, now nested folders are always collapsed in the desktop app so its even harder to navigate collections

A ETA for this feature?
